...TERMS OF REFERENCE The objective of this research is to assess provision of internet connection to customers living in rural Ireland and to a customer living in central Dublin. This research is also aiming to consider safety and confidentiality on the internet, and to examine various potential external threats. An overview on the ISP services available in Ireland, taking into consideration both home and business users, will also be given. SECURITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY ON THE INTERNET Various types of computer threats have been around since the invention of the internet. The following will explain what they are and how they work. According to the website BusinessDictionary.com a computer virus is a ‘small but insidious piece of programming-code that attacks computers and network systems through 'contaminated' (infected) data files, introduced into a system via disks or internet. As a digital equivalent of biological microorganisms, it attaches itself to the target computer’s operating systems or other programs, and automatically replicates itself to spread to other computers or networks’. (1) Computer viruses are a small piece of software that are able attach to disks or other files (viruses can be created for any operating system including DOS and other programs such as Excel) replicating itself without the users consent or knowledge. Some attach to files so when the infected programme is used the virus also executes, whilst others lie dormant in the memory and infect files when...

...begin planning your network architecture. You must either submit a typed Word document that contains all of the parameters for the assignment or you may provide a hybrid Word document that implements tables or diagrams to aid in the explanation of your architecture. While a diagram requires more effort and work, and is not required, it may serve to make the assignment easier as you begin assigning IP addresses and as you begin deciding on a routing protocol. I leave this decision to you, whichever works best for you! There is no mandatory length to this assignment. If it takes you two pages or ten to meet the criteria for receiving full credit, that is up to you. Understand that there is no one correct way to implement this architecture. This assignment leaves a lot of room for customization and personalization; however, to receive full credit for the assignment you MUST complete all 10 items listed below. This project will be a practical application assignment that tests the student’s ability to plan various aspects of a company’s network architecture. This assignment is designed to mimic a real world scenario that you may encounter at your company’s location or as a service that you provide to your clients in the future. Believe it or not, while the assignment may sound and seem simple in the classroom, it can become stressful when your client’s money is on the line and your job and reputation rests on the product you present. Your company, Network Solutions Inc., has been...

...personal and financial information on ecommerce sites. One common attack is SQL injection, which is a tactic where a hacker inserts SQL query data into user input fields on a web site, with the goal of that query being executed by the database. With the strategic placement of apostrophes, dashes and semi-colons, the hacker can execute queries that bring a web site down, provide access to customer financial and other personal information, and even manipulate data on the site. There have been a number of high-profile SQL injection attacks that have resulted in the theft of user information. The web sites of both Guess and PetCo were both the victims of a successful SQL injection attack by a 20 year old programmer who was able to steal user credit card information. Other online retailers that have fallen victim to SQL injection attacks resulting...

...[MARCH 2016] Group No. 1: 1. Ngo Thi Mai Lan 2. Nguyen Ngoc Hao 3. Nguyen Thi Tho 4. Mai Thị Thu 5. Nguyen The Tu ASSIGNMENT FOR E-COMMERCE Questions: 1. What’s difference between the virus, worm, and Trojan horse? 2. How would you protect your firm against a Denial of Service (DoS) attack? 3. Explain why an e-commerce site might not want to report being target of cybercrimals? 4. Is a computer with anti-virus software protected from viruses? Why or why bother? 5. Why the value of stolen information which prices range in underground marketplace is so wide? Answer: 1. The difference between the virus, worm, and Trojan horse Viruses, Worms, and Trojan are all part of a class of software called malware. Malware or malicious code (malcode) is short for malicious software. It is code or software that is specifically designed to damage, disrupt, steal, or in general inflict some other “bad” or illegitimate action on data, hosts, or networks. There are many different classes of malware that have varying ways of infecting systems and propagating themselves. Malware can infect systems by being bundled with other programs or attached as macros to files. Others are installed by exploiting a known vulnerability in an operating system (OS), network device, or other software, such as a hole in a browser that only requires users to visit a website to infect their computers. The vast majority, however, are installed by some...

...operating on American soil; however, the unfortunate consequences of the Act have been drastic. Many of the Patriot Act’s provisions are in clear violation of the U.S constitution, and that’s why I am against the USA Patriot Act. The Patriot Act basically gives almost unlimited anti- privacy powers to domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies. Privacy Invasions are one of the down falls of the Patriot Act. USAPA II dramatically widens the powers of government to invade the privacy of Americans and others living here. This includes, broad new authority to compel information from ISPs, friends, relatives, businesses and others, all without informing you. Immunity for businesses that voluntarily turn over your information to law enforcement. Extra punishment for use of cryptography no connection to terrorism needed. Instant police access to your credit reports upon certification that they are sought "in connection with their duties", again with no connection to terrorism needed. Relaxed requirement of specificity for warrants for multi-use devices like PDAs and computers with telephonic capabilities. DNA collected from all terrorism suspects/DNA database information open to all law enforcement. Less judicial oversight of surveillance. This is all completely wrong. Patriot virtually eliminates checks and balances that previously gave courts the opportunity to ensure that those powers were not abused, but the Act lets them...

...them are discussed. Major legal, regulatory and institutional constraints to e-commerce are identified. The paper also lists specific policy changes aimed at bringing improvements to the legal and regulatory environment affecting e-commerce. Dimensions of E-Commerce The three dimensions of e-commerce are Business-to-Consumers (B2C), Business-to Business (B2B) and Business-to-Government (B2G). B2C e-commerce is unlikely to be of much use in the near future in Bangladesh because of low per capita income, a weak infrastructural and legal environment, lack of trust between business and consumers. B2C for cross border trade is also limited by the factors suggested for the domestic front. In addition, non-availability of international credit cards, foreign currency remittance restrictions, delays and informal payments at customs clearance even for small value and quantity items will discourage B2C. The B2B application already exists in the export sector of Bangladesh, especially in the Ready Made Garments (RMG) industry. RMG has the lion’s share of the export earnings in Bangladesh. The RMG sector has begun to use the Internet, and its dependence on ecommerce is likely to grow in the coming years. The Internet would enable them to seek information about potential buyers as well as raw material suppliers. Similarly the practice of posting a website by individual producers has begun. However, if Bangladeshi producers are unable to...

...Information Security Article Evaluation Nelson Okubasu CMGT/441 12/3/2014 MARJORIE MARQUE Can We Sniff WI-Fi?: Implications of Joffe v. Google Google collected information between 2007 and 2010 both in us and oversees. In 2010 a law suit was filed against google for violating the federal wiretap act. Among the first of the cases to rule on intercepting unsecured Wi-Fi communications. As of today our society has become so dependent on using Wi-Fi communications for various aspects of our lives, there is a parallel expectation of privacy. At the same time there are so many people or users out there who don’t understand how Wi-Fi technology works, if their information is secure, whether there privacy is violated or if the government has the right law in place to protect them. The fact that users do not fully understand Wi-Fi technology and the shortcomings of current security mechanisms is not a justification to violate their privacy, but instead to call on the government to enact or amend the Federal Wiretap Act (FWA) to reflect their reasonable expectations. Clear statutory protections will allow for the continued progression of Wi-Fi technology. Society’s dependency on Wi-Fi networks and public hotspots both economically and personally requires expansion of the FWA to ensure national uniformity. Essentially, the court found that even though Wi-Fi networks do transmit data using radio waves, the uses of Wi-Fi technology...
