Please answer ASAP!!! Research Topic: Ransomware attack on k-12 schools (2013-present) BLUF Statement: The persistent surge in ransomware attacks targeting K-12 schools underscores the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures, as a failure to address this issue will likely lead to disruptions of education and compromised student data, endangering the future of our education system. Scope Note: This research paper will provide a comprehensive overview of ransomware attacks on K-12 schools to address the alarming rise in ransomware attacks from 2013 to present. The paper will focus on the frequency, vulnerabilities, evolving tactics, consequences, and significance of these attacks, as well as the need for proactive cybersecurity measures. It will not address ransomware incidents in other sectors or provide an extensive historical overview of ransomware. This work will build on previous research on ransomware attacks on K-12 schools, but it takes a new approach by focusing on five key points. The information will be current as of September 30, 2023. Based on the information, answer the following: Treat something about your chosen term paper assignment as a High Impact Low Probability (black swan) event. Think of your event and then think of what black swan event could come next (but has not happened, yet). You must: Define 2 pathways Identify 3 trigger points/changes in momentum for each of the 2 pathways Identify 2 observables for each of the 6 trigger points Identify 2 factors to deflect each of the 6 trigger points. Briefly explain everything! Examples of what your High Impact Low Probability event could be: the malicious actors behind your event committing a radically different TTP, such as hacktivists using multiple 0days in one attack or a ransomware gang switching to stealing files for espionage purposes; the TTP changes in a radical way, such as the ransomware actors suddenly switching back to opportunistic targeting with low ransoms against many victims; a new leak of information for a clearly different purposes, such as journalists receiving a large dump of files that expose ransomware gangs instead of political/financial crimes; or information that indicates country 1 was using denial and deception techniques to make it look like country 2 was behind your incident but it was really country 1 all along. High Impact Low Probability Analysis Highlights a seemingly unlikely event that would have major policy consequences if it happened. Use when its unlikely but would have substantial impact if it happened Use when there are concerns that policymakers and decision makers are ignoring the consequences of a potential event they should be concerned about Help uncover hidden relationships and key factors Identify oversights in the mainstream analytic line Periodic review helps counter prevailing mind-set errors High Impact Low Probability Analysis 1. Define the outcome (consequences) 2. Define pathways to the event as precisely as poss.

An Indistinguishability Model for Evaluating Diverse Classes of Phishing Atta...
Phishing is a growing threat to Internet users and causes billions of dollars in damage every year. While there are a number of research articles that study the tactics, techniques and procedures employed by phishers in the literature, in this paper, we present a theoretical yet practical model to study this menacing threat in a formal manner. While it is common folklore knowledge that a successful phishing attack entails creating messages that are indistinguishable from the natural, expected messages by the intended victim, this concept has not been formalized. Our model attempts to capture a phishing attack in terms of this indistinguishability between the natural and phishing message probability distributions. We view the actions performed by a phisher as an attempt to create messages that are indistinguishable to the victim from that of “normal” messages. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study that places phishing on a concrete theoretical framework and offers a new perspective to analyze this threat. We propose metrics to analyze the success probability of a phishing attack taking into account the input used by a phisher and the work involved in creating deceptive email messages. Finally, we study and apply our model to a new class of phishing attacks called collaborative spear phishing that is gaining momentum. Recent examples include Operation Woolen-Goldfish in 2015, Rocket Kitten in 2014 and Epsilon email breach in 2011. We point out fundamental flaws in the current email-based marketing business model which enables such targeted spear phishing collaborative attacks. In this sense, our study is very timely and presents new and emerging trends in phishing.

A1 - Cibersegurança - Raising the Bar for Cybersecurity
In the past few years, a new approach to cybersecurity has emerged, based on the analysis of data on successful attacks. In this approach, continuous diagnostics and mitigation replace the reactive network security methods used in the past. The approach combines continuous monitoring of network health with relatively straightforward mitigation strategies. The strategies used in this approach reduce the opportunities for attack and force attackers to develop more sophisticated (and expensive) techniques or to give up on the target. In combination, continuous monitoring and mitigation strategies provide the basis for better cybersecurity.
Exploring the Psychological Mechanisms used in Ransomware Splash Screens
The present study examined a selection of 76 ransomware splash screens collected from a variety of sources. These splash screens were analysed according to surface information, including aspects of visual appearance, the use of language, cultural icons, payment and payment types. The results from the current study showed that, whilst there was a wide variation in the construction of ransomware splash screens, there was a good degree of commonality, particularly in terms of the structure and use of key aspects of social engineering used to elicit payment from the victims. There was the emergence of a sub-set of ransomware that, in the context of this report, was termed ‘Cuckoo’ ransomware. This type of attack often purported to be from an official source requesting payment for alleged transgressions.

