...Unit 3 Assignment 1: Choosing Port Scanning Software In order to test server security your Senior Administrator has assigned you to run port scanning software to analyze servers and security. Search the Internet for and choose port scanning software to implement on your network. Questions: 1. What is port scanning? Answer: The act of systematically scanning a computer's ports. Since a port is a place where information goes into and out of a computer, port scanning identifies open doors to a computer. Port scanning has legitimate uses in managing networks, but port scanning also can be malicious in nature if someone is looking for a weakened access point to break into your computer. (Webopedia, 2013) 2. What is the goal of port scanning? Answer: a. To determine services that a computer is running and shut down services not being used to increase the security of the computer being scanned. b. To determine the vulnerabilities of the services that is being run in the computer being scanned. The vulnerabilities can then be patched once they are identified. 3. Would you prefer an open source or proprietary port scanning software? Answer: Many people in the business world prefer to use proprietary software instead of open source software due to the misconception that proprietary software is better supported than open source software. After several years of supporting both open source software and proprietary software, it becomes clearly evident...

...Introduction In August 2002, I decided to finally travel to Ivory Coast and discovers the capital city compare to New York as little Manhattan, I was about to end up just like a dead number. When traveling to an unknown country, we are between excitement and surprises. My trip to Abidjan in Ivory Coast almost gets me killed amid a bank robbery and a civil war. The night I arrived in Ivory Coast, I saw what my friends and classmates from that country used to tell me about the main city, it was very close to the stories about it. The city was very well build and organized better than most African towns. During the twenty minutes’ drive from the airport to the hotel, I was just thinking little Manhattan. Once at the hotel, my concerns were the location and the price range even though; it was a very nice resort. With my host we decided that the next day we will find something better and affordable and that was the first mistake leading to series of scary and terrible events. The first event happened the next day we switch hotels to go to the next one. This hotel was built just few months before my arrival; the owner who was a very kind landlord gave me the biggest room of the hotel with a nice view on the valley behind. During the day, we went around the town to play tourists and eat local dishes. We stay out till ten thirty and we decided to head back to the inn. Once at the place I started watching last news on the television when I heard that throughout the day, the biggest...

...the vulnerabilities or weaknesses in a networks security posture and tries to take advantage of them. Enumeration is considered the first actual attack on target networks or machines because it is actively connecting to the network or machine to gather information. Port Scanning is one of the most popular techniques that an attacker uses to discover services running on that system. All the systems connected to the LAN or accessing network via a modem which runs services that listen to well-known ports. It is a common technique used by a penetration tester to find open ports and the services running on those ports. Port scanning provides the pentester with some insight to which OS is running, whether a firewall is involved, routing and general network topology and types of other hardware involved being used on the target network....

...Title: Supply Chain Analysis of Binagol in selected main ports in Leyte Methodology This study was conducted in three major ports in Leyte: Ormoc Sea port Terminal/Landport and, Tacloban Air Port and Terminal/Landport involving 100 key informant (KI) Binagol retailers, processors and main producers from Binagol-producing municipalities of Leyte. This was operationalized by the Supply Chain approach, where its activities transform natural resources, raw materials and components into finished product that is delivered to the end customer. The primary and secondary data was gathered for this study. The primary data was gathered through personal interviews with the Key Informant (KI) respondents, observation of their entire chain or the “Observation Technique” that can get information including the production costs, the sales of the Binagol in their respective main ports in Leyte, the information of the Talyan plantation as well as the farmers involved, and other key players (distributors, suppliers, manufacturers, logistics etc.) who involved in the flow of supply chain in Binagol. The other data which were the secondary one was gathered through Cluster Sampling. This type is more cost-effective to select respondents in groups or “clusters” based on the main ports they belonged. The statistical data will be computed and analyzed through SPSS Statistics, is a software package used for statistical analysis. It is now officially named "IBM SPSS Statistics".

