Lab-4: Reconnaissance and Information Gathering
A hacker uses many tools and methods to gather information about the target. There are two broad categories of information gathering methods: passive and active. These methods are detailed in the table below. In this lab, you will perform passive information gathering (gray-shaded column). In Lab 5, you will be performing active information gathering. Please review the table before starting this lab.
Information Gathering
Passive (Reconnaissance and Information Gathering) – This Week
Active (Scanning and Enumeration) – Next Week
Is the hacker contact with the target directly?
No direct contact with the target
Direct contact with the target
Are the activities logged?
No audit records on the target
Audit record might be created
What kind of tools has been used?
Web archives, Whois service, DNS servers, Search Engines
Port scanners, network scanners, vulnerability scanners (Nessus, Nmap)
What information can a hacker collect?
IP addresses, network range, telephone numbers, E-mail addresses, active machines, operating system version, network topology
Live hosts on a network, network topology, OS version, open ports on hosts, services running on hosts, running applications and their versions, patching level, vulnerabilities.
In passive information gathering, the hacker does not directly contact the target; therefore, no audit logs have been created. Both non-technical (such as employee names, birth dates, e-mail addresses) and technical information (IP addresses, domain names) can be gathered. This information can be used in many ways in the subsequent steps of the attack. For example, the phone numbers or e-mail addresses you discovered can be used in social engineering attacks. DNS records or subdomain names can be used to leverage specific attacks against hosts or URLs.
More notes on Reconnaissance and Information Gathering :
1) In this phase, an attacker may collect a lot of information without being noticed.
2) In some cases, an attacker may even discover vulnerabilities.
3) The information collected in this phase can be quite valuable when evaluated together with the information collected in the scanning and enumeration phase. For example, you might find the phone number and name of an employee in this phase, and you may find the computer IP address in the active scanning phase. You can use these two pieces of information together to leverage a social engineering attack. An attacker will increase the chance of gaining trust when s/he calls the victim's name and talk some specific about the victim's computer.
4) Companies should also perform reconnaissance and information gathering against themselves so that they can discover -before hackers- what kind of information the company and company employees disclose.
In this lab, you will practice 6 passive methods of Reconnaissance and Information Gathering. You have to use Kali VM in Sections 3, 5, and 6 of the lab. You may use Kali.
Lab-3 Cyber Threat Analysis In Lab-3, you will do some c.docxLaticiaGrissomzz
Lab-3: Cyber Threat Analysis
In Lab-3, you will do some cyber threat analysis by browsing several websites and services maintained by either security companies, volunteers, or hackers. Nothing will harm your computer as long as you don't push the limits by clicking on the links and ignoring the browser's security warnings.
To ensure %100 security, you can consider using the Firefox browser inside your Kali VM instead of using the browser at your computer. If you proceed with your computer, then it is recommended to update your browser if it is out of date.Section-1: Analysis of zone-h.org
Zone-h.org is used and most probably operated by hackers to share the websites that they defaced. They don't provide any details on how they hacked the website; instead, they share the URL of the defaced website and a mirror for the defaced webpage.
If you are planning to use your computer instead of Kali VM, it is strongly suggested to open a new incognito/InPrivate/Private browser window for the following steps:
1) Enter the website:
www.zone-h.org
2) Click on the Archive menu on the top menu. You will see the result screen similar to below:
There is a lot of information on defaced websites on this page, including the original URL and the hacked version of the website (on the mirror link at the rightmost column). Hacked versions of the websites give some clues on the motivations of the hackers; you can see political reasons, have some fun, or a basis to make cyberspace secure.
The legends M and R provide more insight on the defacement. M means mass defacement. If you click one of the M letters, you can see the defacements initiated from a specific IP address. Mass defacements are usually succeeded by the help of scripts. Hackers prepare the scanning and exploitation scripts, scan thousands of websites for a particular vulnerability, and exploit the ones that have the specific vulnerability.
3) Click on one of the M letters you spotted, and see the websites defaced from the same IP address. You can see the IP address in the address bar.
Note: You can perform a whois query to see the detailed information about the IP address you found, including contact information and geographical location.
4) To see a redefacement, you can click one of the R letters you spotted.
Below is an example screenshot of a redefacement, myschool.ng website has been defaced twice in two years.
5) You can click the ENABLE FILTERS link at the top and search for the websites with gov extension. You can see the result of this query below.

Google Hacking: Convergence of Google and BotsImperva
This report shows how hackers leverage the power of search engines to conduct cyber reconnaissance. Hackers, armed with a browser and specially crafted search queries (“Dorks”), use botnets to generate more than 80,000 daily queries, identify potential attack targets, and build a picture of the resources within that server that are potentially exposed. Automating the query and result parsing enables the attacker to issue a large number of queries, examine all the returned results, and obtain a filtered list of potentially exploitable sites. As searches are conducted using botnets, and not the hacker’s IP address, the attacker’s identity remains concealed.
Hii the convergence_of_google_and_bots_-_searching_for_security_vulnerabiliti...Mousselmal Tarik
Hackers are now using botnets to automate Google searches on a massive scale, generating over 80,000 queries daily. By distributing searches across many compromised machines, hackers can evade detection techniques used by search engines. Hackers first obtain a botnet, then use a tool to coordinate widespread searching using lists of search terms likely to return vulnerable sites. This enables hackers to efficiently collect many potential targets for crafting attacks.

Client Forensics: An Assessment of Existing Research And Future DirectionsCSCJournals
This paper provides an assessment of processes for identifying artifacts, left on client devices after a cloud storage interaction. It focuses on those artifacts that may be used to prove usage of a cloud service, as proposed by the current research. Besides providing the current state of knowledge in client forensics, this paper (1) provides a summary of current research in the area of client forensics, (2) presents similarities and differences among proposed processes and identified artifacts, and (3) presents some possible future work. Investigators need to understand how devices and cloud storage services interact, the types of evidential artifacts that are likely to remain on the devices after cloud storage interaction, and how they may be used to prove usage. Not knowing if a cloud service was accessed, or which cloud service or the location of digital evidence can potentially impede an investigation.

