...CSEC630 1. When running Snort IDS why might there be no alerts? When using Snort IDS, there are several modes that if configured properly, will generate alerts. Alerts are set by the user within the command prompt when initiating a rule set. There are five alerting options available with Snort IDS. According to (Roesch, 1999), Alerts may either be sent to syslog, logged to an alert text file in two different formats, or sent as Win-Popup messages using the Samba smbclient program. If there has been no alerts, the selected rule set was set may not have been enabled by the user. Another scenario where alerts may not occur is when another task is being performed. According to (Roesch, 1999) when alerting is unnecessary or inappropriate, such as when network penetrations tests are being performed. 2. If we only went to a few web sites, why are there so many alerts? Snort IDS performs numerous functions that would generate an alert. Alerts are generated based on any suspicious network activity. Although a user may have only visited 5 sites, snort may have generated 12 or more alerts that were generated due to anomalies detected from the 5 sites visited. 3. What are the advantages of logging more information to the alerts file? The advantage of logging additional information within the alerts file is that it can provide additional information as to the origination or source of what caused the alert. If the administrator is better informed on the sources of...

The NCMEC is a leading example of a highly respected and effective non-profit that has partnerships with both the public and private sectors. Do you know what to do if your child was to ever go missing? Who do you turn to? What are the procedures in case your child goes missing? These are some questions that every parent should have an answer to in case it ever happens to them. The AMBER Alert Program, named for 9-year-old Amber Hagerman, is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement agencies, broadcasters, and transportation agencies to activate an urgent bulletin in the most serious child-abduction cases. Broadcasters use the Emergency Alert System (EAS) to air a description of the abducted child and suspected abductor. The goal of an AMBER Alert is to instantly galvanize the entire community to assist in the search for and safe recovery of the child. John Walsh from America’s Most Wanted help co-founded National Center for Missing Exploited Children which merged from Adam Walsh Child Resource Center. Almost 30 years ago there was no real organized way of helping parents in efforts to locate missing children. But through John Walsh own personal tragedy that helps shape the way law enforcement and parents help find their missing children. I hope that nobody ever has to go through the pain and long suffering...

...ACTION ALERT URGENT ACTION REQUESTED December 2, 2015 TELL CONGRESS THE ELDERLY NEED ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR HOUSING AND COMMUNITY-BASED SERVICES TAKE ACTION NOW! Thanks to your advocacy we have achieved a preliminary victory on 2016 funding for senior housing and services programs. Now we have to make sure these essential services get the funding increases they need. For the last several months, we have advocated for Congress to lift the spending caps that threatened severe cuts in housing and home- and community-based services. Late last month Congress passed a budget measure to do just that. But we still have to make sure that senior housing and services get the fair share of extra money this new budget allows. THIS IS HOW YOU CAN HELP: Contact your lawmakers and tell them it is crucial that essential services for the aging get appropriations increases. Talking Points * Sufficient funding is needed to cover the cost of renewing all existing rental assistance subsidy contracts for senior housing, including vouchers and project-based Section 8, project-based rental assistance (PRAC) under Section 202, and senior preservation rental assistance (SPRAC). * Full funding for the annual contracts is necessary in order to maintain the existing housing stock and prevent displacement of seniors or put scarce housing at risk. * These programs affect over 100,000 senior households. The typical Section 202 resident has an income of less than $11,000 per year, and...

...1 Christy Singleton Amber Alert PADM530 I001 Spr 14 Professor Christi Bartman Department of Public Administration APU June 11, 2014 2 Abstract The Amber Plan was created in 1996, following the kidnapping and murder of Amber Hagerman, age nine, from Arlington, Texas. The people of this community were devastated and wanted to create a system to avoid any future instances like this from occuring. In doing so, the people of the Dallas, Texas area contacted the media, giving them suggstions to make an active system. Currently, there is the newest version of the Amber Alert System which uses the internet as another outreach from the media which will alert the public when an abduction of a child occurs. This paper explores the history and creation of the Amber Alert System. Furthermore, an evaluation of how the system has and has not been effective is discussed. A review of the making of the policies and implementation of issues within this system to make it successful are reviewed. 3 Amber AlertThe Amber Alert System is a program used for when a child goes missing or is abducted. This program uses resources, such as law enforcement, state, local, and federal, and media to alert the general public that a kidnapping of a child is in action. The Amber Alert System is used when a child of a young age is missing, when police feel a child has been kidnapped, and when a child is under serious threat of bodily harm or death, even if it is a parent in which the child...

...constantly have to learn new technology so that they can more efficiently do their job. Thanks to the changes in technology police officers have a better chance of finding criminals and proving their cases. For example in the 1980’s police officers did not really have DNA testing. Because they did not have this, more people were able to get away with more crimes. Now that we have DNA testing technology it is easier to prove that a criminal was at the scene of the crime. Another example is the Amber Alert system. In Oklahoma a little girl named Amber was kidnapped from her mother and her mother pushed and pushed until she was able to get a system that broadcasted the Amber Alert on every television and radio and electronic billboard across the United States. This was a great idea because it got the word out all across the country and more people were aware to look out for this girl and aid in the search. Now we have social media sites that notify us whenever there is an Amber Alert. Also some police officers have thermal imaging devices so that it can read heat and make it easier to find people who have gone...