Rethinking Cyber-Security: 7 Key Strategies for the Challenges that Lie Ahead
Practice makes perfect. And unfortunately for security professionals, attackers have realized that persistence is a powerful approach to breaching an organization's defenses.
Focusing on prevention alone is no longer a sufficient strategy for securing your organization against the business risks of a breach. Our current security environment demands an approach less centered on ideal prevention and more focused on reality. During this webcast, we discussed key strategies that limit your risk and exposure to unrelenting threats.
Some highlighted topics include:
- How the shift in attacker motivations has impacted today's threat landscape
- Why preventative techniques alone can no longer ensure a secure environment
- Which strategies need to be considered for a holistic approach to security
- What next steps you can take towards identifying your best strategy against attacks

A Time of Great Risk: The Time Between Compromise and Mitigation
In most organizations today, threat detection is based on various security sensors that attempt to look for anomalous behavior or for known signatures of malicious activity. These sensors include firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), application gateways, anti- virus/anti-malware, endpoint protection, and more. They operate at and provide visibility into all layers of the IT stack.

RE: Week 10 Discussion
· From the first e-Activity, identify one to two (1-2) potential ethical challenges that security professionals may face as technology advances, applications become more mobile, and computer criminals become more innovative. Speculate on one (1) solution that security professional could take in order to mitigate the challenge(s) in question. Justify your response.
A potential ethical challenge that security professionals may face as technology advances, applications become more mobil;e and computer criminals become more innovative is that most of the crime comes from the inside so they can cover up their tracks and know to avoid random audits. Also the ignorance of not knowing and leaving information carelessly in the wrong hands by leaving screens up without protection, losing a mobile device with links to sensitive documents, password protection and if working from home, not having enough security or backup. It is hard to speculate a solution that security professionals can take in order to migitate the challenges except to get in a routine. Like if you always lose your car keys one may get in the habit of putting them on a rack, so a routine can be innovated to boost security. As well as randomly performing audits and password changes.
· From the second e-Activity, among the three (3) definitions of cyber terrorism, give your opinion as to the one (1) definition that is the most accurate with regard to information security and infrastructure protection. Next, describe the impact that digital crimes and digital terrorism are likely to have in the future. Provide a rationale for your response.
One definition that i find is accurate is that there is no satisfactory definition because it changes and evolves. When you think of cyber crime it may start with the computer but ends in the homes and business of people. They may start with an income that is funding terrorist acts and then go to recruiting them and having the people to relocate. So it began by the computer but definitely expanded many different ways. The future will had more options and ...

Background information
In recent times, the province of security architecture has profoundly transposed by the escalation of threats targeting critical national infrastructure. The rise in such threats is directly related to the rapid integration of the infrastructures with emergent information technologies (IT). That said, it is easy to conclude that the destructive threats to the infrastructures are from cybercrime. Cybercrime manifests in several dimensions from worms, viruses to malware. It would be easy if such threats confronted quickly. However, the state of affairs is that it is not an easy endeavor at all, and hence protecting national infrastructure is even more challenging than it has ever been.Research questions
This essay answers the questions of the literature related to the emergent threats in the protection of critical national infrastructure. More also, it answers the question of the challenges involved in securing the infrastructures.Methodological approach
The study of data collection is conducted using a qualitative approach. Qualitative research is the scientific study of observations that seeks to describe, explore, explain, and diagnose phenomena by gathering non-numerical data.Data analysis and findings
It has not been easy protecting national infrastructure in the last two decades thanks to an increase in cybercrime. Public information systems are lucrative targets for hackers and other ill-motivated criminals. The state affairs have led to a conclusion that in a time in the current generation, the world is increasingly veering toward cyber warfare. The cost of cybersecurity threats is estimated to be over billions of dollars and still learning. Even with new measures, it appears the rate at which cybercriminals are expanding their technological dominion in the deep web is exceedingly strange.
Cybersecurity attacks take different dimensions. Perhaps one of the most devastating has been related to user inefficiency when handling systems. Most cybercriminal activities have shown an impeccable ability to surpass both the human and system shields that protect systems. In the dawn of the early 2000s, for example, the world was in a panic following an attack unleashed by two Philippine students. The attack, known as love bug exposed the value system behind the human-based security system. It is one of the weakness and which is solely flexible to easy manipulation. Following the love bug attack, the national intelligence system had to be switched off for several hours. The cutting-edge world has seen a multiplication in th.
For the final assessment, you will imagine you are a criminal justic
For the final assessment, you will imagine you are a criminal justice professional and apply the tools and techniques you have learned in the course to a specific scenario. Your task is to produce a polished report based on Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) that have come to your attention from different sources. The report that you produce will eventually be forwarded to an appropriate agency for additional follow-up, and your goal is to facilitate that follow-up by succinctly communicating what you know about the possible threat and what can be done to mitigate it. Your finished intelligence report should identify the type of adversary, ascertain the appropriate agency for eventual follow-up activities, assess the threat level (using an intelligence threat scale), and suggest countermeasures and information protection actions needed to address the threat.
Prompt
Imagine that you are a member of a law enforcement agency and you have received several pieces of raw intelligence from different sources (Suspicious Activities Reports or SARs), which, when taken together, point to a potential threat from a specific adversary. The SARs can be found in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics section of the course.
Your job is to create a clear and comprehensive report that analyzes the intelligence from the SARs in order to pass it on to the appropriate agency. You should structure your report so that the agency, in turn, can respond to the threat in a way that is effective and appropriate given what you have learned. The finished report should sort the information chronologically, funnel it down to a specific adversary, identify the potential target(s) for the adversary’s activities, assess the level of threat, and make suggestions about what can be done to counter the threat and protect critical information so that the adversary does not change the target. Because most intelligence is fragmented, you will need to read all of the SARs carefully in order to gather the necessary information for the finished intelligence report. Remember to use direct language and employ criminal justice terminology appropriate for the type of threat being assessed and the receiving agency. Accuracy and appropriate grammar are also essential for the report’s credibility.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I.
Executive Summary
In this section, you should accurately highlight the essential elements of the intelligence report for quick reference by the agency receiving the report. You should include the name of referring agent (your name), the name of the agency that you are imagining you work for, the current date, dates of the activities being covered in the intelligence report, and a brief summary (two to three sentences) on the adversary, scope, and nature of the potential threat. Although this is the opening section of the report, you may wish to complete it last in order to accurately capture the analysis of the body of yo ...

