...afraid of, but in the hands of hackers they are something to be aware of because they have the ability to provide relevant information to a potential attacker. Ping sweeps and port scans will probably be the first steps of the attack because they provide the potential attacker a lot about our network as well as services, and open ports, on a computer system or our network. Ping sweep would be the first tool an attacker would take when he chooses to target our company’s computer systems. It is made up of a series of ICMP echo requests sent to a range of IP addresses to determine which IPs are in use by a host. A ping sweep is a valuable tool that can provide an attacker with a network map of all devices on the network, including hosts, routers, and other networked devices. With this information an attacker can establish an attack plan on network servers and hosts or can be used just to clog up the network. With the appropriate firewall in place protecting the network from pings outside of the LAN, then we can eliminate these types of ping sweeps. However a ping sweep can be done if the attacker has access to the LAN that is being targeted. The second tool of a targeted attack is a port scan. Once an attacker has compiled a map of a network, attacks can begin on the various servers and hosts within our network. A port scan can tell the attacker about the services and applications running on that...

...An attack can be defined as a violent and aggressive action against a person or place. In past years, there has been a number of devastating and highly influential attacks on the United States. Being the country that we live in, these assailments should not and do not go unnoticed or swept under the rug. As it is the government’s job to protect and make the decisions of our country, they are also responsible for taking immediate action when the United States is under disorder. As evident in numerous instances, defending America has always been the top priority of our military and government. As a result, Americans retaliate against their attackers, which consequently lead to a very costly operation. However, despite the costs of these attacks, the government should definitely continue the tradition of defending the country by fighting against our attackers, such as the way they did in the incident of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the airplane crash into the World Trade Center. On December 7, 1941, a United States naval base on Pearl Harbor underwent a surprise military attack by the Japanese Navy. This assault left more than 3,000 Americans wounded or even dead. This brutal action from the Japanese shocked many people of the United States. Although the country was once one that fought for isolationism and neutrality, this event at Pearl Harbor swayed the opinions of many. It not only caused the United States to declare war the next day, but also directly led America into...

...Potential Malicious Attacks, Threats and Vulnerabilities Joseph Escueta Strayer University CIS 333 Dr. Emmanuel Nyeanchi January 30, 2014 Abstract The world of any organization lays a network structure that controls all the operations of the company. Every company has its own sensitive information about their success and why they such a good reputation. Because of the growing technology various enchantments have been develop to make sure that its investments are secured and locked hidden in its networks. However network attacks have been around for decades and each new security can be breach. This is one of the major causes of any company to lose money or its capital after being attack by network attackers. It is proven to be a nuisance for any organization trying to make a living. However, this attacks can be avoided if one should take precautions and to be aware of the network attacks. In this case study I will identify its causes and threats against the network. I will also expose the vulnerabilities that exist in networks today. Identifying Potential Malicious Attacks, threats and Vulnerabilities There are many attacks in the network but the most important purpose is to protect the company’s assets. We are not taking about average hackers who just do it for fun but rather want to cause damage to a company’s reputation. In a network security there are two important categories which is logic attacks and resource attacks. A logic attack usually involves websites...

...INTRODUCTION It is the summer of 530 and Rome is facing the possibility of war with the growing Persian Empire. The Roman fort in the city of Dara, which is close to Persian territory, is seen as a major threat to the Persian Empire. Strategically, the importance of the city of Dara was very considerable since it covered a major route into Roman Mesopotamia and beyond into north Syria or northwestwards into Asia Minor (Haldon, 2008). The Battle of Dara takes place outside the city walls in the summer of 530. It is at this pivotal battle that the Roman forces reinforce the small force theory that is used on the modern battlefield (Leonhard). The Roman Commander Belisarius had proven himself a resourceful commander, known to do a great deal with very little. History has shown that Belisarius takes his soldiers into battles vastly outnumbered and yet they end up victorious. THESIS The intent of this battle analysis is to highlight three key events, causes, effects, and lessons learned as it relates to the battle tactics that the Romans used at the Battle of Dara. It has been argued by historians that the larger force usually end the battle victorious. By examining this Battle, we will prove that warfare has evolved throughout the years. Small forces of highly trained and disciplined soldiers can out maneuver and be victorious in armed conflict against a much larger force despite having limited resources. KEY EVENT 1 The previous year relations between the Roman emperor...

...authorities with respect to cyberspace than anyone else in the world. Many in the international community would disagree with allowing the US military to police the internet. They raise the question: What legal rules would be used to guide the military in its supervision of the internet. They believe that using international law is the best way to govern cyberspace usage. (Johnson, 1996) Still others favor the US military’s Cold War strategy of deterrence as a way of patrolling the internet. These that favor the US military option feel that the US should not observe international laws with respect to the internet at all. One major scenario based question that has been raised is in the event of a cyber-attack how would international law apply the use of force to a nation that has attack another nation via the internet? These are the questions and concerns surrounding this debate. O’Connell’s...

