Introduction

While information warfare has been around since the first armies discovered the importance of gathering and using information to gain an advantage over an opponent, its incorporation of cyberterrorism methods is a completely new development. The basic model consists of an attack against an opponent’s information infrastructure, such as a computer network, to intimidate or threaten in furtherance of a political or social objective. Ostensibly, the attack is committed by a terrorist group of their own accord but the reality is that the group is sponsored, equipped or otherwise assisted by a nation-state who cannot directly initiate the attack due to legal or ...

My risk attitude is risking. Risk seeking is the ability of an investor to invest in a risky venture so as to know what is brings at the end of it all.

The SQL injection (SQLi) is one of the most common threats to contemporary computer security. It is also one of the most successful threats because it is easy to execute and moderately hard to detect and prevent, so the success rates are high and the damaged caused by the attack is severe. Furthermore, there are no tools that can accurately detect and stop specific SQLi attacks, so developers are required to analyze the source code and resort to code-based defense strategies if they want to prevent unauthorized access to data. In the worst case scenario, an attacker can take ...

Computer networks and the internet have radically altered the way we live and conduct business. Integrated information systems based on vast networks make up the center of operation for current business environments and governmental operations. Governments such as the United States and Canada hold sensitive information about its citizens in such computer networks. Businesses rely on networks in order to perform business transactions that use electronic transfer of money in a new business paradigm referred to as E-commerce. However, as these systems are efficient and effective in management, they present the most vulnerable systems to security breaches.

Hacking is a systematic process that begins with the first phase of reconnaissance or footprinting. The primary goal of this step is to obtain information that will be useful in the consequent phases. The stage can be subdivided into two; passive reconnaissance that involves information gathering through means such as social engineering, dumpster diving, and network sniffing. The second is active reconnaissance or doorknob rattling that requires probing the system for IP address, services on the network and to discover individual hosts. The second phase of the methodology is the scanning phase. The phase involves taking the information gained in ...

Information is power, and this is what makes hacking be very valuable in most instances if not all of them. People hack for different reasons; for fun because one can do it or the intention of using the information to achieve a goal, good or bad.

Abstract.

Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition systems (SCADA) are a subset of Industrial Control Systems (ICS), and they are used to automate the control and monitoring of processes and sets of processes. Such processes include industrial production lines, power grids, rail switching and other critical infrastructure. Traditionally, these systems were isolated and thus secure from cyber-attacks. However, modernization has led to increased complexity, interconnectivity, and digitization. In this regard, today's SCADA systems need to communicate and transfer data from one site to another via communication networks that are at times public e.g. The internet. This development has created security vulnerabilities for ...

Introduction

Contemporary studies view parties as alliances of politicians whose ultimate objective is to win electoral office. Parties make promises on behalf of their candidates about what they will do if elected, and help improve chances of reelection for incumbents through their records of implementing their programs (Bawn et al. 571). It is plain to see how these parties might serve democracy. Citizens can give more effective direction to government by voting for a party instead of an individual. They create an incentive for responsible governance by holding an entire party rather than a single politician accountable for government actions (Bawn et ...