Project 4: Threat Analysis and Exploitation
Transcript (background):
You are part of a collaborative team that was created to address cyber threats and exploitation of US financial systems critical infrastructure. Your team has been assembled by the White House Cyber National security staff to provide situational awareness about a current network breach and cyber attack against several financial service institutions. Your team consists of four roles, a representative from the financial services sector who has discovered the network breach and the cyber attacks. These attacks include distributed denial of service attacks, DDOS, web defacements, sensitive data exfiltration, and other attack vectors typical of this nation state actor. A representative from law enforcement who has provided additional evidence of network attacks found using network defense tools. A representative from the intelligence agency who has identified the nation state actor from numerous public and government provided threat intelligence reports. This representative will provide threat intelligence on the tools, techniques, and procedures of this nation state actor. A representative from the Department of Homeland Security who will provide the risk, response, and recovery actions taken as a result of this cyber threat. Your team will have to provide education and security awareness to the financial services sector about the threats, vulnerabilities, risks, and risk mitigation and remediation procedures to be implemented to maintain a robust security posture. Finally, your team will take the lessons learned from this cyber incident and share that knowledge with the rest of the cyber threat analysis community. At the end of the response to this cyber incident, your team will provide two deliverables, a situational analysis report, or SAR, to the White House Cyber National security staff and an After Action Report and lesson learned to the cyber threat analyst community.
Step 2: Assessing Suspicious Activity
Your team is assembled and you have a plan. It's time to get to work. You have a suite of tools at your disposal from your work in Project 1, Project 2, and Project 3, which can be used together to create a full common operating picture of the cyber threats and vulnerabilities that are facing the US critical infrastructure.
To be completed by all team members: Leverage the network security skills of using port scans, network scanning tools, and analyzing Wireshark files, to assess any suspicious network activity and network vulnerabilities.
Step 3: The Financial Sector
To be completed by the Financial Services Representative: Provide a description of the impact the threat would have on the financial services sector. These impact statements can include the loss of control of the systems, the loss of data integrity or confidentiality, exfiltration of data, or something else. Also provide impact assessments as a result of this security incident to the financial ...

COM 545 Writing Assignment 2 Scenario UNFO traditionally h.docx
COM 545 Writing Assignment 2
Scenario
UNFO traditionally has been a brick-and-mortar retailer, and the management has experiences
of associated business risks such as employee theft and shoplifting. However, as the
organization moves into the e-commerce model, new risks will be introduced to the
organization. As the junior information security analyst, it will be your role to summarize the
business impact of these new risks, the motivating factors that one may have to exploit
vulnerabilities, and how the risks can be mitigated.
Tasks
Prepare a report for presentation to senior management to assist the team in understanding IT
security risks associated with an e-commerce model. Additionally, the senior management team
will need to use the report as guidance for determining a budget allocation for hiring new IT
professionals. Through the given scenario of UNFO, identify the weaknesses and vulnerabilities
associated with the proposed Web platform. To do so, you must:
1. Research and classify common weaknesses and attacks associated with e-
commerce and social networking applications.
2. Identify the motivation for potential attacks.
3. Identify the roles such as system administrator, developer, security engineer, and
quality assurance analyst for each classification.

"Is Your Organisation Ready For The Next Ransomware Attack?"
https://bit.ly/3tzwC6o
Please show me your output. Andrew Kelly has been employed by the We.pdf
Please show me your output. Andrew Kelly has been employed by the Wearever Tire and
Rubber Company for more than twenty-five years. Kelly is, despite his long service, only 43
years of age. He began employment in the mail room right after high school, received several
promotions, and was, at the age of 21 transferred to the credit department. Kelly has been there
ever since and is now the senior employee in the department of sixty people. Kelly is the
quintessential "valuable employee." His loyalty to the company has never wavered or been
questioned. His attendance and punctuality records are virtually without blemish. He is a
consistent worker, though, "no genius," and has efficient work habits that only years of service
bring to a man of his sort. Kelly is friendly but not gregarious. He makes no waves, and when he
sees a problem, he takes care of it without comment. Kelly was often portrayed by his
supervisors and colleagues as a "good soldier." Robert Bennington, who had been credit manager
for twenty-six years, has announced his retirement. Management is now faced with the problem
of selecting his replacement. This is no easy task since Bennington and Kelly have been good
friends for many years. The retiring manager has, as would be expected, recommended that his
friend Kelly replace him. Top management, however, long ago pegged Kelly as "not good
management material." While the people who originally rated Kelly have long since retired, the
present management simply believes Kelly is not aggressive enough to be the effective leader of
fifty-nine other workers. Moreover, a younger man with five years of experience in credit has
caught management's eye. Mike Fitzmaurice is 30 years old and "looks like management
material." Too, he outclasses Kelly in education with an accounting degree from a prominent
school of business, along with some additional work toward an MBA. From the start,
Fitzmaurice has been a Wearever "junior executive" in the company's training program. He
appears to make up for his limited experience with drive and originality. People at Wearever
seem to think he can "go far."
Top management would like to promote Fitzmaurice to the position of credit manager but fears
that the senior employee, Kelly, might be so offended that his effectiveness as a hard-working
employee would be diminished. There is also an element of management's appearing ungrateful
for Kelly's years of service. Other employees might come to believe that service counts for
nothing. Wearever, like many other large firms, has rewarded worker longevity with a package
of benefits, incentives and often promotion. The retirement of the credit manager has forced the
issue. Wearever must now decide on old reliable Kelly, or the bright newcomer Fitzmaurice.