The 'war on terror' in the aftermath of the attacks of Sep. 11, 2001 has undermined human rights globally, according to activists and experts who when the UN conference in Paris. 'Immediately after Sep. 11 2001 there was dramatic change in government policies in regard to terrorism, suspected terrorism, and the monitoring of citizens, with the underlying believe that human rights norms as established in conventions and treaties no longer apply,' Joanne Mariner, director of the terrorism and counter-terrorism program at Human Rights Watch said at the conference in Paris last week. The trend has worsened over the last seven years, according to Mariner, Some 2,000 human rights experts and activists have attended the annual United Nations Department of Public Information Non-Governmental Organizations Conference. The UN DPI/NGO conference on 'Reaffirming Human Rights for all: The Universal Declaration at 60' was held at the headquarters of the Unites Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

...Current Event Somalia Historically known for having one of the most popular trading ports in Africa. Somalia lies on the East African coast of the Indian Ocean bordering Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Kenya. Over 80% of the country’s population is ethnic Somalis of Afro-Asiatic descent. Somalia has a rich history of poetry and is believed to be the first region Camels were domesticated. It is also one of the first areas of Africa were Islam was adopted. A sea full of fish and land full of natural resources one would assume this coastal country would be one of the thriving African nation states in the 21st century; those assumptions were valid a few decades ago. With the push of democracy and the pressure of Western Powers to eliminate authoritarian leader Siad Barre, eventually caused a civil war beginning in the early 90’s. Mogadishu was named the most dangerous city in the world year after year. Many Somalis fled to neighboring Kenya or to North America and Europe. The other numerous millions were abandoned by the world having to deal with civil war, droughts, and famine. Numerous failed attempts of legitimate political leaders gaining power lead to a radical Islamic Militant group rise. Al-Shabaab has been reigning terror in Somalia and neighboring East African for near a decade.

This was done to prevent communication that could endanger national security or lead to acts of violence and terrorism. In November of 2003 Lynne Stewart was indicted on charges of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and obstruction of justice. After several court dates and motions Lynne Stewart finally went to trial and was convicted on February 10th 2005 after a nine month trial. After several adjournments so she could get treatment for breast cancer Lynne Stewart was sentenced to 28 months in prison. The prosecution strongly objected to that sentence as they were requesting 30 years. Lynne Stewart appealed her conviction and was allowed to remain free during the process. The US Attorney’s office also asked the Court Of Appeals to not only uphold the convictions but to impose a much longer sentence. On November 17th 2009 the Court Of Appeals affirmed the convictions and ordered Lynne Stewarts immediate incarceration also remanded the case back to Judge Koeltl for possible resentencing because it came to light during the appeal that she may have committed perjury during her trial.

...Course Project Parts 1-3 ITT Technical Institute GE 273 Microeconomics How outsourcing affects the US economy and contributes to political stability in developing economies is a matter of great debate. Many people think this practice will have an overall positive effect on the US economy, since it saves money for companies, opens up opportunities for greater entrepreneurship in the US, and leads to more Americans holding higher level jobs. Jobs that companies outsource to save money besides medical and manufacturing include copy writing jobs for publishing companies, administrative jobs, and data entry jobs for insurance companies. Critics suggest hiring foreign workers has an immediate effect on the US economy by stripping many Americans of jobs they would have performed, particularly by semi-skilled or skilled laborers. Further, many argue that giving jobs to workers in less developed countries improves those countries economically and increases trade for US products. It also increases a country’s ability to pay back debts to the US, and may promote better political relationships. Companies economically benefit by selling their products in other countries. This means they can hire more people in the US, lower their prices on products for US consumers. Comparative advantage and efficiency takes place when countries, individuals, and firms have lower opportunity costs in the production of a good or service with comparison to that of their competitors. This creates more...

...international law. The art of war has not changed since the beginning of time. Yes, there are new weapons, but the content for the most part is the same. Defeat your enemy, rendering them unable to strike back, or attack them where it hurts so that they do not want to proceed in the war. Through the evolution of war, the United States has conquered and been defeated. We may not always be law abiding, but we do what we deem necessary to defend the nation. In the process of defending, we learned that technological advancements are not always a positive thing, and technology can become too powerful for any one nation alone. The creation of the nuclear bomb was just that. Now that there is this terrifying new advancement in warfare technology, how do we stop it from getting into the hands of the wrong people? Executive summary, In this paper, I will discuss how the Stuxnet virus was used to stop the use and development of nuclear weaponry in Iran. The laws on proper use will also be discussed, exploring whether it was lawful to deploy the virus, with relation to the use of Traditional Military Activities and presidential findings. In addition, I will include documentation that reflects the right to use force, armed attacks and self-defense to help determine a reasonable conclusion of the cyber operation....

Partition Plan of 1947, and states how the Jews accepted the plan, but the Arabs did not. It talks of how the Arabs started a war with the Jews, which ultimately turned to their demise in Israel. The video talks of the “Ideology of Return,” which states how the Jews across the world with to return to their promised land, and the Arabs want to return back home following the war.