...CCDR's concept of operation. Force closure is that point which the combatant commander determines that an adequate combat-ready force is available. Force closure requires well-defined criteria by which unit commanders can measure their readiness. Assessment of combat power begins with established standards for readiness and is based on unit capability, rather than simple tallies of vehicles and weapon systems on hand. Readiness and reporting are inherently operational matters, normally handled through operations channels. Segments of RSOI 4-2. RSOI operations are necessary for commanders to build combat power. The four segments of RSOI are— Reception. Unloading personnel and equipment from strategic transport assets, managing port marshalling areas, transporting personnel, equipment, and materiel to staging areas, and providing logistics support services to units transiting the PODs. Staging. Organizing personnel, equipment, and basic loads into movement units; preparing the units for onward movement; and providing logistics support for units transiting the staging area. Onward movement. Moving units from reception facilities and staging areas to the tactical assembly areas (TAAs) or other theater destinations; moving non-unit personnel to gaining commands; and moving sustainment supplies to distribution sites. Integration. The synchronized transfer of capabilities into an operational...

...Erik H. Shirreffs Professor Harris IHR 380 17 March 2015 Effect of West Coast Port Gridlock From May 12, 2014 until February 20, 2015, the Pacific Maritime Association was in negotiations with the International Longshore and Warehouse Union in an attempt to come to an agreement on a new contract, which will keep the west coast port facilities in operation. The Pacific Maritime Association represents 72 cargo carriers, terminal operators and stevedores that operate 29 major U.S. ports spanning the west coast from Washington to Southern California (Pacific). The International Longshore and Warehouse Union represents approximately 42,000 members, which includes the 20,000 West Coast dockworkers that process over 340 million tons of cargo per year. This cargo represents over 12.5 percent of the nation’s Gross Domestic Product. The contract in dispute between the Pacific Maritime Association and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union expired on July 1, 2014. Since that time, the port facilities had continued to operate without a contract, but as time passed, pressure from both sides increased in order to reach an agreement. The Pacific Maritime Association claimed that the International Longshore and Warehouse Union had been engaged in a work slow-down that had increased the congestion at west coast port facilities. Although other factors such as increased holiday shipping demands and a shortage of trucks and trailers contributed to the congestion, according...

...It might be chilly outside, but this snowy snap of a penguin couple holding hands is enough to melt even the coldest of hearts. The perfect pair enjoyed a romantic clinch, opting for a moment of solitude while dozens of other penguins gathered nearby. In fact, as one interloper approached the penguins, who looked almost like humans holding hands, appeared to give the freezing cold shoulder - and he continued trudging by. The heart-warming display of affection took place in Port Lockroy, a natural harbour in the Antarctic Peninsula. It was captured on camera by professional photographer Silviu Ghetie. What's going on here then? Oh, not you two again Get over yourselves! 'What are you two up to? Oh, holding hands again': Lonely heart approaches the couple and seeing they are only interested in themselves, moves switfly on The pair stand hand in hand appearing to stare out at the dramatic vista of the frozen Antarctic landscape. Their heads tilted slightly toward one-and-other, they look as if they are feeling the quiet drama that love brings to inner life. Then, still holding each other, they wander down to the icy waters and the rest of their friends. Photographer Mr Ghetie, 43, from Baia Mare in Romania, usually takes pictures of people but he couldn't resist snapping this magic moment while on a polar expedition. More...

...In the beginning of the lab I started by exploring both the tcpClient.c and tcpServer.c code. When I had a rough understanding of how it worked, I tried running it. This caused an error to occur. The problem was I was using Winsock sockets instead of BSD sockets. One, Winsock, is a socket creator for windows, the other BSD socket is an application programming interface for Unix. So, in order to get the application running, I simply had to change WIN to BSD sockets. Next I ran both files again and this time I got back a message from the server saying that it had received a message. Then I opened Wireshark to view what was going on between the client and server. In the top frame, I could see the handshake occurring between the client and server, the client was sending a SYN(Synchronize) and the Server was replying with a SYN-ACK, which means Synchronize acknowledgment. I also noted there was a push function occurring, and when I clicked on the psh function and viewed its output in the bottom frame of Wireshark, I could see the message that has been sent. Next I learnt about how to run the server I had created infinitely, to do this I put the entire code, starting at the #endif underneath “WSAStartup”, in a while loop. This would cause an issue later on in the lab, which I’ll discuss shortly. After putting in the code, I had to compile it again, and then when I ran it, I was able to continuously create a connection via the client. After that I wanted to have one of my classmates...