In this assignment you will develop simple scripts to manage the user and file system whilst
developing some expertise in managing a complex file system.
Part 1: Automated Account Management (4 marks)
You have been asked by your boss to prepare two shell scripts which manage user information.
You are to prepare a simple shell script which reads a text file called users.txt. The file is in the
form
dfs /home/dfs Daniel Saffioti
and creates these users on the system without any interactive input. To do this you will need to
use the adduser(1) and passwd(1) commands. You will need to randomly produce the password
and report this to the administrator.
You can assume the fields being username, home directory and GCOS string are separate by a
single white space.
You can assume all users are in the same group.
The program should output the username and generated password once created.
Part 2: Design of a File System (3 marks)
https://outlines.csu.edu.au/delivery/published/ITC333/201860/SM/I/outline.html#contentPanel
You work for the Information Technology Department in your University and you have been

The volumes can grow without bounds, so it was felt that the ZFS file system should be used for
each volume. The operating system itself need not be on a ZFS volume.
All volumes including the operating system should be engineered in such a way to ensure the
best data protection is afforded in the event of local disk failure. It is expected that no more than
1 hours worth of data will be lost.
The volumes required are as follows:

Medical Imagining Through Healthcare
When we come to think of it, choosing a career is by far one of the most difficult decisions an adult can make. For some, that decision is chosen for them, whether it’s a business that’s being passed down or through the influence of others around them. Up until my senior year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. That was until I took an anatomy class and a class called Independent Study Mentorship (ISM). In ISM, we were required to find a career of interest and a professional in the field who you would "shadow" once a week for the entire year. I knew I was good at math so the career I chose was accounting. For many reasons, such as finding it quite boring, I quickly realized that this wasn’t the career for me. In my anatomy class, however, I found a passion in the health industry. It was by far the most difficult class I've enrolled in however; it has also been the most exciting class I've ever taken. I remember looking forward to the class, even when studying for exams, as I would challenge myself to get above a 95. Since then, I knew I had found my passion in health. Through several hours of research, the career I am most interested in is Radiology. When I took the Myers Briggs Personality test on the Humanmetrics website (2020), I discovered that my personality type is ENTJ. People with this personality type are known to be driven to turn theories into plans, highly value knowledge, are future-oriented, and usually possess excellent verbal communication skills. People tend to have a lot of anxiety about taking x-rays. I will use my excellent verbal communication skills to put patients at ease about their x-rays. I believe all of my traits make me the perfect candidate for my career choice because they confirm that I am responsible enough to work in the medical field and will be skilled at anticipating the next step. Being organized is very helpful in any career path as well and will only serve to enhance my other qualities. I also believe my last trait of consistency might be the most important; treating everyone with the same level of care is the only way to ensure the best results for everyone who walks through those hospital doors, which ultimately leads to the most lives saved.
Job Responsibilities

Client Forensics: An Assessment of Existing Research And Future DirectionsCSCJournals
This paper provides an assessment of processes for identifying artifacts, left on client devices after a cloud storage interaction. It focuses on those artifacts that may be used to prove usage of a cloud service, as proposed by the current research. Besides providing the current state of knowledge in client forensics, this paper (1) provides a summary of current research in the area of client forensics, (2) presents similarities and differences among proposed processes and identified artifacts, and (3) presents some possible future work. Investigators need to understand how devices and cloud storage services interact, the types of evidential artifacts that are likely to remain on the devices after cloud storage interaction, and how they may be used to prove usage. Not knowing if a cloud service was accessed, or which cloud service or the location of digital evidence can potentially impede an investigation.

Detecting Phishing Websites Using Machine LearningIRJET Journal
1. The document proposes a system to detect phishing websites in real-time using machine learning. It trains a random forest classifier on a dataset of URLs and associated features to classify websites as legitimate or phishing.
2. The system collects URL and page content features from a user's browser and sends them to a cloud-based random forest model. The model was trained on over 40,000 URLs and achieved 97.36% accuracy at detecting phishing sites.
3. The proposed system provides advantages like real-time detection, using a large dataset for training, detecting new phishing sites, and independence from third-party services. It aims to protect users by identifying phishing sites before sensitive information is entered.
This document proposes using network-based signatures to detect spyware. It analyzes common spywares, how they operate, and their network activity.

In this assignment you will develop simple scripts to manage the user and file system whilst
developing some expertise in managing a complex file system.
Part 1: Automated Account Management (4 marks)
You have been asked by your boss to prepare two shell scripts which manage user information.
You are to prepare a simple shell script which reads a text file called users.txt. The file is in the
form
dfs /home/dfs Daniel Saffioti
and creates these users on the system without any interactive input. To do this you will need to
use the adduser(1) and passwd(1) commands. You will need to randomly produce the password
and report this to the administrator.
You can assume the fields being username, home directory and GCOS string are separate by a
single white space.

