...Hi my name is Vivian Barajas. Have you ever asked yourself what does it take to be hero? You might be thinking a hero is Superman or Hulk, but heroes can be anywhere and can be anyone. What exactly is a hero? Well, a hero is a person with strength, courage, and bravery. Heros fight for what is right. Heroes come in many shapes and sizes. Anyone can be a Hero in their own way, and it’s true anyone can be a Hero. One example are the firemen, I know it's just a job, but why did they pick that job? Why? Because they want to make a difference. They want to help everyone. Firefighters can risk their lives just to save someone in a terrible accident. A country can also be a Hero, right now Paris is opening up to people who don't have a home...

...Los Niño’s Heroes Courage is to have the self-fortitude to stand up for what is right. Putting your needs aside and helping for the greater cause. In order to cross a threshold one has to have self- courage along with determination and motivation, following through regardless of the results. Los Niño’s Heroes (The Heroic Children) are a piece of Mexican History that stands out. The date was September 13, 1847 six brave young men fought valiantly for their country during the Mexican-American War. Tragically, they died defending the honor of their country. The ages of these six young men ranged from 13 to 19 years of age. The Mexican-American war was in its final chapter when the Battle of Chapultepec took place. Years preceding the war, Chapultepec Castle had been utilized as Mexico’s military training academy. When the war broke out there were dozens of teenage cadets in attendance. General Nicolas Bravo who was the commander of the forces stationed at Chapultepec Hill apparently saw that the American Forces were quickly advancing and triumphing, so he ordered his men, including the cadets to retreat to safety. The six young men, however, refused to leave their post and bravely meet the superior forces of the Americans. At that point in time is where you see all six of them pass that threshold of, “I must defend my country, my country needs me!” Without a second thought they threw themselves into a battle that they did not need to fight. Never the less, they were...

...The anti-hero narrative in television has been a major success in recent years. Shows like Dexter (2006-2013), Mad Men (2007-2015), and Breaking Bad(2008-2013) all feature the anti-hero and have been critically acclaimed and loved by viewers in America. Each of these T.V. shows’ success has been measured by user reviews, user ratings, Golden Globe awards and/or nominations, and Emmy awards and/or nominations. By definition, the anti-hero is a central character in a story, movie, or drama who lacks conventional heroic attributes. (Oxford Dictionaries) How then has this hero without heroic attributes been so popular in our culture? The anti-hero has been popular in recent years because viewers can relate to him, are able to perform moral disengagement to enjoy the story, and believe that there is a chance of redemption for him. Audiences love the anti-hero because the writers have created a character that they can relate to and sympathize with. The anti-hero character creates a strong bond with the audience that lets them experience life from their point of view. They are depicted as flawed like everyone else, unlike the traditional hero, who seems more perfect. This initial bond of sympathy for the character keeps the audience interested. In Dexter, the audience can relate to the anti-hero because he appears to be a normal middle aged guy that ends up as a typical family man. When he and his first wife take the step of moving in together he experiences anxiety and doubt...

...An anti hero is someone who is not a hero in nature, they are not any way a vigilante and usually only react, not act. Their own traits come in as a hindrance, leading to their death, or a help in an ironic way. In many stories a character can show many characteristics of an anti hero, but there are usually a couple that stand out. In Orwell’s novel 1984, Winston is an anti hero archetype because of his poor physical state, and his pusillanimous nature. To begin with, his poor physical condition comes to bite him many times in this story. Winston is an average guy who drinks, smokes and sits in an office all day. He sounds like an old uncle and one of the first lines in the story states, ¨Winston, who was thirty-nine and had a varicose ulcer above his right ankle, went slowly up the landings, resting several times on the way.¨ Winston gives off the image that he won't be the action hero we hoped for, but it makes him more relatable this way. He hates working out, likes to write and has coughing fits. Another quote even says that ¨Winston’s greatest pleasure in life was in his work,¨ so we know that we are going to be on a roller coaster of excitement and view the life of a man who sits behind a desk. Secondly, his cowardly demeanor causes him to step back instead of taking action. He didn't take the first step in a relationship and with Julia, and then watches her get beat mercilessly, so he doesn't get hurt. ¨ Winston dared not turn his head even by a millimetre, but sometimes...