...I was suddenly awakened in the middle of night.As I glanced around there was no one except me,laying on an uncomfortable bed.Slowly,I got down from my bed and tiptoed to the window.A slight of cool breeze whipped to my ears.Dead leaves rattled in the wind.There was a stony prickling silence except for the eerie sound of chilly wind howling in the air.Goosebumps sprouted on my skin all over my frail body.A sliver of moonlight glimmered through the wind,slicing my pallid face.Slowly,I swept my dry face and sighed heavily.I had same dream that haunted me for years .A streak of remorse jabbed into my soul.A purged of guilt poured deep into my heart.I had a bad memory.The memory was glistening trough my luminous intriguing dark eyes. Karakura Town was exceptionally blissful on that day.The sun shone brightly through foliage of hazel maple trees lining the road and puffy clouds briskly skimmed the sky.High in the air,avian were fluttering in the formation of chilly wind,spiraling and squawing.From far,I could see de luxe luxurious majestic ship sailed into the harbor.Kyllie ,my best friend enthusiastically waving towards Luke (my fiancée) and I .We were invited by Kyllie to celebrate her grand birthday party at her imposing picturesque manor on Hayaki Island.

...Kimberly Tucker, Chris Salt, Ashley Solomon Case 7: Mattel: Overcoming Marketing and Manufacturing Challenges 11/01/2010 Marketing Management 6800 Section 004 The Problem: The problem surrounding Mattel Inc., one of the world’s largest toy companies, is their mismanagement of international subcontractors and vendors and the production of certain toys (the manufacturing process), as well as their inability to adapt their marketing strategy or product to the constantly changing “demographic and socioeconomic trends” (Ferrell, et. all 466). This is supported by Mattel’s legal battle with Carter Bryant and MGA, their forced recall of certain toys that were manufactured overseas, and the increasing rate at which traditional toys are becoming less appealing to today’s young audience. Essentially, Mattel’s mismanagement and oversight lead to violations in terms of ethical and social responsibilities and safety standards. Issues Relevant to the Problem: Mattel’s problem of mismanagement can be divided into several issues that need to be considered: legal issues, international supply chain issues, and an increase in technology-based toys. In regards to legal issues, Mattel has been involved in prolonged litigation with Carter Bryant and MGA over a breach of an employment contract and copyright infringement. Due to Mattel’s poor management of its overseas manufacturers, in which unauthorized subcontractors and third-party suppliers were hired and unsafe materials used, several...

...person is focusing on something different, thinking of something different, and noticing something different. That is why every person has a story to tell, and it is why we can learn from every single person. And this essay is about my short autobiography, which can give you an indication of my personal story. I came into this world on the windy morning of October 15, 1990. I was born in Cua Viet, a small town in Vietnam. I am the 5th child among the 5 children of my parent. I grew up and spent almost my whole life in my country. Now, I am the second year student in Business Accounting- the 2 year program. I have been through many life-changing situations in past 3 years. These situations have had both positive and negative impacts to me. My goals from 5 years ago compare to my current goals are totally different. After finishing 12th grade, I just wanted to become a Mathematics teacher, so I went to Hue University and tried my best to achieve the goal. However, when I was the 2nd year student of the Hue University, I found that I was no longer interested in becoming a teacher. Hence, I dropped the school and wanted to get a better education in Canada and seek opportunities in accounting. Since then, my life has changed. On one hand, starting my new life in a strange country is so hard. When I just came, I faced many difficulties, such as the language, the weather and the life style. Firstly, language was a big matter when I first came. Speaking was one of the linguistic problems...

...Freddy Rodriguez Prof. Chamberlain English 063 16 Oct, 2012 My Hate for Work We all deal with some sort of issue that makes our work experience negative. In my case its cooking at a restaurant where all you hear is kids screaming uncontrollably from the control point window in the grill, the fog coming from both the fryer and grill, and last, but not least the “pushing and shoving” from the grill team when we’re pulling off a thousand dollar hour. If you haven’t guessed yet, its Friendly’s “Where ice cream makes the meal”... and my hate for people. I’m just kidding, but I don’t like rude people; like if I’m nice to you why can’t you return the nice gesture? Anyways (back on track) its crazy how many sounds you hear, things you see and objects you feel within a five hour shift that actually feels like two because of working through a rush period. Children children children, I hate them. Hate is a strong word? Trust me I KNOW! I cannot fathom the loud screaming that sounds like metal to metal screeching; all because mommy won’t them get ice cream. The sad part is that I work in the grill and its sort of tucked away in the back. Imagining the intensity of the screaming? Quite horrible isn’t it? As if the loud grinding gears of their voices isn’t enough, I have the pleasure of watching them run around like its free game day at chuck e cheese or something. The only part I enjoy of them running around like maniacs is seeing the huge bright shiny smile on their faces, it makes...