Medical Imagining Through Healthcare
When we come to think of it, choosing a career is by far one of the most difficult decisions an adult can make. For some, that decision is chosen for them, whether it’s a business that’s being passed down or through the influence of others around them. Up until my senior year of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. That was until I took an anatomy class and a class called Independent Study Mentorship (ISM). In ISM, we were required to find a career of interest and a professional in the field who you would "shadow" once a week for the entire year. I knew I was good at math so the career I chose was accounting. For many reasons, such as finding it quite boring, I quickly realized that this wasn’t the career for me. In my anatomy class, however, I found a passion in the health industry. It was by far the most difficult class I've enrolled in however; it has also been the most exciting class I've ever taken. I remember looking forward to the class, even when studying for exams, as I would challenge myself to get above a 95. Since then, I knew I had found my passion in health. Through several hours of research, the career I am most interested in is Radiology. When I took the Myers Briggs Personality test on the Humanmetrics website (2020), I discovered that my personality type is ENTJ. People with this personality type are known to be driven to turn theories into plans, highly value knowledge, are future-oriented, and usually possess excellent verbal communication skills. People tend to have a lot of anxiety about taking x-rays. I will use my excellent verbal communication skills to put patients at ease about their x-rays. I believe all of my traits make me the perfect candidate for my career choice because they confirm that I am responsible enough to work in the medical field and will be skilled at anticipating the next step. Being organized is very helpful in any career path as well and will only serve to enhance my other qualities. I also believe my last trait of consistency might be the most important; treating everyone with the same level of care is the only way to ensure the best results for everyone who walks through those hospital doors, which ultimately leads to the most lives saved.

Mass Murderers and Serial KillersReview the two case studies out.docxLaticiaGrissomzz
Mass Murderers and Serial Killers
Review the two case studies outlined below:
Case 1: Mass Murder
Andrea Yates was convicted of drowning her five children and given a sentence of life in prison.
Later, it was found that the sentence of life in prison was based on the inaccurate testimony of a highly respected forensic psychiatrist. Her life sentence was overturned, and she was found guilty by reason of insanity and sent to a mental hospital.
Yates suffered from severe postpartum depression and had been hospitalized for an attempted suicide before she killed her children. Yates was delusional and reported having thoughts that were degrading and persecuting her for her motherhood. She was also having command hallucinations telling her she was a bad mother and her children would grow up to be criminals, so she should save them by drowning them.
Case 2: Serial Killer
In 1980, John Wayne Gacy was found guilty of murdering 33 young men. He picked up some of his victims at a local homosexual bar. Other victims were taken home for "interviews" as prospective employees for his construction business. The remains of 29 victims were found buried under his home while the other four victims had been thrown into the Des Plaines River near Chicago.
Gacy always maintained his innocence throughout the trial and appeals process claiming someone else put the bodies in the crawl space beneath his house. Also known as "The Killer Clown," Gacy used handcuffs and chloroform to subdue his victims, and then he would tie a rope around their necks and slowly twist until he squeezed the life out of them.
Gacy had been married twice and had two children from the first marriage. Both marriages ended in divorce when his wives found items from his victims or were unhappy from a lack of any sexual contact between them. During both marriages and afterwards, Gacy was considered an outstanding member of his community. Gacy was executed on May 10, 1994.
Case 1 (mass murder) and Case 2 (serial murder) can be analyzed and categorized by fitting them into one or more of the theories developed to explain the phenomenon of multiple murder. The theories are developed by experts in the field who study mass and serial murderers.
After reading the two case studies, discuss the following:
What are the similarities and differences between the definitions for serial and mass murder?
What purposes are served by establishing the typologies that apply to a mass murderer? Are they the same purposes that are served by establishing the typology of a serial killer?
Could a serial murderer ever become a mass murderer and vice versa? Why or why not?
Considering the cases described above, which typologies apply to each killer? Explain how you arrived at this conclusion.

Memorandum of Understanding The Norwalk Agreement” .docxLaticiaGrissomzz
Memorandum of Understanding
“The Norwalk Agreement”
At their joint meeting in Norwalk, Connecticut, USA on September 18, 2002, the Financial
Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the International Accounting Standards Board
(IASB) each acknowledged their commitment to the development of high-quality,
compatible accounting standards that could be used for both domestic and cross-border
financial reporting. At that meeting, both the FASB and IASB pledged to use their best
efforts to (a) make their existing financial reporting standards fully compatible as soon as
is practicable and (b) to coordinate their future work programs to ensure that once
achieved, compatibility is maintained.
To achieve compatibility, the FASB and IASB (together, the “Boards”) agree, as a matter
of high priority, to:
a) undertake a short-term project aimed at removing a variety of individual
differences between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRSs, which include International Accounting Standards, IASs);
b) remove other differences between IFRSs and U.S. GAAP that will remain at
January 1, 2005, through coordination of their future work programs; that is,
through the mutual undertaking of discrete, substantial projects which both
Boards would address concurrently;
c) continue progress on the joint projects that they are currently undertaking; and,
d) encourage their respective interpretative bodies to coordinate their activities.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING – FASB and IASB 2
The Boards agree to commit the necessary resources to complete such a major
undertaking.
The Boards agree to quickly commence deliberating differences identified for resolution in
the short-term project with the objective of achieving compatibility by identifying common,
high-quality solutions. Both Boards also agree to use their best efforts to issue an
exposure draft of proposed changes to U.S. GAAP or IFRSs that reflect common
solutions to some, and perhaps all, of the differences identified for inclusion in the short-
term project during 2003.
As part of the process, the IASB will actively consult with and seek the support of other
national standard setters and will present proposals to standard setters with an official
liaison relationship with the IASB, as soon as is practical.
The Boards note that the intended implementation of IASB’s IFRSs in several jurisdictions
on or before January 1, 2005 require that attention be paid to the timing of the effective
dates of new or amended reporting requirements. The Boards’ proposed strategies will be
implemented with that timing in mind.

CVS Health is considering expanding into China. China represents a large potential market due to its population of 1.38 billion people and growing middle class. While expansion could increase CVS's revenue and global presence by diversifying its portfolio, there are also challenges. CVS must understand Chinese culture, consumer demands, and the economic, political, and social differences between the US and China. It should also modify its retail outlets and strategy to better serve Chinese customers. With adequate research and preparation, expansion into China's favorable business environment could strengthen CVS's competitive position globally. However, government policies and cultural differences may also impede its success.
Meeting or Beating Analyst Expectations in thePost-Scandals .docxLaticiaGrissomzz
This document summarizes a study that investigates changes in the stock market's reaction to companies meeting or beating analyst expectations, and changes in companies' reliance on earnings management and expectations management, following major accounting scandals in the early 2000s. The study finds that the stock market no longer rewards companies for meeting expectations by small amounts, and rewards are smaller for beating by larger amounts. It also finds companies are less likely to rely on earnings management to meet targets, but more likely to manage expectations downward. Overall, meeting expectations has become a stronger signal of future performance since reliance on earnings management has decreased.