Please show me how to do every part of this. Also could you show me .pdf
Please show me how to do every part of this. Also could you show me the circuit in Logsim. I
am having trouble with this. Thank you!
In this assignment you will translate a system description into a FSM state diagram and
then transform it into a FSM controller circuit in Logisim by utilizing a truth table and
Boolean equations.
System Description & State Diagram
First task: Transform the following system description into a FSM state diagram (you
can use any tool to create this diagram, which allows you to draw circles and connect
arrows between them; hand-drawn diagrams will not be accepted). Make sure you are
using the correct notation for the state diagram. Use the given labels for everything,
dont pick your own labels. Everything is defined and you dont have to choose your
own labels at any point during this assignment.
Use minterms for every transition event in the state diagram (each event must be a
specific configuration of all inputs) to avoid incomplete and non-exclusive transitions. If
the state does not change for certain events, make sure to model this behavior with an
appropriate transition.
This system represents a simplified version of an espresso machine, which is able to pull
an espresso (pump hot water through a portafilter), dispense hot water (pump water
through the wand) and dispense steam for steaming milk (increase heat to generate
steam and release it through the wand). The machine has just two buttons to use these
functions: An espresso pull button and a wand button. The circuit you are developing
will control the pump, the boiler temperature (lower temperature for espresso and hot
water, higher temperature for steam) and a valve that routes the boiler output between
the portafilter and the wand.
Below is the detailed system description, which will be used to create the state diagram
of this system.
The system has two 1-bit inputs:
1. Espresso Pull (label: E)
2. Wand (label: W )
The system has three 1-bit outputs:
1. Pump (label: P), which will either activate (1) or deactivate (0) the water
pump, which pumps water into the boiler
2. Boiler (label: B), which will set the boiler temperature to a low level (0) (for
brewing an espresso or dispensing hot water) or a high level (1) (for generating
steam)
3. Valve (label: V ), which will either open (1) or close (0) the valve to the wand
The system has four states: Idle in which the pump is deactivated, the heat is on
low setting and the wand valve closed; Espresso, here the pump is activated, heat
is on low and the valve closed; Water, pump is activated, heat on low and valve to
the wand is open; Steam, pump is deactivated, heat is on high to generate steam
and the wand valve is open.
The encoding of the states is as follows:
Idle: 00
Espresso: 01
Water: 10
Steam: 11
If the system is in the Idle state, it will transition into Espresso, if only the Espresso
Pull button is pressed. It will transition into Steam, if only the Wand button is
pressed. For every other button combi.

A Time of Great Risk: The Time Between Compromise and Mitigation
In most organizations today, threat detection is based on various security sensors that attempt to look for anomalous behavior or for known signatures of malicious activity. These sensors include firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS), application gateways, anti- virus/anti-malware, endpoint protection, and more. They operate at and provide visibility into all layers of the IT stack.

RE: Week 10 Discussion
· From the first e-Activity, identify one to two (1-2) potential ethical challenges that security professionals may face as technology advances, applications become more mobile, and computer criminals become more innovative. Speculate on one (1) solution that security professional could take in order to mitigate the challenge(s) in question. Justify your response.
A potential ethical challenge that security professionals may face as technology advances, applications become more mobil;e and computer criminals become more innovative is that most of the crime comes from the inside so they can cover up their tracks and know to avoid random audits. Also the ignorance of not knowing and leaving information carelessly in the wrong hands by leaving screens up without protection, losing a mobile device with links to sensitive documents, password protection and if working from home, not having enough security or backup. It is hard to speculate a solution that security professionals can take in order to migitate the challenges except to get in a routine. Like if you always lose your car keys one may get in the habit of putting them on a rack, so a routine can be innovated to boost security. As well as randomly performing audits and password changes.
· From the second e-Activity, among the three (3) definitions of cyber terrorism, give your opinion as to the one (1) definition that is the most accurate with regard to information security and infrastructure protection. Next, describe the impact that digital crimes and digital terrorism are likely to have in the future. Provide a rationale for your response.
One definition that i find is accurate is that there is no satisfactory definition because it changes and evolves. When you think of cyber crime it may start with the computer but ends in the homes and business of people. They may start with an income that is funding terrorist acts and then go to recruiting them and having the people to relocate. So it began by the computer but definitely expanded many different ways. The future will had more options and ...