...Most if not all, I believe, are familiar with the saying, “All good things must come to an end.” Human nature would cause us to frown when something good finally ends. But I remember an author say, “Every ending is also a beginning. We just don’t know it at the time.” It is with great privilege, that I lead this turnover ceremony, filled not with sadness for the ending of my term, nor with regrets for the things I have failed to do in my position, but only hopeful of the next and many other generations of leaders to come. I would like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow students for entrusting me to your care. I thank the teachers for the utmost support and guidance for the past year. Surely, the successes of the student council government are not only to the merit of the members, but also to all of you. I understand that a year of leadership could never be enough to address every student’s concern. As I turnover this Key of Responsibility, I also am turning over the many student issues and concerns that I have failed to address before. Receive this key and do not deem this as a burden or a cross to carry, for leadership is a privilege of the few. But remember, that it is a privilege that will cause you hardships; it is not for the faint of heart. Contrary to what you may see, the real key of responsibility is intangible. It is not a mere prop to accessorize this program. Therefore, to the next leaders and members of the Student Council Government 2016-2017, take...

...Brief Introduction Computer hacking is pervading whole world nowadays. Since 1986 the hacker Manifesto was published, computer security has become a panic situation. Computer hacking will influence many situations by using a variety of ways, especially business. The effect of hacking is the problem that we can’t look it down. The effects of computer hacking Huge costs When a company hacked by someone, they need to spent money to improved the security and compensated the lost of company after hacked. According to BBC in 2004, computer hacking cost companies in the United Kingdom billions of pounds. In 2011, a single instance of hacking on the Play Station cost Sony more than $170 million. Also, Google lost $ 500,000 because of hacking in 2005. As we can see, computer hacking will affects the finance in companies. Lost information In 2002, a hacker who is come from London was hacking the computer system of United Stated Military. In 2011, Korea Communications Commission announced the hackers were hacking a website and a blogger that the leaks of user’s personal information have reach up to 3.5 billion. So, computer hacking often revolves around information. Some organization can use computer hacking to get lots of information and gain lots of profit. Security improving An organization has to get an opportunity to improve security after hacked by someone. The IT team in this organization will find out the virus and make the system stronger and prevent the hackers...

...IPad’s Security Breach Apple successfully sold its first iPad on June 4th, 2010 and within days a security breach was announced. Hackers from Goatse Security firm tracked down about a 100,000 email ids of new iPad owners which included government officials, politicians, journalists, and other important famous people (IPad Security Breach, 2010). The question now arises is that what are the reasons that forced Goatse Firm from hacking into AT&T’s website? Goatse Security officials shared the email addresses and network ID’s to Gawker Media, LLC, after they informed AT&T and the vulnerability was closed (IPad Security Breach, 2010). Some expressed little concern over the security breach stating that it was “only email addresses” and not personal or financial information. The FBI doesn’t concur. AT&T responded quickly and has worked to mitigate the damage (FBI Investigating iPad Breach, 2010). Goatse’s Firm Objectives The following objectives might help us explain the possible factors that lead to the hacking of the AT&T’s website (Elinor, 2010). • The Goatse Security tricked the AT&T site into disclosing the e-mail addresses by sending HTTP (Hyper text transport protocol) requests that included SIM card serial numbers for iPads. This was because it contained serial numbers called ICC-IDs (Integrated circuit card identifiers) that are generated sequentially which helped the researchers to track down 1000’s of ids. • According to the AT&T spokesman the attack would allow...

...Mashell Chapeyama Ethics and social responsibility Topic: Ethics and hacking Year 2012 Level: Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Key words: computer hacking, ethics Hacking In this discussion I will talk of hacking as it relates to computers and technology. The term hacking and the practice of hacking originated at Massachusetts institute of Technology (MIT). In this regard, hacking dealt with exploration of equipment and infrastructure, for the love of exploration or for learning or showing one’s cleverness. The students and other intellectuals wanted to learn more about things; they wanted to find ways of solving some problems or challenges which they found in life. So they became more devoted to this practice of exploring things, especially in areas which they had a lot of experience and expertise. The hackers experimented with computers and they even experimented with building or other infrastructural components. May people agree that it is very difficult to come up with a concise definition of hacking. However from my reading the simplest interpretation of hacking is that it is the act of observing some weakness in systems and finding ways to overcome such problems or challenges. A computer hacker in this respect would mean a person who has skills in computers who want to identify some problems and weaknesses in the computer system and then devise solution to such problems, for the purpose of learning or just challenging the existing system. The...