SUBJECT: MEMO & SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE COLUMBUS, OHIO POLICE DEPARTMENT
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The accompanying SWOT analysis was developed to identify levels of trust in the CPD, considering the high crime rate in Columbus, Ohio and the violence often connected to it. The youth and community interactions are highlighted as strengths and opportunities, whereas public distrust and crime are highlighted as weaknesses and threats, respectively. So, my suggestions for the CPD are to use crisis professionals in nonviolent situations (such mental health and homeless crises) and to give diversity in hiring top priority.
BACKGROUND
Crime in Columbus, Ohio, is so high that "more than 96% of the other municipalities [in Ohio] have a lower crime rate," making it one of the most dangerous cities in the country. Given the police's efforts to increase public safety, some may question the force's current standing. CPD's credibility has been damaged since the outbreak began as a result of the officers' fatally shooting of unarmed African Americans and the use of tear gas and rubber bullets on hundreds of protesters during the Black Lives Matter Movement (Wedd,2020). The U.S. Department of Justice has launched an investigation into the CPD because of these misdeeds, looking into their policies, procedures, and any racial prejudices.
SWOT ANALYSIS
After compiling the foregoing information, I developed the SWOT analysis of the CPD in the bellow attached. With the crime rate always on the rise and the public demanding action from law enforcement, one must wonder: do people still have faith in the Columbus Police Department? It is the goal of the SWOT analysis to shed light on the sources of distrust and the means by which trust can be reestablished in those sources. Youth engagement, fundraising prowess, and departmental effectiveness are all areas in which the CPD excels (Wedd,2020). There is a lot of mistrust in the public, and the reputation of executives and the workers are both falling. They have potential in attracting a more diverse workforce and gaining the trust of young people and communities. An increase in violent crime, public discontent, and reluctance on the part of the public to call the police will pose serious challenges for the Columbus Police Department.
RECOMMENDATIONS
First, in situations where police intervention is unnecessary (such as nonviolent mental health crises, suicide threats, and homeless crises), I advocate for the use of trained crisis experts rather than solely police personnel. specially at this time when public faith in law enforcement is low and crime rates are high, deploying police to areas where they are most needed and appreciated can make communities safer overall. In addition, many people think "police officers and police organizations are incapable of repairing themselves" because of policing's racist origins. Additionally, 73% of.

Metabolic acidosis A decrease in serum HCO3 of less than 24 mEqL.docxLaticiaGrissomzz
Metabolic acidosis: A decrease in serum HCO3 of less than 24 mEq/L and an increase in the hydrogen ion concentration in the systemic circulation (Burger & Schaller, 2022).
Pathophysiology: This occurs when non-carbonic acid concentrations rise, bicarbonate (base) is lost from extracellular fluid, or the kidneys are unable to replenish it. This can happen suddenly, as in the case of lactic acidosis brought on by inadequate circulation or hypoxemia, or more gradually, as in the case of renal failure (failure to excrete acid) or diabetic ketoacidosis (excess production of keto acids from lack of insulin) (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Clinical manifestations: Alteration in the neurologic, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and cardiovascular systems are signs of metabolic acidosis. Initial symptoms of severe acidosis include lethargy and a headache, which can escalate to a coma. Respiratory compensation is indicated by deep, fast breathing (Kussmaul breaths). It's typical to have anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Extreme acidosis may make it harder for the heart to contract normally and result in potentially fatal dysrhythmias (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Evaluation and treatment: Lab results, symptoms, and medical history are used to make the definitive diagnosis of metabolic acidosis. The results of the laboratory tests will reveal arterial blood pH below 7.35 and bicarbonate concentration below 24 mEq/L. A movement to the right can be seen in the oxyhemoglobin curve. For a buffering solution to be used effectively, the underlying issue must be identified. Administration is necessary to raise the pH to a safe level during severe acidosis (pH 7.1), especially if there is renal failure. Deficits in water and sodium must also be made up (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Metabolic alkalosis: An initial rise in serum bicarbonate, which causes a blood pH increase to >7.45 (Tinawi, 2021).
Pathophysiology: Increased bicarbonate concentration, which is often brought on by an excessive loss of metabolic acids. Prolonged vomiting, stomach suctioning, a high intake of bicarbonate, hyperaldosteronism with hypokalemia, and diuretic medication are all conditions that might lead to metabolic alkalosis (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Clinical Manifestations: Volume loss and electrolyte deficits are linked to several common symptoms including weakness, cramping, and overactive reflexes. Some people may have paresthesias, tetany, and seizures. To maximize carbon dioxide retention, respirations are shallow and sluggish. With severe alkalosis, disorientation and seizures happen. A potential issue is atrial tachycardia. As oxyhemoglobin's dissociation decreases and the likelihood of dysrhythmias rises, the oxyhemoglobin curve shifts to the left (Huether & McCance, 2014).
Evaluation and treatment:A sodium chloride solution is necessary for the treatment of contraction alkalosis or hypochloremic alkalosis. As a result, HCO3 may be expelled as NaHCO3 in the urine .

