Trees and Tags

Complete a program that is designed to read an XMl file, follow an XPath to a selected node, and then list all of the text content (ignoring attributes) in the subtree rooted at the selected node, in the order that the text appeared within the original XML file.

You will be provided with the bulk of the code for this program, including the input processing to read XML and convert it into a tree structure (declared in node.h).

Your task is to supply the functions declared in extraction.h:

  1. A function to walk the tree starting from its root, following an XPath to a desired node.
  2. A function to extract all of the text (in the leaves of the tree) in the tree, combining it into a single string with one or more blanks separating the text strings from different nodes.

Your bodies for these functions should be written in extraction.cpp.

To run the application program, supply two command line parameters. The first will designate an XML file and the second will be the XPath to the desired node.

Example 1

./xmlextract test0.html /html/body

will print

Hello world!

Example 2

./xmlextract test1.html /html/body/p[2]

will print

world!

Example 3

./xmlextract books1.xml /rdf:RDF/pgterms:etext/dc:creator

will print

Twain, Mark, 1835-1910

Example 4

./xmlextract books1.xml /rdf:RDF/pgterms:etext[3]

will print

Unit 8 lab

I need below paraphrased so that it shows less than 10% on turnitin.com. Please provide the report.

A VPN is a Virtual Private Network that enables a remote user to have control over a

networked server or system securely. There are 3 different types of VPN servers; a Tunnel VPN, a

Transport VPN, and a Passthrough VPN. In this week’s lab was all about the difference between

secure and non-secure file transfers as well as how to configure a VPN Client to work with a

PFsense VPN Server. This is extremely important to know because being able to safely transfer files

without having them intercepted is part of what we are learning in Cybersecurity. I had issues

setting up the connection properly and then connecting the PC to the VPN. Luckily I was able to

figure it out and the accomplishment of setting up the first connection and seeing that it is up and

running is great. I do want to learn how to input codes within the command prompt without

instructions. I feel like that the basics should be taught when learning these things. The second part

of the lab was also about the secure and non-secure transfer of files but went a little more in-depth

with Wireshark. I was able to analyze the traffic coming through the VPN server through the use of

Wireshark and the filter function which was able to separate all of that traffic to whatever I

specified. Overall I learned a lot through this lab. I hope in future classes we get a more in-depth

hands-on experience of setting up these servers.

 #Exp19_Access_Ch09_Cap – Trading Cards 1.0

Exp19_Access_Ch09_Cap – Trading Cards 1.0

Project Description:

You and your partner Stann Dupp have a small business selling  baseball cards online through eBay. As the more computer-savvy partner;  you created an Access database with records of the cards you have in  stock. As it turns out, Stann was attempting to manage the card  inventory and ended up modifying crucial aspects of the database that  impact the general operation of the database. You will reverse those  changes and create other safeguards to protect from this happening again  in the future. The database tables may already be normalized; however,  you will examine the tables to verify.

Start Access. Open the downloaded   Access database named Exp19_Access_Ch09_Cap_Trading_Cards.accdb.  Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the  filename. Save the file to the   location where you are storing your  files.

You   will first establish relationships between the Cards, Brands,  and Rarity   tables based on the common fields that they share.
 

  Open the Relationships window. Add the Cards,   Brands, and Rarity tables to the layout.

After   creating a relationship between two tables, you will enforce  referential   integrity, which ensures that the relationship will remain  intact if/when   data is updated in either table. Furthermore, you will  ensure that all   changes to the primary key in your Cards table will  be reflected in the foreign   keys that exist in the Rarity table by  selecting the Cascade Update Related   Fields option.
 

  Create a relationship between the Cards   and Rarity tables tables, ensuring   you check the Enforce Referential   Integrity and Cascade Update   Related Fields options for the relationship.

After   also establishing the relationship between the Cards and  Brands tables, in   the same manner, you will analyze the database to  identify any flaws in the   design as well as suggested low-risk  improvements that can be made to your   database.
 