Background information
In recent times, the province of security architecture has profoundly transposed by the escalation of threats targeting critical national infrastructure. The rise in such threats is directly related to the rapid integration of the infrastructures with emergent information technologies (IT). That said, it is easy to conclude that the destructive threats to the infrastructures are from cybercrime. Cybercrime manifests in several dimensions from worms, viruses to malware. It would be easy if such threats confronted quickly. However, the state of affairs is that it is not an easy endeavor at all, and hence protecting national infrastructure is even more challenging than it has ever been.Research questions
This essay answers the questions of the literature related to the emergent threats in the protection of critical national infrastructure. More also, it answers the question of the challenges involved in securing the infrastructures.Methodological approach
The study of data collection is conducted using a qualitative approach. Qualitative research is the scientific study of observations that seeks to describe, explore, explain, and diagnose phenomena by gathering non-numerical data.Data analysis and findings
It has not been easy protecting national infrastructure in the last two decades thanks to an increase in cybercrime. Public information systems are lucrative targets for hackers and other ill-motivated criminals. The state affairs have led to a conclusion that in a time in the current generation, the world is increasingly veering toward cyber warfare. The cost of cybersecurity threats is estimated to be over billions of dollars and still learning. Even with new measures, it appears the rate at which cybercriminals are expanding their technological dominion in the deep web is exceedingly strange.
Cybersecurity attacks take different dimensions. Perhaps one of the most devastating has been related to user inefficiency when handling systems. Most cybercriminal activities have shown an impeccable ability to surpass both the human and system shields that protect systems. In the dawn of the early 2000s, for example, the world was in a panic following an attack unleashed by two Philippine students. The attack, known as love bug exposed the value system behind the human-based security system. It is one of the weakness and which is solely flexible to easy manipulation. Following the love bug attack, the national intelligence system had to be switched off for several hours. The cutting-edge world has seen a multiplication in th.
For the final assessment, you will imagine you are a criminal justic
For the final assessment, you will imagine you are a criminal justice professional and apply the tools and techniques you have learned in the course to a specific scenario. Your task is to produce a polished report based on Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) that have come to your attention from different sources. The report that you produce will eventually be forwarded to an appropriate agency for additional follow-up, and your goal is to facilitate that follow-up by succinctly communicating what you know about the possible threat and what can be done to mitigate it. Your finished intelligence report should identify the type of adversary, ascertain the appropriate agency for eventual follow-up activities, assess the threat level (using an intelligence threat scale), and suggest countermeasures and information protection actions needed to address the threat.
Prompt
Imagine that you are a member of a law enforcement agency and you have received several pieces of raw intelligence from different sources (Suspicious Activities Reports or SARs), which, when taken together, point to a potential threat from a specific adversary. The SARs can be found in the Assignment Guidelines and Rubrics section of the course.
Your job is to create a clear and comprehensive report that analyzes the intelligence from the SARs in order to pass it on to the appropriate agency. You should structure your report so that the agency, in turn, can respond to the threat in a way that is effective and appropriate given what you have learned. The finished report should sort the information chronologically, funnel it down to a specific adversary, identify the potential target(s) for the adversary’s activities, assess the level of threat, and make suggestions about what can be done to counter the threat and protect critical information so that the adversary does not change the target. Because most intelligence is fragmented, you will need to read all of the SARs carefully in order to gather the necessary information for the finished intelligence report. Remember to use direct language and employ criminal justice terminology appropriate for the type of threat being assessed and the receiving agency. Accuracy and appropriate grammar are also essential for the report’s credibility.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I.
Executive Summary
In this section, you should accurately highlight the essential elements of the intelligence report for quick reference by the agency receiving the report. You should include the name of referring agent (your name), the name of the agency that you are imagining you work for, the current date, dates of the activities being covered in the intelligence report, and a brief summary (two to three sentences) on the adversary, scope, and nature of the potential threat. Although this is the opening section of the report, you may wish to complete it last in order to accurately capture the analysis of the body of yo ...

Project 4: Threat Analysis and Exploitation
Transcript (background):
You are part of a collaborative team that was created to address cyber threats and exploitation of US financial systems critical infrastructure. Your team has been assembled by the White House Cyber National security staff to provide situational awareness about a current network breach and cyber attack against several financial service institutions. Your team consists of four roles, a representative from the financial services sector who has discovered the network breach and the cyber attacks. These attacks include distributed denial of service attacks, DDOS, web defacements, sensitive data exfiltration, and other attack vectors typical of this nation state actor. A representative from law enforcement who has provided additional evidence of network attacks found using network defense tools. A representative from the intelligence agency who has identified the nation state actor from numerous public and government provided threat intelligence reports. This representative will provide threat intelligence on the tools, techniques, and procedures of this nation state actor. A representative from the Department of Homeland Security who will provide the risk, response, and recovery actions taken as a result of this cyber threat. Your team will have to provide education and security awareness to the financial services sector about the threats, vulnerabilities, risks, and risk mitigation and remediation procedures to be implemented to maintain a robust security posture. Finally, your team will take the lessons learned from this cyber incident and share that knowledge with the rest of the cyber threat analysis community. At the end of the response to this cyber incident, your team will provide two deliverables, a situational analysis report, or SAR, to the White House Cyber National security staff and an After Action Report and lesson learned to the cyber threat analyst community.
Step 2: Assessing Suspicious Activity
Your team is assembled and you have a plan. It's time to get to work. You have a suite of tools at your disposal from your work in Project 1, Project 2, and Project 3, which can be used together to create a full common operating picture of the cyber threats and vulnerabilities that are facing the US critical infrastructure.
To be completed by all team members: Leverage the network security skills of using port scans, network scanning tools, and analyzing Wireshark files, to assess any suspicious network activity and network vulnerabilities.
Step 3: The Financial Sector
To be completed by the Financial Services Representative: Provide a description of the impact the threat would have on the financial services sector. These impact statements can include the loss of control of the systems, the loss of data integrity or confidentiality, exfiltration of data, or something else. Also provide impact assessments as a result of this security incident to the financial ...