McDonald’s—The Coffee Spill Heard ’Round the World
The McDonald’s coffee spill is the most famous consumer lawsuit in the world. Everyone knows about this case, and the details involved in it continue to be debated in many different venues—classrooms, Web sites, blogs, law schools, and business schools. Regardless, it serves as one of the best platforms in the world for discussing what companies owe their consumer stakeholders and what responsibilities consumers have for their own well-being. Consumers, lawyers, and analysts are still debating the world famous coffee spill case.
Keeping the topic hot was the 2011 documentary film,
Hot Coffee
, which analyzed the famous coffee spill, set the facts straight, and highlighted the ongoing debate about the impact of tort reform on the U.S. judicial system. The film premiered at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and aired on HBO during June 2011. The film won many awards.
Stella Liebeck
Stella Liebeck and her grandson, Chris Tiano, drove her son, Jim, to the airport 60 miles away in Albuquerque, New Mexico, on the morning of February 27, 1992. Because she had to leave home early, she and Chris missed having breakfast. Upon dropping Jim off at the airport, they proceeded to a McDonald’s drive-through for breakfast. Stella, an active, 79-year-old, retired department-store clerk, ordered a McBreakfast, and Chris parked the car so she could add cream and sugar to her coffee.
What occurred next was the coffee spill that has been heard ‘round the world. A coffee spill, serious burns, a lawsuit, and an eventual settlement made Stella Liebeck (pronounced Lee-beck) the “poster lady” for the bitter tort reform discussions that have dominated the news for more than 20 years. To this day, the issue is still debated, with cases similar to Stella’s continuing to be filed.
Third-Degree Burns
According to Liebeck’s testimony, she tried to get the coffee lid off. She could not find any flat surface in the car, so she put the cup between her knees and tried to get it off that way. As she tugged at the lid, scalding coffee spilled into her lap. Chris jumped from the car and tried to help her. She pulled at her sweatsuit, but the pants absorbed the coffee and held it close to her skin. She was squirming as the 170-degree coffee burned her groin, inner thigh, and buttocks. Third-degree burns were evident as she reached an emergency room. A vascular surgeon determined she had third-degree (full thickness) burns over 6 percent of her body.
Hospitalization
Following the spill, Liebeck spent eight days in the hospital and about three weeks at home recuperating under the care of her daughter, Nancy Tiano. She was then hospitalized again for skin grafts. Liebeck lost 20 pounds during the ordeal and at times was practically immobilized. Another daughter, Judy Allen, recalled that her mother was in tremendous pain both after the accident and during the skin grafts.
According to a
Newsweek
magazine report, Liebeck wro.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
Lab-4 Reconnaissance and Information Gathering A hacker.docx
1. Lab-4: Reconnaissance and Information Gathering
A hacker uses many tools and methods to gather information
about the target. There are two broad categories of information
gathering methods: passive and active. These methods are
detailed in the table below. In this lab, you will perform passive
information gathering (gray-shaded column). In Lab 5, you will
be performing active information gathering. Please review the
table before starting this lab.
Information Gathering
Passive (Reconnaissance and Information Gathering) – This
Week
Active (Scanning and Enumeration) – Next Week
Is the hacker contact with the target directly?
No direct contact with the target
Direct contact with the target
Are the activities logged?
No audit records on the target
Audit record might be created
What kind of tools has been used?
Web archives, Whois service, DNS servers, Search Engines
Port scanners, network scanners, vulnerability scanners (Nessus,
Nmap)
What information can a hacker collect?
IP addresses, network range, telephone numbers, E-mail
addresses, active machines, operating system version, network
topology
Live hosts on a network, network topology, OS version, open
ports on hosts, services running on hosts, running applications
and their versions, patching level, vulnerabilities.
In passive information gathering, the hacker does not directly
contact the target; therefore, no audit logs have been created.
Both non-technical (such as employee names, birth dates, e-mail
addresses) and technical information (IP addresses, domain
2. names) can be gathered. This information can be used in many
ways in the subsequent steps of the attack. For example, the
phone numbers or e-mail addresses you discovered can be used
in social engineering attacks. DNS records or subdomain names
can be used to leverage specific attacks against hosts or URLs.
More notes on Reconnaissance and Information Gathering :
1) In this phase, an attacker may collect a lot of information
without being noticed.
2) In some cases, an attacker may even discover vulnerabilities.
3) The information collected in this phase can be quite valuable
when evaluated together with the information collected in the
scanning and enumeration phase. For example, you might find
the phone number and name of an employee in this phase, and
you may find the computer IP address in the active scanning
phase. You can use these two pieces of information together to
leverage a social engineering attack. An attacker will increase
the chance of gaining trust when s/he calls the victim's name
and talk some specific about the victim's computer.
4) Companies should also perform reconnaissance and
information gathering against themselves so that they can
discover -before hackers- what kind of information the company
and company employees disclose.
In this lab, you will practice 6 passive methods of
Reconnaissance and Information Gathering. You have to use
Kali VM in Sections 3, 5, and 6 of the lab. You may use Kali
VM or your computer (the only thing you need will be an
Internet browser) for the rest of the sections.Section-1: Using
Google Search Operators
Google search engine has many search operators that help us
collect specific results about a website, eventually a company.
You will use some of these operators in this lab.
1) Search the term
site:franklin.edu
Notice that all results are specific to Franklin Univesity pages.
Review the search results and find three subdomains among the
3. results. What is a subdomain: the word
"library" is a
subdomain of the franklin.edu domain, as
https://library.franklin.edu is an active website.
2) Search the term
site:amazonaws.com
This search result in millions of websites or documents that
have been hosted on Amazon cloud servers.
Review the search results and find some company websites that
have been hosted in the Amazon cloud. (AWS).
3) Search the term
Franklin Univesitysite:amazonaws.com
This search query will reveal documents and web pages having
"Franklin University" keywords and hosted in Amazon AWS.
4) Search the term
filetype:doc site:franklin.edu
The filetype operator produces the search results linked to the
indexed files with the type indicated in the operator. Above
search will reveal word files hosted in the franklin.edu domain
and indexed by Google.
If the above query does not produce any results, try another
query by changing the file types such as docx, ppt, pptx, pdf.
Download one file and check the metadata information. Find
information such as username, author name, application version,
etc. There are various methods to see the metadata information.
You can right-click the file and check the details tab, as shown
below. Alternatively, you can open the file with Microsoft Word
and see the properties within the Word program. Use the Google
search engine, if you need, to learn how to see metadata
information of Microsoft office documents/PDF files.
4. Note: Every small piece of information is important for a
meticulous pentester. A username such as john.smith can
indicate that the username pattern used in the organization is
name.surname. It is important to know the username patterns in
the social engineering attacks. Some metadata might contain
Office software and operating system version information.
Version information provides information about the patch level,
and a hacker/pentester can create malicious payloads specific to
the versions found in metadata.
5) Search the term
inurl:login site:franklin.edu
inurl operator here finds the pages that contain the "login" in
the URL. By using this operator, we can discover login forms
hosted by the targeted website.
Review the search results.
Take a screenshot of one of the login forms.
6) Visit this page:
https://www.exploit-db.com/google-hacking-database
QUESTION: Choose a query, start a Google search and analyze
the search results.
Note: “The Exploit Database is a CVE
compliant[footnoteRef:1] archive of public exploits and
corresponding vulnerable software, developed for use by