...The Cuckoo’s Egg by Cliff Stoll, is a fascinating book that shows that truth is really stranger than fiction. When reading this book I found myself wondering the same things that Cliff did and felt the same frustration and excitement the chase must have brought to him. What does a cuckoo’s egg have to do with computers? How does a $0.75 accounting discrepancy lead to the KGB? And I asked myself how does an astronomer turned systems manager catch a computer hacker? When Cliff was transferred to the Lawrence Berkley Lab computer lab he had no idea that there was a cuckoo’s egg hiding in his nest (network) that would eventually hatch not just in his computers but into a cat and mouse chase that would lead from Berkley to Virgina to Mitre (a Network Service Contractor) to numerous military bases not just in the United states, but around the world, to eventually Hannover, Germany and consume most of his life for over a year. His live in girlfriend and eventually wife Martha a Law student at Berkley, had her own frustrations along the way when Cliff’s obsession with the hacker by way of a Cliff’s overnight campouts under his desk and a pager set to transmit Morse code that invaded their home, special occasions, bedroom, and even shower. This hacker used many names Svetek, Hunter, and numerous others that were either stolen by way of a program planted by the hacker or new users the hacker created after aquiring systems privileges. The passwords he used for these new accounts...

...Wikileaks and Hacktivist Culture Summary Lately there has been impressive talk about the Wikileaks phenomenon, and justifiably along these lines, given the volume and affectability of the reports the site has discharged. What this exchange has uncovered, notwithstanding, is that the media and government orgs accept there is a solitary hero to be concerned with—something of a James Bond reprobate, in the event that you will—when truth be told the hero is something by and large diverse: a casual system of revolutionary people bound by an imparted ethic and society. Consistent with standard way of thinking, the charged hero is, obviously, Wikileaks originator Julian Assange, and the exchange of him has run from Raffi Khatchadourian's June picture in The New Yorker, which makes Assange resemble an expert spy in a John le Carré novel, to Tunku Varadarajan's epic muckraking bloviation in The Daily Beast: "With his bloodless, pallid face, his thin hair emptied of all shade, his languorous, exceptionally un-Australian appendages, and his atmosphere of blinding whiteness that seems to concede no subtlety, Assange looks every last bit the flippant, uber-geek blackguard." Some have gotten for making Assange bankrupt" (regardless of the fact that we must maltreat universal law to do it), while others, going from Daniel Ellsberg to Assange himself, suppose he is (in Ellsberg's statements) "in some threat." I don't question that Assange is in peril, yet regardless of the possibility...

...Cybercrimes can be committed over the internet, the telephone, or a mobile network. Many government agencies, state agencies, businesses, schools, and other entities rely on the internet for day to day business practices. Then there are others who use the internet for individual use while others use the internet for criminal purposes. There are many different words for crime over the net, which include cybercrime, computer crime, e-crime, hi-tech crime and electronic crime. These words usually refer to criminal activity in which a computer or a network is the source, object, tool, or place of a crime. This is a list of things that I believe can be done to help protect yourself from hackers. 1. Tough passwords 2. Two-Part Authentication 3. Change Your Behavior 4. Consolidation 5. Back It Up A computer is frequently used for private information that requires a password to access. Online accounts that require passwords can be at risk, especially in places where financial information is stored. Generally passwords with easily identifiable information, such as names and birthdays, should be avoided. Instead, people can protect against computer hackers by using a mix of numbers and letters in combinations that would be difficult for a hacker to figure out. When you log on to many different computers, especially shared computers to access your email account, you are especially vulnerable to hackers. Many websites are moving toward two-step verification.

...Reconnaissance is the initial step in hacking an information system is to collect as much information as you can. You may start with domain name, from there try to obtain an IP address to open ports, then try to see what operating system is running, and finally see what applications are running and what versions of software are being used to run that system. Scanning is when you use information gathered in the reconnaissance step to detect vulnerabilities of the targeted system in order to deploy hacking tools. It is common practice that attacker will use automated or semi-automated tools to conduct security surveys and to generate reports of security-related vulnerabilities. Gaining Access phase is where the actual hacking takes place. Vulnerabilities that were discovered during the reconnaissance and scanning phase are now exploited to gain access. The method of how the hacker was able to exploit a connection can be a local area network (LAN, either wired or wireless), local access to a PC, the Internet, or offline. In Maintaining Access Phase a hacker has already gained access, and wants to maintain that access for future exploitation and attacks. Hackers sometimes harden a system in order to keep other hackers or security personnel out by securing their exclusive access with backdoors, rootkits, and Trojans. Once the hacker owns the system, they can use it as a base to launch additional attacks. Covering Tracks Phase is where the hackers have been able to gain...