Please show me your output. Andrew Kelly has been employed by the We.pdf
Please show me your output. Andrew Kelly has been employed by the Wearever Tire and
Rubber Company for more than twenty-five years. Kelly is, despite his long service, only 43
years of age. He began employment in the mail room right after high school, received several
promotions, and was, at the age of 21 transferred to the credit department. Kelly has been there
ever since and is now the senior employee in the department of sixty people. Kelly is the
quintessential "valuable employee." His loyalty to the company has never wavered or been
questioned. His attendance and punctuality records are virtually without blemish. He is a
consistent worker, though, "no genius," and has efficient work habits that only years of service
bring to a man of his sort. Kelly is friendly but not gregarious. He makes no waves, and when he
sees a problem, he takes care of it without comment. Kelly was often portrayed by his
supervisors and colleagues as a "good soldier." Robert Bennington, who had been credit manager
for twenty-six years, has announced his retirement. Management is now faced with the problem
of selecting his replacement. This is no easy task since Bennington and Kelly have been good
friends for many years. The retiring manager has, as would be expected, recommended that his
friend Kelly replace him. Top management, however, long ago pegged Kelly as "not good
management material." While the people who originally rated Kelly have long since retired, the
present management simply believes Kelly is not aggressive enough to be the effective leader of
fifty-nine other workers. Moreover, a younger man with five years of experience in credit has
caught management's eye. Mike Fitzmaurice is 30 years old and "looks like management
material." Too, he outclasses Kelly in education with an accounting degree from a prominent
school of business, along with some additional work toward an MBA. From the start,
Fitzmaurice has been a Wearever "junior executive" in the company's training program. He
appears to make up for his limited experience with drive and originality. People at Wearever
seem to think he can "go far."
Top management would like to promote Fitzmaurice to the position of credit manager but fears
that the senior employee, Kelly, might be so offended that his effectiveness as a hard-working
employee would be diminished. There is also an element of management's appearing ungrateful
for Kelly's years of service. Other employees might come to believe that service counts for
nothing. Wearever, like many other large firms, has rewarded worker longevity with a package
of benefits, incentives and often promotion. The retirement of the credit manager has forced the
issue. Wearever must now decide on old reliable Kelly, or the bright newcomer Fitzmaurice.

