Cybercriminals focus on Cryptocurrency
•
1 like•100 views
Cybercriminals focus on cryptocurrency like Bitcoin because there is significant monetary value involved, with the total market cap exceeding $11 billion. They are able to earn coins through malware that mines cryptocurrency on victims' devices without their knowledge, or through ransomware attacks where victims' data is encrypted until a ransom is paid in cryptocurrency. Common attacks include malware containing cryptocurrency mining tools, ransomware like the WannaCry attack of May 2017 that demanded Bitcoin payments, and fake initial coin offerings that trick investors.

All about Hacking
Hacking refers to activities aimed at exploiting security flaws to obtain unauthorized access to secured networks and private information. There are different types of hackers, including black hats who hack maliciously, white hats who are ethical hackers, and script kiddies who use tools created by black hats. Common hacking methods include password guessing, software exploitation, backdoors, and trojans. Once inside a network, a hacker can steal or modify files, install backdoors, and attack other systems. Intrusion detection and prevention systems can help monitor for hacking attempts. Hacking is a felony in most countries and can carry heavy fines and prison sentences if prosecuted.

Dark web by Claudine Impas
The Dark Web refers to web pages that are intentionally hidden from standard search engines and browsers. Pages can be concealed by not having any inbound links, using special keywords or headers to reveal content, or residing within anonymous networks like TOR. The TOR network allows for complete anonymity and is thus associated with illegal activities like drug marketplaces, weapons sales, child pornography, and other illicit goods and services. To access the hidden Dark Web, special anonymizing browsers are required.

Cryptocurrency uses cryptography to conduct financial transactions securely and decentralize control. While initially controlled by a single founder, it has grown to include many alternative coins (altcoins) like Ethereum and Litecoin. Transactions are recorded on a public blockchain to prevent fraud. Cryptocurrencies offer low fees, global access, and pseudonymity compared to traditional currency but are subject to market volatility. Adoption may help the global economy through increased activity, financial access, and transparency of transactions.

Enabling Reusable and Adaptive Modeling,Provisioning & Execution of BPEL Proc...
This document proposes an architecture for enabling reusable and adaptive modeling, provisioning, and execution of BPEL processes. The architecture supports collaborative, dynamic, and complex systems through reusable process fragments and abstract activities that can be flexibly modeled and executed. It consists of a modeling environment to create and manage process models using fragments, and a runtime environment containing an execution engine, integration layer, and persistence layer to instantiate and execute processes by injecting fragments at runtime. The architecture was evaluated through a use case of modeling and executing payment processes across different transportation systems.
Map reduce presentation
MapReduce is a programming model and implementation for processing large datasets in a distributed environment. It allows users to write map and reduce functions to process key-value pairs. The MapReduce library handles parallelization across clusters, automatic parallelization, fault-tolerance through task replication, and load balancing. It was designed at Google to simplify distributed computations on massive amounts of data and aggregates the results across clusters.

b. MapReduce Technology
III. Comparative study
Conclusion
Map reduce advantages over parallel databases
MapReduce has several advantages over parallel databases for processing large datasets:
1) MapReduce can handle heterogeneous systems with different storage systems more easily than parallel databases which require data copying and analysis.
2) Complex functions are more straightforward to express in MapReduce's simple map and reduce model compared to SQL in parallel databases which can require complicated user defined functions.
3) MapReduce provides better fault tolerance than parallel databases by using techniques like batching, sorting, grouping and smart task scheduling during data transfers between mapping and reducing tasks.
Cloud computing risk assesment report
This document provides a risk assessment report on cloud computing. It begins with an abstract discussing how cloud computing has increased risks that consumers should be aware of. It then presents an introduction on cloud computing and the need for risk assessment. Several existing risk assessment approaches are studied. The discussion section analyzes previous risk assessment methods. It finds that while approaches assess risks for consumers, a complete qualitative or quantitative risk assessment method is still needed. The conclusion is that trust between consumers and providers requires a structured risk assessment approach that covers all domains.

Fruit detection using morphological
This document describes a fruit detection technique using morphological image processing. It outlines image acquisition by collecting fruit sample images in JPEG format. Image preprocessing steps like enhancement and noise removal are applied. Color and texture features are then extracted using color space conversion and Canny edge detection. Image segmentation is performed using a clustering algorithm. Morphological dilation is applied to segmented images to count fruit objects. The results show this technique can automatically count and distinguish fruits, providing a low-cost alternative to manual quality inspection.

Bhopal Disaster Presentation
The Bhopal Disaster occurred in 1984 at a Union Carbide plant in Bhopal, India. Several gas leaks had occurred at the plant in previous years, exposing workers to toxic gases. On the night of December 2, 1984, a major leak released 30-45 tons of toxic methyl isocyanate gas into the air, impacting 500,000 to 600,000 people with numerous health issues. The gas leak caused immediate effects like coughing, eye irritation, and difficulty breathing. There were also arguments that negligence and lack of safety precautions by the plant owners contributed to the massive toxic gas release.
Security algorithms for manet
The document proposes algorithms to securely and efficiently apply mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) using identity-based cryptography. It aims to address problems with the extreme vulnerability of military MANETs to foreign attacks by maintaining secrecy, confidentiality, and functionality even if nodes are captured. The key algorithms involve using large keys up to 65536 bits, designating node and main station roles, and refreshing keys through a public key generator that periodically generates new prime parameters, especially when nodes are compromised.
Bayesian network
Bayesian networks are graphical models that represent conditional independence relationships between variables. A Bayesian network consists of nodes representing variables, and directed edges representing conditional dependencies. It encodes a joint probability distribution over all the variables. Bayesian networks allow efficient inference and can represent incomplete data. They are useful for modeling causal relationships and combining domain knowledge with data.
AAA Implementation
The document discusses authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) and provides instructions for configuring AAA on Cisco routers. It begins with an introduction to the three A's of AAA - authentication, authorization, and accounting. It then covers identifying each component and implementing authentication using local services or external servers like TACACS+ and RADIUS. The document also discusses authenticating router access, configuring AAA on Cisco routers including enabling AAA globally and setting authentication lists, and troubleshooting AAA using debug commands.
5G green communication
This document discusses green communication and security challenges in 5G wireless networks. It outlines techniques for power allocation and measuring greenness, including equal power allocation and game theory. It also covers 5G network technologies like device-to-device communication, massive MIMO, small cells, and the internet of things. The document notes security concerns with these technologies and potential solutions. It concludes that 5G networks aim to increase energy efficiency 1000x through combining efficient technologies while maintaining network security.
A survey of ethical hacking process and security
This document outlines the process of ethical hacking and security. It discusses hacking, classes of hackers including ethical hackers, how to conduct ethical hacking, tips for ethical hacking, warnings, and security measures. The goal of ethical hacking is to strengthen network security by identifying vulnerabilities from the perspective of a hacker but in a legal, authorized way to help organizations improve their defenses. It provides guidance on learning skills like coding and using tools to conduct security testing with permission rather than for malicious purposes.
E-DHCP
This document proposes E-DHCP, an extension to the DHCP protocol that adds authentication. E-DHCP uses X.509 certificates and attribute certificates to authenticate DHCP clients, servers, and messages. It introduces an Attribute Authority server that creates and manages attribute certificates linking a client's identity certificate to its allocated IP address. The architecture involves E-DHCP clients and servers possessing identity certificates. Attribute certificates are then used to grant clients access to authorized services based on validating the linkage between certificates and allocated IP address. E-DHCP aims to address DHCP security issues like lack of authentication and prevent denial of service attacks.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