...Port Pricing & Port Tariff Analysis THE PORT PRODUCT A chain of consecutive links, while the port as a whole may itself be seen as a link in a global logistics chain Port costs account for only a fraction of the total costs associated with the logistics chain The prototypical port does not exist. Ports inevitably have an heterogeneous quality, e.g. the large number of possible market players involved (government, port management, shippers, forwarders, agents, shipping companies, trade unions, etc), each of which has specific objectives. Generalized Port Price Port Price per unit of throughput represents prices charged by the port for various port services, e.g. wharfage, berthing and cargo handling charges Ocean Carrier Port Time Price per unit of throughput represents the time-related costs incurred by ocean carriers while their ships are in port, e.g. ship depreciation, fuel and labor costs Inland Carrier Port Time Price per unit of throughput represents the time-related costs incurred by inland (rail and truck) carriers while their vehicles are in port, e.g., vehicle depreciation, fuel and labor costs Shipper Port Time Price per unit of throughput represents the time-related costs incurred by shippers while their shipments are in port, e.g., inventory costs such as insurance and depreciation costs. Port Profit Profit = Port Price*Port Throughput – Minimum Port Costs Port operating objectives of the port operator will differ depending...

...Summary and Conclusion: The Port of Umm Qasr is an outdated, badly operated, insecure small port in Southern Iraq, which will increasingly limit the economic potential of the country. Access to the port is naturally limited by its shallow river location, high silt deposit rates, long approach and international boundaries. Umm Qasr activities are also limited by man-made obstacles such as wrecks, UXOs and minefields encroaching on its single, narrow channel. Despite these limitations, for the next 10 to 15 years Umm Qasr is clearly Iraq's most viable international port and one that is struggling to achieve a small fraction of its potential traffic. Numerous surveys of the port have stated that the currently operating equipment for cargo handling is inadequate for a vibrant, functioning port. However, the capacity of the port with its current equipment is substantially greater than what is being achieved, and additional equipment alone would have little impact on the port’s overall throughput or employment because the current operating systems and procedures are already incapable of productively utilizing and maintaining the port’s quite substantial current assets. In a port suffering from organizational chaos, even manual systems will permit substantially improved port efficiency. Training in systems to minimize cargo handling, documentation management, and customs handing, yard management and the other “software” of port management would not only consume...

...Proposed Sonadia Deep Sea Port – A Future Communication Hub of South-East Asia Introduction 1. Sea ports all over the world act as economic and communicational hubs. The leading sector of a country like Singapore is its deep sea port. Theoretically, deep sea ports can be defined as economic infrastructures at sea having enough space to accommodate and harbor large container vessels with adequate draft. 2. Bangladesh stands on the vertex of the Bay of Bengal, blocking sea access to the entire region lying north, north-east and north-west. This geostrategic advantage could offer Bangladesh real opportunities to play a major role in regional seaborne trade. 3. Sonadia, a small island near Maheshkhali, possesses enormous geographical potentials for developing a deep sea port. Proper utilization of this potential might turn Bangladesh into a communication hub of south-east Asia. With this backdrop, this paper would focus on the requirements of a deep sea port at Sonadia, its prospects as a regional communication hub and challenges on its way. Aim 4. To discuss the prospects of ‘Sonadia Deep Sea Port’ as the future communication hub of south-east Asia. Requirement of Sonadia Deep Sea Port 5. Chittagong and Mongla ports are unable to handle larger container vessels having more than 9.2 meters draft and 1500 TEU capacity.
