Question #1:

The purpose for a hacker to conceal their tracks in the hacking process is to avoid discovery of their actions by the officials such as the FBI. I believe the repercussions for a hacker who doesn’t adequately covers their tracks, eventually resulting in discovery by the government officials includes: jail time, felony records, and heavy fines. I also believe that if a hacker is prosecuted for hacking activities, they will have a criminal record which will follow them throughout their life which could prevent them from obtaining other opportunities such as certain jobs.

Question #2:

One of Dickinson’s poems involving nature is “A Bird Came Down the Walk-.” It is this poem that will be discussed here. Dickinson’s poetry is of a personal quality, not only to the poet, but ...

In our daily encounters, we have realized that revolts against the authority are here to stay. Revolting occurs due to uncertainties or even incites from iconic figures in a multitude. There is a need for people to evaluate their reasons for revolt before making the decision to protest. Mikhail Bakunin contends, “To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt” (Vincent 247). The public has conflicted with the temples ...

There is increasing, and well-founded, concerns that the threats of possible terror attacks no longer require physical contact to execute because societies in the twenty-first century have become entirely reliant on computer systems and information technology. Subsequently, as the global environment continues to grow and root itself in the lives of people from the personal to national levels, there is the possibility of similar technological advances being the next weapon that terrorists will use against their targets. Now, the utilization of computer networks has proven particularly advantageous by turning the world into a global village and aiding its economy ...

Netsky and Sasser Worms

The earlier versions of the Windows operating contained several network-based vulnerabilities. On many occasions in the 2000s malicious scripting programs commonly known as worms exploited these vulnerabilities. The most prolific of these worms were Netsky and Sasser Worms. Although these worms were differently functioned, their basic structure was the same. Evidently, both worms shared the same creator in Sven Jaschan. The Netsky worm’s distribution depended on email communications. It was an attachment will be active if opened. Once opened, it would search all the email addresses and dispatch copies of itself to all the addresses. The damage was ...

How does a Worm Propagate

Worms are a program that takes advantage of the defenselessness of applications to propagate. Since their propagation behavior is exponential, usually, detection comes when it has already spread on different parts of the world. Its major characteristics are it is self-propagating making it distinct from a virus, self-replicating and usually propagates across network connections (Stallings, 2011). Because of the considerably short life-span, worm writes focus on ensuring fast propagation and maximizing connection speeds on a network. Among the several documented worm propagation behaviors documented before that led to the generalization of their behaviors are the Code Red worms and Slammers. Worms ...
