...MBK – Lab Report Name: __Jade Smart___ Section: ___________________ Aseptic Technique and Culturing Microbes Part 3: Generating Microbial Cultures: Observe your organisms after 24 hours to assess the growth patterns of all tubes. If there is no observable growth allow the tubes to incubate an additional 24 hours. Record your observations. Questions: A. What is the difference between a bactericidal and bacteriostatic agent? Between sterilization and disinfecting? The difference between the two is that bactericidal kills bacteria directly. While bacteriostatic stops the bacteria from growing. Bactericidal will injure the plasma membrane and the cell will leak out, killing it. Bacteriostatic stops bacteria from replicating. The main difference between sterilization and disinfection is, that sterilization kills all microorganisms, while disinfection eliminates harmful microorganisms from inanimate objects and surfaces.

...Lab 3 TCP\IP networking communication protocols 1. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a protocol for mapping an Internet Protocol address to a physical machine address that is recognized in the local network. 2. The DHCP is used to distribute the main IP and create subnets for all additional computer connected to the same network. The DHCP server will be connected to the router and switch; it will distribute specific IP address to each individual computer so they can all be identified. 3. The DNS is the service that converts/translates the alphabetical name of a domain in to a numeric number known as an IP address. It can assign a specific IP address for a domain www.website.com or subsite.website.com. 4. FTP stands for file transfer protocol and it allows people to transfer files from a local destination to a remote location. A lot of web developers use this protocol because it is the main source of uploading and downloading data to their server. POP3 is the main email protocol that email programs use to retrieve emails from an email server. POP3 physically downloads the email to the local location and usually does not leave a copy of the remote server; there is an option to allow a copy to be saved on the mail server. 5. Student IP was 192.168.1.1 and the target IP is 192.68.1.52 6. There was 13,535 packets were delivered back to the IP source. 7. The 3-way handshake is used to establish a strong connection.

...Objective To implement the Product of Sums (POS) of a Boolean expression. Components ICs: NOT (7404), 2-input AND (7408), 2-input OR (7432) Lab equipment: breadboard, power supply, multimeter. Problem Derive the Product of Sums (POS) expression from the equation provided below. Y = A’B + B’C’D’ + BCD + AB’CD Note that gates with large number of inputs can be constructed from gates with less number of inputs. Introduction The equation Y=A’B+B’C’D’+BCD+AB’CD needs to be rearranged using a Karnaugh map to support the product of sums circuit. The truth table for the previous experiment, Lab 2 SOP Implementation of Boolean Expressions, is used for the Karnaugh map. IC 7408 and 7432 only has 2 inputs for each gate, so an extra pair is needed to be able to manage the amount of OR gates required. Prelab In order to simplify the equation, the truth table needed to be solved for Y = A’B + B’C’D’ + BCD + AB’CD and converted using a Karnaugh map. During simplification, the coordinates at the 0’s that are grouped up horizontally and vertically, in groups of two, and are divided. When searching for the product of sums the 1’s turn to 0’s, and is a commonly missed error. After simplifying the expression, the schematic was drawn to map out the 2 input gate structure of the ICs: 7404, 7408, and 7432. Truth Table for Y = A’B + B’C’D’ + BCD + AB’CD A’ | B’ | C’ | D’ | A | B | C | D | A’B | B’C’D’ | BCD | AB’CD | Y | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 |...

Explain Creating groups enables access to specific files rather than giving everyone access to specific files. 2) Given the scenario where there are five database administrators that may periodically need access to a given system. Discuss a concept to better manage these administrators' access permissions. Each administrator will need to have their own password to access the system. 3) The new web administrator's account has been set up and a password provided. What is the process to force a password change upon first long? su -c 'chage -d 0 jtemp' 4) What is the purpose of the "su" command? Explain its significance. su is so that the user can enter superuser mode. 5) Restricting the use of the 'su' command can be configured using what mechanism? Vi /etc/pam.d/su 6) What is the purpose of the login.defs files? Explain the contents and configuration options. The login.defs file contains the maximum number and minimum number of data a password may be used, the minimum acceptable password length, and number of days a warning is given before a password expires. 7) What is the PASS_MIN_DAYS setting?

