Explain how the automated malware analysis can be made ineffective and unscalable by the use of two unintelligible techniques, Host Identify-Based Encryption and Instruction Set Localization

Impeding Automated Malware Analysis

Author Note

Impeding Automated Malware Analysis

Malware analysis can be depicted as understanding the behavior of various malicious programs (Gandotra et al., 2019). With time, information gathered from the analysis has been used to detect similar malware and repair damaged systems. Additionally, cyber attackers have continued developing systems that prevent malware from being analyzed (Kara, 2019). This has not been of advantage for both parties. In this assignment, the focus will be on how the automated malware analysis can be made ineffective and unscalable by the use of two unintelligible techniques, Host Identify-Based Encryption and Instruction Set Localization, which is believed to make a malware sample dependent on the unique properties of the host it infects.

One thing that motivates me for the project is the fact that the techniques should not be limited to the existing analysis environment but rather be able to resist any potential analysis techniques that may occur in the future. Studies have been done through the stated techniques on the advantages and disadvantages and the various ways they can be implemented effectively to curb malware analysis.

Additionally, various designs can be made on the techniques that may assist in overcoming some challenges, involving host IDs that are the combination of both the host and network identifiers. My contribution is that I will ensure that the techniques are implemented, and the information is followed efficiently. One resource that can be used in this case includes the prototype design that will help explain and test ideas on the two techniques that will be the center of the study (Lauff et al., 2019). Through the resource, designing the host encryption and instruction set localization might easily assist in preventing automated malware analysis.

investigate the effect of solute concentration on the rate and direction of osmosis.

Purpose:

To investigate the effect of solute concentration on the rate and direction of osmosis.

Materials:

– 1 artificial cell containing tap water

– 1 green artificial cell containing 30% sucrose

– 2 – 400 ml beakers

– Tap water – 30% sucrose solution (green)

– 1 triple beam balance

– Paper towel

– Tweezers

– Pyrex glass dish

The artificial cells are made from dialysis tubing, which is a type of engineered plastic with very small holes, which some molecules can pass through. In this case, water molecules are able to pass through but not molecules of sucrose.

Method:

• In one 400 ml beaker, add 300 ml of water. In the other beaker, add 300 ml of the tinted 30% sucrose solution.
• Using tweezers, take one artificial cell containing tap water (un-tinted) and quickly dry it with a paper towel and place it on the Pyrex tray. Take one artificial cell containing 30% sucrose solution (tinted) and quickly dry it with a paper towel and place it on the same Pyrex tray.
• Carefully weigh each cell on the triple beam balance to the nearest tenth of a gram. Record the weights in Table 1. Place the cells back on the Pyrex tray.
• Pick up each of the two cells and place them in the opposite beaker. The artificial cell containing the un-tinted water is to be placed into the tinted 30% sucrose solution and the artificial cell containing the 30% sucrose solution is to be placed into the beaker containing tap water. Note and record the time.
• After 45 minutes, remove each cell from its beaker, dry them by quickly rolling them on a paper towel and place them on the Pyrex tray. 6) Carefully weigh each cell to the nearest tenth of a gram and record the weights in Table 1 on the next page. 7) Calculate the gain or loss in weight and calculate the percent increase or decrease in Table 1. Include the (–) sign for negative values.

Questions (To be answered within the Discussion portion of your lab):

• Did cell(s) gain or lose weight?
• Is this what you expected? Give reasons for your answer using your data.
• Is the percentage gain about the same as the percentage loss? Is this what you expected, given that the differences in tonicity (concentration gradient) between the cells and the solutions in the beakers were the same? (0% cell -30%solution and 30%cell -0% solution)
• Do your data support or refute your hypotheses for rate and direction of osmosis?
• Theoretically, could the cells or solutions be recycled, just as they are, for another lab? Explain
• Is the 30% sucrose cell still 30% sucrose at the end of the lab? Explain

How does mental health and substance use disorder affect the consumer, their families, and their communities

My Research Question:

“How does mental health and substance use disorder affect the consumer, their families, and their communities”

What is it?

The research question and methods paper provides you the opportunity to expand upon the knowledge you gained in SOC 331 in forming a research question, performing empirical research using the library databases, and APA style. In addition, this paper allows you to develop knowledge around how best to employ an appropriate research method for your chosen topic.

What is this assignment about?

This paper is your opportunity to demonstrate your ability to critically think through the creation of a research question and discussion of the methodology of your choosing. It will also provide you with the opportunity to continue to expand your knowledge of APA style.

To successfully complete this assignment, include the following elements:

• A 6-8 page paper in APA style in which you create a research question based on your topic of interest, but also related to the disciplines within the behavioral sciences.
• In this paper, create a research question and explain what specific type of research method you would use if you were to conduct research to answer your research question. Do not conduct any research.Be sure to explain why you would choose this method and how it is better than some of the other methods for answering your question.
• In addition, discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your proposed research method, and use citations from the textbook. This will be the “heart” of this paper. Be sure to explain this section in detail and provide specific examples. Relate the strengths and weaknesses to your topic, and how, as a researcher, you would compensate for any weaknesses.
• Keep in mind that research methods are not right or wrong, just appropriate or not appropriate for answering the research question.
• Explain the ethical considerations to keep in mind if you were to conduct research on your chosen topic. How would you address confidentiality and anonymity (Hint: You can’t have both)? How would you protect your subjects or participants?
• You will also be expected to briefly summarize and cite from a minimum of five (5) scholarly articles and the textbook. Minimum means that you have met this requirement for the assignment, which equates to a letter grade of C (satisfactory) for this rubric category.
• You may use other high quality non-scholarly sources.
• You may use any resources in this Canvas site.
• A good paper would “weave in” specific examples from all of your sources into the text of your paper. Be sure to connect the scholarly articles to what you have to say about your chosen research method.

How will learning to write a research methods paper help me in my future career?

In much of your professional life, you will be asked by your supervisor, clients or funders: how is the program doing or what can/should we do differently? While they may be interested in what you think, they will very interested in what you know, especially if you can back up your opinion with facts, literature based theory, statistics, and/or logical reasoning.  Anyone can have opinions, but those that really matter are ones that are well-thought out, backed up by existing literature, and developed through the deployment of rigorous research. Being able to do research into a problem or evaluate an existing program will distinguish you from those who cannot.

How do I write a good Research Proposal  paper?

The best way to approach this assignment is to first create your research question and then concentrate on finding your sources so that you can see how others are researching your topic and the ethical considerations surrounding it.

Next, spend the bulk of your time discussing how you would conduct the research. A good place to start is to consider your methodology…will you employ a Quantitative or Qualitative Methodology? Then, think about data collection methods…i.e.: interviews, surveys, or observations. Finish up by continuing to add details about your methods. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. For example, if everyone who does research on your topic is using case study methodology, that is a huge clue that you should probably be using this methodology for your paper. If you have any questions or need some guidance, please contact your instructor.
