password database

Let’s evaluate the strength of one of your current passwords. Just because an attacker steals your password database does not mean he automatically knows your password. He still has to crack it. Creating a strong password can make it impractical for an attacker to crack your password. George Shaffer has written several online tools that help users learn more about strong passwords. These tools can help you understand the differences between strong and weak passwords.

  1. Go to Password Checker OnlineLinks to an external site.
  2. Enter one of the passwords you use on a regular basis with a minor change.
  3. Click Submit.
  4. Take a screenshot.
  5. Take note of the problems with your password (e.g., a number sequence and a dictionary word).
  6. Try entering a password you might actually use and you think is strong.
  7. Take a screenshot of the results. Note: Weak passwords are typically easier to remember. However, it is possible to create a strong password that is fairly easy to remember.
  8. Students should then complete a page reflection on this lab and discuss which is more effective regarding password strength: password length or password complexity. This page should be at the beginning of your lab.

This is the next chapter of your lab book for the semester. Each Lab Assignment is a new chapter in your lab book.

Your lab book chapter each week should include:

  • Cover Page
  • Abstract
  • Introduction of the lab assignment
  • Screenshots that dialogue your lab experience/ what you learned during the exercise
  • Conclusion of the lab assignment
  • Independent Research – expanding the topic.. ( For example this week, we are focusing on the VM, an appropriate expansion may be discussing why we use a VM, uses of VM’s, history of VM’s, NextGen VM’s… etc)

What are the challenges of piracy in the 21st century and what are the legal frameworks aimed to deal with the threat of piracy?

What are the challenges of piracy in the 21st century and what are the legal frameworks aimed to deal with the threat of piracy?

The threat of piracy did not end in the early modern period. Piracy simply changed its form and evolved to deal with modern sea voyage and contemporary movement of goods. In this week’s post, begin with describing the modern problem of piracy then state what are the legal measures International Maritime law has developed to deal with this problem. Do you think these measures are sufficient or do you think there is room to develop more legal doctrines to combat modern piracy?

Research to determine how encryption in transit or encryption at rest would better protect data against this type of crime

Why is state-sponsored espionage more concerning than traditional corporate espionage?

Research to determine how encryption in transit or encryption at rest would better protect data against this type of crime?  What are the elements of a defense in depth strategy to manage the potential risk?  What access models and tools will further data security in the corporate environment (and what would you recommend)?

Please prepare an original posting early in the conference week and dialogue with at minimum three of your peers’ posts through the conference week. You must make your initial post before you are able to view the posts of your peers.

Community collaborations

Community collaborations are complex activities of interagency collaboration with stakeholder participation. What are three ethical issues for consideration in community collaboration? What strategies can be used to support ethical conduct in these areas? Support your work with literature.

Marketing research

Marketing research is an important aspect of marketing planning and understanding consumer choice. Primary research helps the organization determine its target market and understand how likely they are to adopt a product or service. It is also a way to learn what is important to consumers. Secondary research helps the organization learn about industry and market issues and trends and how they relate to the organization.

The COSO framework of internal controls

The COSO framework of internal controls is practiced within companies around the world. The objectives of the COSO framework are closely related to its five components. For this week’s activity, please discuss these five components of the COSO framework. Be sure to include each components’ impact on each of the COSO framework objectives. What do you feel an auditor would most be concerned with during an IT audit? Lastly, discuss suggestions for integrating COSO framework compliance into a company in which you are familiar.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately four to six pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. The UC Library is a great place to find resources.

• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.