penetration testers and vulnerability researchers. Our aim is to
serve the most comprehensive collection of exploits gathered
through direct submissions, mailing lists, as well as other public
sources, and present them in a freely-available and easy-to-
navigate database. The Exploit Database is a repository for
5. exploits and proof-of-concepts rather than advisories, making it
a valuable resource for those who need actionable data right
away [1: https://cve.mitre.org/data/refs/refmap/source-
EXPLOIT-DB.html]
The Google Hacking Database (GHDB) is a categorized index of
Internet search engine queries designed to uncover interesting
and usually sensitive information made publicly available on
the Internet. In most cases, this information was never meant to
be made public but due to any number of factors this
information was linked in a web document that was crawled by
a search engine that subsequently followed that link and
indexed the sensitive information." (Source of this double-
quoted information: exploit-db.com about page)
Note that Google hacking (Google Dorking) is a broad topic;
there are books written on this topic.Section-2: Using
archive.org
1) The Wayback Machine is an essential part of the Internet
Archive project (archive.org). It is a digital archive of the
World Wide Web, allows the user to go “back in time” and see
what websites looked like in the past. (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayback_Machine)
The Wayback Machine provides useful information for the pen-
testers and hackers as well.
1) Go to
archive.org website
2) Type in
franklin.edu to the Wayback Machine
3) See that the Wayback Machine has been archiving
franklin.edu since December 23, 1996. You can check how the
first webpage of Franklin was.
2) Assume that you are performing a penetration testing for
6. Franklin University. You were checking an internal portal
website. You found a link in one of the message forums.
a) This is the link you found. Click on this or type in the
address:
http://www.franklin.edu/univinfo/univinfo.html
You will come up with a 404 error saying, "Sorry, this page
does not exist."
As the pentester, you are curious. You wonder what information
was published on this page, and that information might be
useful for your pentest. As the URL contains “info”, this might
be something important.
b) Type in this URL
http://www.franklin.edu/univinfo/univinfo.html to the
Wayback Machine and see when the webpage was archived.
As you can see, the last snapshots of this page were taken in
2002. As a pentester, you may continue your search and find
some useful information, or you can discard your search
because this page does not have recent snapshots.
c) Go to October 18, 2001 snapshot and see how this page looks
like.
3) Now, you will perform an OSINT (Open Source Intelligence)
challenge by using the Wayback Machine. Think about this
case:
Paul was System Admin at x64 Corporation. He argued with his
manager and left the company a few days back. Being
disappointed, he started leaking sensitive data. He also deleted
all the employee records.
Help our investigators to find his Phone number.
Take a screenshot of the browser window where Paul's phone is
shown.
Section-3: Using gau Tool to Obtain a List of Archived
URLs
A tool named gau (getallurls) fetches archived URLs from
several databases, including the Wayback Machine, for any
given domain. In this part, you will install this tool to your Kali
7. VM (Virtual Machine) and use it for franklin.edu domain.
1) Open your Kali VM
2) Type in your credentials (username: kali, password: kali)
3) Open a terminal window
4) Type in the following commands:
a. sudo apt-get update (This command updates the package lists
for upgrades and new packages; strongly recommended to
complete the next command successfully)
b. sudo apt-get install golang (This will install golang compiler
because gau was written with Go)
i. Type in kali as password when asked
ii. Press Y when asked
c. GO111MODULE=on go get -u -v github.com/lc/gau (This
will download gau from github and install it)
d.
cd ~/go/bin or
cd /home/kali/go/bin (Go to the directory where gau has
been installed)
e. ./gau franklin.edu (Run the gau against franklin.edu to find
the archived webpages in franklin.edu domain)
f. It will not take much time to complete the command;
however, you can press CTRL-C to stop the query if you want.
Take a screenshot of the terminal window showing the last 10 to
20 rows of the result.
Section-4: Using Shodan
Shodan is a specialized search engine that provides information
about the versions of the devices connected to the Internet. A
device can be anything having an IP address, including
webservers, IP cameras, and even refrigerators, as long as it has
been reachable by Shodan search robots.
Note: Please register Shodan before starting this lab. You will
need to log in before using search filters in your searches. The
first query below does not require you to login; however, you
will need to register and then log in for the rest of the queries.
The Shodan website is
8. shodan.io
1) Find all Apache web servers that the Shodan search engine
has detected.
Type in
apache to the search box and press enter. Review the
results pages.
2)
Find all Apache web servers located in China.
Type in
apache country:"CN" to the search box and press enter.
Take a screenshot of the search result.
3)
Find all Apache web servers located in Shanghai.
Type in apache
country:"CN" city:"Shanghai" to the search box and
press enter.
4)
Find assets belong to an organization of your choice
among the results in the Step-3.
Type in
apache country:"CN" city:"Shanghai" org:"Alibaba” to
the search box and press enter.
Note: Don't forget the check the website of Shodan on Black
Friday. Shodan gives premium membership for just $5 instead
of $49.
9. Section-5: Using sublist3r and amass
Sublist3r is an opensource tool to enumerate subdomains of
websites using OSINT; it checks for the subdomains by using
search engine data and security services like VirusTotal,
ThreatCrowd.
Use your Kali VM to complete this lab. After logging into your
Kali, open a Terminal window and type in the following
command to install sublist3r.
sudo apt-get install sublist3r
Kali Linux may ask for a root password; if this is the case, then
type in kali as the root password.
1) Find all subdomains of franklin.edu
Type in
sublist3r -d franklin.edu to the terminal window.
2) Find which subdomains have port 80 is open
Type in
sublist3r -d franklin.edu -p 80 to the terminal window.
Note: Because sublist3r uses OSINT to find subdomains, most
subdomains may not be active at the moment. You can try
searching for inactive subdomains in the WayBack Machine of
archive.org. Pentesters and hackers may access useful
information by using sublist3r and archive.org together.
Now you will use another tool named
amass to query the franklin.edu domain. amass is an
OWASP project (
https://owasp.org). It is a convenient tool for the
enumeration of domain names, subdomains, associated IP
addresses, and ASN numbers.
1) Find subdomains of franklin.edu along with IP addresses by
using amass.
Type in
amass enum -ip -d franklin.edu to the terminal window.
10. You can press CTRL-Z to stop the query after some results have
been generated.
Take a screenshot of the terminal window (no need to capture
all of the results).
Section-6: Finding DNS Records of a Domain by using
nslookup
nslookup is used to query DNS servers and obtain the data
stored by DNS servers such as IP addresses, hostnames, MX
records, etc.
Use your Kali VM to complete this lab. Although nslookup is a
versatile tool that comes with almost every operating system,
the usage of parameters may change among different
implementations.
Before starting below steps, change the DNS server address
configured at Kali VM to Google DNS, which is 8.8.8.8. In
order to do this:
1) Open a terminal window
2) Type in the following command to open the resolv.conf file.
This file is used to store and configure the operating system's
DNS resolver
sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
This command will ask for the root password. Type in kali to
open the resolv.conf in vi editor. The vi editor is a handy text
editor that comes by default with Linux distributions.
3) In vi editor, press “i” letter to convert to the write mode.
4) Delete the IP address next to “nameserver” and type in
8.8.8.8 as the new DNS server
5) Press the "Esc" key when you finished editing.
6) Type “:wq" so that you can save your changes and quit vi.
Lab Steps:
1)
Find the IP address of
www.franklin.edu website
Type in
11. nslookup franklin.edu to the terminal window.
2)
Find the authoritative DNS server of the franklin.edu
domain.
Type in
nslookup -type=ns franklin.edu to the terminal window.
Take a screenshot of the terminal window.
3)
Find the MX record of the franklin.edu domain.
Type in
nslookup -type=mx franklin.edu or
nslookup -query=mx franklin.edu to the terminal
window.
4)
Find all possible franklin.edu records stored by the
DNS server.
Type in
nslookup -query=any franklin.edu to the terminal
window.