Name: Eric Ohman _ Date: 02/26/2016 Name: David Farrier _______Date: 02/26/2016 Name: Lucas Fischer ______ Date: 02/26/2016 Name: David Hernandez Date: 02/26/2016 ABSTRACT Several experiments were conducted on various drilling fluid samples, chiefly relating to the effects of viscosifiers (Bentonite), weighting agents (Barite, and salt on the filtration properties of these muds. Clear knowledge of the filtration properties of drilling fluids is of great importance to the drilling engineer as excessive filtration can cause both damage to the formation both from fine particles and from water infiltration. There are many negative effects of excessive filtration, including the loss of expensive drilling fluid, damage to the formation, and stuck pipe caused by large amounts of filter cake. In this experiment, using mud cakes were formed from mud samples of varying composition using a filter press. These results were then analyzed in fluid loss vs. square root of time...

...through software development lifecycle; there still remains security holes that arise when an application is deployed and interacts with other processes and different operating systems (Cobb, 2014). Another reason that penetration test is critical is many Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) mandate internal and external penetration test (Cobb,2014). 2. What is a cross-site scripting attack? Explain in your own words. Cross-site scripting is when an attacker exploits the controls of a trusted website and injects malicious code with the intent of spreading it to other end users. For example, an attacker injects a browser script on a website, so that other users will click on it and compromise sensitive information. 3. What is a reflective cross-site scripting attack? A reflective cross-site scripting attack is when the injected script is reflected off the web server, much like an error message or search results. This type of attack is mostly carried out by e-mail messages in which the user is tricked by clicking on a malicious link and then the injected code travels to the vulnerable website and reflects the attack back to the user’s browser (OWASP, 2013). 4. What common method of obfuscation is used in most real-world SQL attacks? These methods include character scrambling, repeating character masking, numeric variance, nulling, artificial data generation, truncating, encoding, and aggregating. These methods rely on an array of built in SQL server...

If you want a review of file systems, be sure to check out our other article, HTG Explains: Which Linux File System Should You Choose? In the old days, it was the primary way that the system mounted files automatically. Nowadays, you can plug in a USB drive of any kind and it’ll just pop up in Nautilus like it does in Windows and Mac OS, but once upon a time, you had to manually mount those disks to a specific folder using the “mount” command. This held true for DVDs, CDs, and even floppies (remember those?). 2. Which fstab option would allow customers to view PDF files without being able to modify the files? "evince file.pdf" "You can use either rw or ro" 3. In the /etc/fstab file, what is the meaning of the defaults parameter? 4. Describe the process to create a quota hard drive limit of 2G for a user.

...1. The three major categories used to provide authentication of an individual are something you are, something you have, and something you know. 2. Authorization is how an organization will assign and enforce access control rights. It is aligned with Identification and Authentication because it limits users who have a legitimate need for resources and it requires a strong password policy. 3. Three examples of Network Architecture Controls that help enforce data access policies at the LAN-to-WAN Domain level are SSO(Single Sign On), TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol), and SSID(Service Set Identifier). 4. LLC (Logical Link Control) and MAC(Media Access Control) 5. A NAC System, or Network Access Control system, is a policy where limited access to resources is granted to a computer that was just connected to the network. Once everything is scanned and checked, the NAC will grant the appropriate level of access. 6. A Public Key Infrastructure is a framework that consists of programs, procedures, and security policies that employ public key cryptography. In order to implement it, you would need to verify MAC addresses in the table. 7. PKI provides the capabilities of digital signatures and encryption to implement 8.

...history of humanity, beginning with the Paleolithic Era. Distinct from the history of Planet Earth (which includes early geologic history and prehuman biological eras), world history comprises the study of archeological and written records, from ancient times on. Ancient recorded history begins with the invention of writing.[1][2] However, the roots of civilization reach back to the period before the invention of writing. Prehistory begins in the Paleolithic Era, or "Early Stone Age," which is followed by the Neolithic Era, or New Stone Age, and the Agricultural Revolution (between 8000 and 5000 BCE) in the Fertile Crescent. The Neolithic Revolution marked a change in human history, as humans began the systematic husbandry of plants and animals.[3][4][5] Agriculture advanced, and most humans transitioned from a nomadic to a settled lifestyle as farmers in permanent settlements. Nomadism continued in some locations, especially in isolated regions with few domesticable plant species;[6] but the relative security and increased productivity provided by farming allowed human communities to expand into increasingly larger units, fostered by advances in transportation. World population[7] from 10,000 BCE to 2,000 CE. The vertical (population) scale is logarithmic. As farming developed, grain agriculture became more sophisticated and prompted a division of labor to store food between growing seasons. Labor divisions then led to the rise of a leisured upper class and the development of cities...