Please show me how to do every part of this. Also could you show me .pdf
Please show me how to do every part of this. Also could you show me the circuit in Logsim. I
am having trouble with this. Thank you!
In this assignment you will translate a system description into a FSM state diagram and
then transform it into a FSM controller circuit in Logisim by utilizing a truth table and
Boolean equations.
System Description & State Diagram
First task: Transform the following system description into a FSM state diagram (you
can use any tool to create this diagram, which allows you to draw circles and connect
arrows between them; hand-drawn diagrams will not be accepted). Make sure you are
using the correct notation for the state diagram. Use the given labels for everything,
dont pick your own labels. Everything is defined and you dont have to choose your
own labels at any point during this assignment.
Use minterms for every transition event in the state diagram (each event must be a
specific configuration of all inputs) to avoid incomplete and non-exclusive transitions. If
the state does not change for certain events, make sure to model this behavior with an
appropriate transition.
This system represents a simplified version of an espresso machine, which is able to pull
an espresso (pump hot water through a portafilter), dispense hot water (pump water
through the wand) and dispense steam for steaming milk (increase heat to generate
steam and release it through the wand). The machine has just two buttons to use these
functions: An espresso pull button and a wand button. The circuit you are developing
will control the pump, the boiler temperature (lower temperature for espresso and hot
water, higher temperature for steam) and a valve that routes the boiler output between
the portafilter and the wand.
Below is the detailed system description, which will be used to create the state diagram
of this system.
The system has two 1-bit inputs:
1. Espresso Pull (label: E)
2. Wand (label: W )
The system has three 1-bit outputs:
1. Pump (label: P), which will either activate (1) or deactivate (0) the water
pump, which pumps water into the boiler
2. Boiler (label: B), which will set the boiler temperature to a low level (0) (for
brewing an espresso or dispensing hot water) or a high level (1) (for generating
steam)
3. Valve (label: V ), which will either open (1) or close (0) the valve to the wand
The system has four states: Idle in which the pump is deactivated, the heat is on
low setting and the wand valve closed; Espresso, here the pump is activated, heat
is on low and the valve closed; Water, pump is activated, heat on low and valve to
the wand is open; Steam, pump is deactivated, heat is on high to generate steam
and the wand valve is open.
The encoding of the states is as follows:
Idle: 00
Espresso: 01
Water: 10
Steam: 11
If the system is in the Idle state, it will transition into Espresso, if only the Espresso
Pull button is pressed. It will transition into Steam, if only the Wand button is
pressed. For every other button combi.
Please help with the below 3 questions, the python script is at the.pdf
Please help with the below 3 questions, the python script is at the bottom, I cannot get it to work
correctly please indicate where the error is. Thanks
Question-01: Approximately how much longer does it take to do a round-trip ping from/to a
remote machine than from/to localhost? (Note, answers may vary if you are doing the
experiment from your home or from the CS building itself and whether the destination is in
North America or some other continent).
Question-02: Currently, the program calculates the round-trip time for each packet and prints it
out individually. Modify this to correspond to the way the standard ping program works. You
will need to report the minimum, maximum, and average RTTs at the end of all pings from the
client. In addition, calculate the packet loss rate (in percentage).
Question-03: Your program can only detect timeouts in receiving ICMP echo responses. Modify
the Pinger program to parse the ICMP response error codes and display the corresponding error
results to the user. Examples of ICMP response error codes are 0: Destination Network
Unreachable, 1: Destination Host Unreachable.
In this lab, you will gain a better understanding of Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP).
You will learn to implement a Ping application using ICMP request and reply messages. Ping is
a computer network application used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP
network. It is also used to self-test the network interface card of the computer or as a latency test.
It works by sending ICMP echo reply packets to the target host and listening for ICMP echo
reply replies. The "echo reply" is sometimes called a pong. Ping measures the round-trip time,
records packet loss, and prints a statistical summary of the echo reply packets received (the
minimum, maximum, and the mean of the round-trip times and in some versions the standard
deviation of the mean).
Your task is to develop your own Ping application in Python. Your application will use ICMP
but, in order to keep it simple, will not exactly follow the official specification in RFC 1739.
Note that you will only need to write the client side of the program, as the functionality needed
on the server side is built into almost all operating systems. You should complete the Ping
application so that it sends ping requests to a specified host separated by approximately one
second. Each message contains a payload of data that includes a timestamp. After sending each
packet, the application waits up to one second to receive a reply. If one second goes by without a
reply from the server, then the client assumes that either the ping packet or the pong packet was
lost in the network (or that the server is down).
This lab requires you to compose new python code. A skeleton framework is given, you will
need to fill in the blanks.
This lab will require you to build and/or decode a packed binary array of data that is specified by
the ICMP protocol. To assist you, the ICMP protocol speci.

Some guidelines for your code - Enums- When you have different types of an entity, you might
want to create a single class and represent different types using Enums. - Inheritance - Entities
that have similar types can be divided into parent and child classes using inheritance. You should
write down the common functionality in the parent class and override or add different
functionality as per specifications in child classes. - Interfaces - Interfaces help you define the
contracts/functionality that a class should follow. When you want to use same method in
different classes which are unrelated, use interfaces. When you have same functionality in
similar classes use inheritance. - Polymorphism - Sometimes same method may have different
functionality based on different parameters/data. You must use polymorphism in that case. -
Generics - You may or may not use Generics to handle some common functionality between
different classes. - Exception Handing - There are various kinds of exceptions present in the
specifications. Try and implement the exceptions the right way. - File Handling - You may want
to create different classes or interfaces for classes handling file read/write. Make sure to catch the
exceptions that occurs with File Handling. - Collections - Collections are great way to store data
in a compact manner. Use ArrayList instead of Arrays. Make use of HashMaps if necessary. -
Encapsulation - It is important you write the right method in the right classes. This gains you
marks. Encapsulate the data properties and action taken on them in a class. - Make things private
where necessary. If inheritance is used, make things protected. Only getters/setters and methods
should be public wherever needed. - Packages - similar classes are packaged together. For eg -
you can package interfaces together or enums together in a package.
Entities To understand the mission better, let's look at the entities. Once we have.

/*****************************************************************************

* DIAMONDS
* author(s):
* adapted from:
* other citations:
*
* goal: Output a diamond of user determined size must use a 2D array.
* example: for input of 5 ..*.. or 6 ../\..
* .***. .//\\.
* ***** ///\\\
* .***. \\\///
* ..*.. .\\//.
* ..\/..
* overview: (1) get user input & validate (i.e. less than screen size)
* (2) determine even/odd and how to proceed
* (3) create & fill array accordingly
* (4) output to screen
*
*
* stages: (1) hard-coded 5x5 diamond - output to screen
* must use given function def - passes in one row at a time
* (2) Do odd number case only in this stage - subtract 1 from any even #
* get width of diamond from user (use same number for height)
* create a 2D array of that size and fill with the background char
* must use given function defs - passes in one row at a time
* (3) Now we overload fillArray - don't duplicate code. If the same code
* is being run then one fillArray function should call the other
* Add in the diamond forming character (the MAIN_CHAR)
* This stage should complete the odd case
* (4) Using the same functions as the previous case, do the even case
*
*
*****************************************************************************
***/
#include
using namespace std;
const unsigned int max_width = 120;
char background_char = '.';
char main_char = '*';
char main_char_left = '/';
char main_char_right = '\\';
/* function prototype declarations (defined below in same file) */
void printArray (const char chArray[], const unsigned int width) {
for (unsigned int i = 0; i < width; i++) {
cout << chArray[i];
}