Training, Development, and Separations
The purpose of this post is to discuss the difference
between training and career development. Also reviewed is
whether training or career development is more likely to
increase retention in an organization and why. Finally, ethics
training is viewed in light of a Christian worldview.
Training in the Workplace
When leaders value human capital, strategic plans will
include workplace training. Training plays a critical role in an
organization’s success and should be part of its strategic plan to
contribute to a competitive advantage (Noe et al., 2021). In
addition, employees can develop the skills needed to perform
their jobs when training is provided, resulting in higher
employee engagement and increased retention (Ranganathan,
2018). Organizations that allocate resources for training
activities in their business strategy communicate their
commitment to human capital management (Noe et al.,
2021).
New Hire Orientation is Part of Onboarding, Not Training
New hire orientation is part of onboarding new hires
and helps transition them into their new work environments, but
it is not to be confused with training. Jeske and Olson (2022)
13. define new hire orientation as a component of onboarding to
familiarize a new employee with company practices, important
policies and procedures, and general safety rules. Human
resource professionals must carefully consider the design of the
onboarding process, including new hire orientation, as new
hires who are dissatisfied with the process within the first few
months of their employment resign within their first year
(Shufutinsky & Cox, 2019).
Train for Individual and Organizational Success
Our textbook defines training as “a planned effort by a company
to facilitate employees’ learning of job-related competencies,
knowledge, skills, and behaviors” (Noe et al., 2021, p. 279.)
The goal of workplace training is to provide employees with
additional skills and knowledge needed to successfully perform
their jobs' essential duties and responsibilities. In addition to
job training, many corporations require ethics training to impact
present and future employee behavior (Kancharia & Dadhich,
2021). Employee training, or the lack thereof, directly affects
an organization’s productivity and, ultimately, its success
(Demiral, 2017). In addition, Demiral (2017) finds that
companies that provide formal training gain more than they
invest, termed train to gain. Many employees are well-educated
and trained in their field of work, yet, training in how their
organizations work and their overall business strategy will help
the company gain a competitive advantage (Noe et al., 2021).
Career Development in the Workplace
Career development is a form of continuous learning that
extends throughout the employee life cycle (Noe et al., 2021).
Continuous learning may also be likened to a growth mindset,
never allowing one’s career development to become stagnant.
Career development is critical to an organization's success, too.
The importance of career development comes to light in times
of economic downturns or business crises that may necessitate
employee adaptability and flexibility (Noe et al., 2021).
Organizations train employees to arm them with competencies
14. necessary to perform their jobs well, operate more efficiently,
and show they are committed to employee development (Randall
et al., 2022). From the employee side, individuals want career
development opportunities to perform better, become more
valuable to their company through cross-training, promotion
possibilities, and being marketable to potential future employers
(Wolfson et al., 2018).
Wickramaratne (2021) relays that while there is a
growing emphasis on self-management of careers, organizations
still play a vital role in developing their employees’ careers.
Employers may offer career development opportunities, but
employees must proactively take advantage of them. There is a
dual responsibility of both employer and employee, and each
must do their part (Wickramaratne, 2021). For example, an
employer may offer a career development opportunity through
tuition reimbursement for an employee to obtain an
undergraduate or graduate degree. However, it is up to the
employee to take advantage of this opportunity.
Does Increased Retention Result from Training or Career
Development?
Employee retention increases with both
training and career development. Job candidates are attracted to
positions that provide training to be successful employees, and
they are attracted to organizations that will provide additional
training when safety concerns arise or when the business,
industry, or economy necessitates training (Demiral, 2017).
Career development activities provide work readiness for an
employee's current and future employer (Ranganathan, 2018).
When an organization creates a culture of continuous learning
and career development supported by management, the result is
increased employee satisfaction and higher retention
(Wickramaratne, 2021).
Supervisors play more than just the role of relaying
training plans and job expectations to their subordinates. When
supervisors foster relationships with their employees and are
involved in the training process, organizations find increased
15. job performance ratings that lead to increased job satisfaction
and engagement, resulting in increased retention (Zhang et al.,
2020). Employees who are provided with opportunities to
participate in formal and informal learning and perceive they
have received adequate support from management report feeling
they have a profound obligation to remain working at their
organization, even during onerous circumstances (Randall et al.,
2022).
Biblical Integration
Human resource professionals have a unique opportunity
to develop, incorporate, and communicate a Code of Ethics in
their organizations. This information can then be presented on
an organization’s website for candidates to view as they
consider employment opportunities. During new hire
onboarding and annual compliance training, human resource
experts can communicate ethical guidelines or codes along with
procedures to report violations. Training should include a
discussion of ethical dilemmas that employees may face with
their employer. For example, topics could consist of the
following: (a) taking credit for a colleague’s work, (b) offering
a client a product that is not in their best interest because the
employee will profit, (c) utilizing inside knowledge for self-
profit, and (d) changing financial numbers on a report to qualify
for a bonus. Believers know that ethical behavior is more than
doing the right thing; it is commanded of us in Scripture.
Leviticus 19:11 tells us, “You shall not steal, nor deal falsely,
nor lie to one another” (New American Standard Bible, 1995).
Ethical dilemmas may be found in relationships with colleagues,
leaders, clients, and business partners. Training will help
employees analyze ethical dilemmas, develop and strengthen
ethical competencies, and help avoid organizational crises
(Kreismann & Talaulicar, 2021).
Conclusion
Corporations that provide training and career
development opportunities show they value human capital and
understand its long-term value. In addition, allocating resources
16. for training and career development activities further solidifies
an organization's commitment to its employees. Management
support is essential to the training and career development
experience. Both training and career development result in
employee satisfaction and increased retention, which can give
an organization a competitive advantage. Wise leaders will
include training and career development opportunities as
retention strategies.

