NT1430 Final Review 1. Know what a swap partition is used for. a. The swap partition is an independent section of the hard disk used solely for swapping; no other files can reside there. Swap partition is used to turn the hard drive into extra RAM. 2. Know what an architecture is, and which are supported by Fedora. a. 32 and 64 bit b. Fedora CDs and DVDs hold programs compiled to run on a specific processor architecture (class of processors, or CPUs) c. There are several that Fedora supports:

Operating systems, applications, and network protocols have grown so complex over the last decade that it takes a dedicated security administrator to keep even a relatively small network shielded from attack. Each technical advance brings wave after wave of security holes. A new protocol might result in dozens of actual implementations, each of which could contain exploitable programming errors. Logic errors, vendor-installed backdoors, and default configurations plague everything from modern operating

Investigators LLC Controls and Countermeasures Private Investigators Limited Liability Company (LLC) has a small office with one server and six workstations. This LLC partnership hosts its own website that allows clients to log in and enter case information. An evaluation of the network and security configuration to determine threats and weakness to the existing system has been completed. A list of the top five associated threats for the Server, Workstations, and Website are outlined below. The

IP Spoofing by Farha Ali, Lander University The Internet Protocol, or IP, is the main protocol used to route information across the Internet. The role of IP is to provide best-effort services for the delivery of information to its destination. IP depends on upper-level TCP/IP suite layers to provide accountability and reliability. The heart of IP is the IP datagram, a packet sent over the Internet in a connectionless manner. An IP datagram carries enough information about the network to get

TCP/IP protocols have long been subject to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks, but the advent of SSL/TLS was supposed to mitigate that risk for web transactions by providing endpoint authentication and encryption. The advent of Dug Song's 'webmitm' in late 2000 demonstrated the feasibility of mounting an MITM attack on the protocol, but a properlyconfigured client SSL implementation would warn the user about problems with the server certificate. This paper examines the mechanics of the SSL protocol attack