int main()
{
/* variables */
/* declare and initialize an array */

printArray(diamond[i], 5);
cout << endl;
}
When input 10:
When input 40:
When input 4000:
In this stage we will complete the odd-number input case, adding stars to create the diamond. So
if the user enters 15 , the program should output: To do this, we will overload the fillarray()
function. The following function definition is required: void fillarray (char fill, char chArray[],
unsigned int start, unsigned int end); where fillArray would fill the indices from start to end-1
(not including end). When overloading, we should not be duplicating code. It is likely that the
efficient way to overload is for one of the fillArray () functions to call the other. Everything else
would work the same as in Part II.
Expected output Enter width of diamond: Error! Max width is 120 . Exiting.
Enter width of diamond: ...***... .. kk. . . . . .

Part 1 During the most recent economic crisis in the state of Arizo.pdf
Part 1: During the most recent economic crisis in the state of Arizona, home values decreased
dramatically and homeowners began walking away from their homes in large numbers. This was
largely due to the fact that they owned more on the home than it was worth and in many cases
they could no longer afford to make the payments. Financial institutions foreclosed on large
numbers of homes and forced the owners to leave. As they left their real property homeowners
ofter stripped the home of anything valuable they could remove. Homeowners took appliances,
window coverings, light fixtures, ceiling fans, water heaters, rugs and carpets,plumbing fixtures
(toilets, sinks, showers, bathtubs etc.) electrical wiring, doors, cabinets and sometimes even
windows and outdoor plants from property they no longer owned.
Given the understanding that many of these things qualify as "fixtures" that are attached and
should remain with real property (the home), discuss in an original post whether or not you think
their decision to remove these items is ethical (or even legal?) How do you think some of these
people justified taking these items? Do you agree or disagree with that reasoning? Should the
financial institutions have pursued legal action against these people?
Part 2:
Recently Martin Shkreli (Pharma Bro on social media) a former pharmaceutical CEO was
convicted of securities fraud in the State of New York. Many claim that it was really his
personality that people did not like and that he did nothing wrong. Read this article from the
Chicago TribuneLinks to an external site. and watch this CNBCLinks to an external site. video
interview with Martin Shkreli included with the article about the case and discuss with your
classmates in an original post your opinion of the case. What do you think about his decision to
dramatically raise the price of a drug used to treat HIV? Is he a "pariah" or just a good
businessman? What do you think about the claims he was running a Ponzi scheme? Do you
think if he had not raised the price of the drug, the securities allegations may never have been
made? After all, there are investors who made money through his company..

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Research Topic: Ransomware attack on k-12 schools (2013-present) BLUF Statement: The persistent surge in ransomware attacks targeting K-12 schools underscores the urgent need for enhanced cybersecurity measures, as a failure to address this issue will likely lead to disruptions of education and compromised student data, endangering the future of our education system. Scope Note: This research paper will provide a comprehensive overview of ransomware attacks on K-12 schools to address the alarming rise in ransomware attacks from 2013 to present. The paper will focus on the frequency, vulnerabilities, evolving tactics, consequences, and significance of these attacks, as well as the need for proactive cybersecurity measures. It will not address ransomware incidents in other sectors or provide an extensive historical overview of ransomware. This work will build on previous research on ransomware attacks on K-12 schools, but it takes a new approach by focusing on five key points. The information will be current as of September 30, 2023. Based on the information, answer the following: Treat something about your chosen term paper assignment as a High Impact Low Probability (black swan) event. Think of your event and then think of what black swan event could come next (but has not happened, yet). You must: Define 2 pathways Identify 3 trigger points/changes in momentum for each of the 2 pathways Identify 2 observables for each of the 6 trigger points Identify 2 factors to deflect each of the 6 trigger points. Briefly explain everything! Examples of what your High Impact Low Probability event could be: the malicious actors behind your event committing a radically different TTP, such as hacktivists using multiple 0days in one attack or a ransomware gang switching to stealing files for espionage purposes; the TTP changes in a radical way, such as the ransomware actors suddenly switching back to opportunistic targeting with low ransoms against many victims; a new leak of information for a clearly different purposes, such as journalists receiving a large dump of files that
- 2. expose ransomware gangs instead of political/financial crimes; or information that indicates country 1 was using denial and deception techniques to make it look like country 2 was behind your incident but it was really country 1 all along. High Impact Low Probability Analysis Highlights a seemingly unlikely event that would have major policy consequences if it happened. Use when its unlikely but would have substantial impact if it happened Use when there are concerns that policymakers and decision makers are ignoring the consequences of a potential event they should be concerned about Help uncover hidden relationships and key factors Identify oversights in the mainstream analytic line Periodic review helps counter prevailing mind-set errors High Impact Low Probability Analysis 1. Define the outcome (consequences) 2. Define pathways to the event as precisely as possible 3. Identify trigger points or changes in momentum 4. Identify key observables for each pathway 5. Identify factors to deflect the outcome/encourage a positive outcome Please answer right and well enough to get the point across. Please no plagiarism. Thank you!