DB2: Training, Development, and Separations – Impact of
Downsizing
In our dynamic and rapidly changing global business
environment, organizational downsizing is an unfortunate side
effect that can negatively impact employee productivity and
morale (Noe et al., 2021). Often referred to as “rightsizing”, the
process of letting employees go, is never easy and should be
taken with the utmost consideration, as it not only impacts those
workers that have been laid off from their job, but also
substantially affects the workers that remain at the company,
the layoff survivors. Socioeconomic shocks such as layoffs and
downsizing have been linked to increased work-related stress
and mental health concerns, job insecurity, lower job
satisfaction, and a weakened commitment to the organization
(Elser et at., 2019).
A study by the American Management Association
revealed that only one-third of the organizations that conducted
downsizing actually increased profits as a result (Noe et al.,
2021). How then should managers and human resources
departments handle the inevitable downsizing of the workforce
while minimizing the collateral damage? After all, it is also the
reputation on the company that is at stake. Present and future
prospective employees need to be reassured that the leaders of
the organization are fair-minded, acting in good faith, and are
genuinely concerned with being accountable to stakeholders.
The process for rightsizing should begin prior to passing out
pink slips. Managers must analyze the big picture and how the
overall supply chain will be affected by reducing employees.
Will the reduced number of workers be capable of producing the
19. same output? If the decision is made to let go of “unessential”
employees, this should be done by analyzing productivity data
of individual workers through downsizing models to determine
the cost and benefit of each employee (Pandey, 2018).
Typically, the most recent hires are the first to get let go as the
company has not invested as much in education and training for
the newer employees as those who might have been with the
company for a number of years. Temporary layoffs, or
furloughs, may be a better option to put the company in a
position to recall skilled employees when the economy and
financial conditions improve.
Managers and human resources professionals must be
committed to engaging with the surviving employees through
open communication in order to maintain a sense of
commitment and trust (Noe et al., 2021). Transparency and
communication of financial standing with employees is essential
so that they understand the reasoning for the reduction in staff.
In the event of an economic downturn, company leaderships
could also receive pay cuts to show that they are equally
invested in the growth process. Such a gesture would go a long
way to show support and reinforce common goals.
Responsible downsizing that incorporates strategies,
best practices, and actions in which HR, management, and
employees are involved in the process, can provide solutions to
curb the negative impact of lay-offs (McLachlan, 2022).
“Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one
another, be compassionate and humble” (New International
Version, 2011, 1 Peter 3:8). Layoffs might be necessary to keep
a company above water during difficult times. However, it’s
important to look at the human factors involved in the situation
and be accountable to all stakeholders for long-term success.