  Create a relationship between the Cards   and Brands tables, ensuring you   check the Enforce Referential   Integrity and Cascade Update   Related Fields options for the relationship. Save, and close the   Relationships window. Open the Performance   Analyzer dialog box, under All Object Types, click Select All, and then click OK.   Note the idea to relate the Cards table to the others in the database. Close   the Performance Analyzer.

You   will now provide your users with a simple and intuitive way to add and edit   cards by creating a form.
 

  Create a new form based on the Cards   table using the Form tool. Save   the form as Add or Edit Cards.   Close the form.

Now   that you have the Add or Edit Cards form created, you can add  that and the   remaining forms to a Horizontal Tab navigation form. By  doing this, you will   create a one-stop-shop for your users to view and  edit the trading cards in   the database.
 

  Create a navigation form based on the Horizontal   Tabs template. Drag the Add or   Edit Cards form to the first tab position.

Drag   the All Player Cards report to the   second tab position.

Drag   the Bowman Cards report to the   third tab position.

Drag   the Donruss Cards report to the   fourth tab position.

Drag   the Fleer Cards report to the   fifth tab position.

Drag   the Topps Cards report to the   sixth tab position.

Switch   to Form view and test the navigation form. Save the navigation form with the   default name and close it.

You   will finalize the interface for your users by hiding the  Navigation Pane so   that it is out of their way, and setting the  navigation form you created to   open automatically when the database  opens. This ensures that the user’s   experience is seamless and  straightforward.
 

  Set the database to hide the Navigation Pane and open the  navigation form   when the database opens. Close the database and reopen  it observe that the   form opens automatically.

Close   all database objects. Close the database and then exit Access. Submit the   database as directed.

vuln assesment 2

 

Congratulations! Your boss, Judy “Mac” McNamara, thought you did a great job on your Vulnerability Management Process recommendation and analysis of the OpenVAS vulnerability report. However, the boss doesn’t think the free OpenVAS tool will provide the high-level presentation reporting and support needed by Mercury USA. Now, Judy would like you to evaluate the leading commercial vulnerability scanner, Nessus. Fortunately, Judy had asked someone in the IT department to install and configure a 30-day evaluation copy of Nessus. She hands you a recent Nessus report from IT that has a few more systems added, and with a wry smile adds, “It looks like there’s some really bad stuff in there!”

Judy would like you to provide an analysis of the report. You decide to highlight what you think the company should address first and how you would mitigate some of the top threats. In addition, Judy wants to know your thoughts on Nessus, since it’s expensive. You now realize that you need to ensure due diligence has been performed before making a purchase recommendation to executive management.

This week, you will submit the second project, VM Scanner Background Report, based on the Nessus Report. As you are writing your report, you may want to refer back to the CEO’s video in Week 1 to make sure your analysis and recommendations align with the CEO’s priorities and concerns.

You should link your analysis to the kinds of organizational functions and data associated with a transportation company (e.g., protecting order data, customer lists, sales leads, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance for processing credit, proprietary software, etc.) and provide your recommendation if Mercury USA should purchase the Nessus tool. This report should be four to six pages in length and include a title/cover page. Include in-text citations and a reference page with three quality sources in a citation style of your choice.

 

Delete the instructional text from the template before you submit.

Project overview:

 

Mercury USA is a small- and medium-sized business (SMB) in the transportation sector with 400 employees. 

You’ve just been hired by Mercury USA as the first cyber threat analyst on the team and will work within the existing Information Technology department. Mercury USA has an urgent interest in addressing security vulnerabilities.

Judy “Mac” McNamara, the manager of IT services, said the chief executive officer (CEO) recently learned via a mandatory breach disclosure that a competitor was a victim of ransomware. The firm in question lost a significant amount of intellectual property and customer data and is facing expensive litigation, government fines, and loss of customer confidence. These issues are likely to result in bankruptcy.

Thus, executive management would like to prevent Mercury USA’s critical data (e.g., order data, customer lists, sales leads, Payment Card Industry (PCI) compliance for processing credit, proprietary software) from falling into the wrong hands and threatening the survival of the business.
