Networks have changed drastically over the last 30 years.  With the first introduction of the 56k modem, which was about 3 typewriter pages per second, to speeds well over 1Gbps these days, the ability to use networks globally, has changed the way we do business.  Using research, determine where networks will go in the next 5-10 years and how that might impact the global economy.

Welcome to the United States Geological Survey, or USGS for short! The USGS is responsible for providing scientific data about natural hazards, the health of our ecosystems and environment; and the impacts of climate and land-use change. Their scientists develop new methods and tools to supply timely, relevant, and useful information about the Earth and its processes. As a new hire, you will be helping them out with an exciting new project!

The USGS is interested in building a new set of tools that will allow them visualize their earthquake data. They collect a massive amount of data from all over the world each day, but they lack a meaningful way of displaying it. Their hope is that being able to visualize their data will allow them to better educate the public and other government organizations (and hopefully secure more funding..) on issues facing our planet.

Before You Begin

1. Create a new repository for this project called leaflet-challenge. Do not add this homework to an existing repository.
2. Clone the new repository to your computer.
3. Inside your local git repository, create a directory for the Leaflet challenge. Use the folder names to correspond to the challenges: Leaflet-Step-1 and Leaflet-Step-2.
4. This homeworks utilizes both html and Javascript so be sure to add all the necessary files. These will be the main files to run for analysis.
5. Push the above changes to GitHub or GitLab.

Your Task

Level 1: Basic Visualization

Your first task is to visualize an earthquake data set.

1. Get your data set
   
   The USGS provides earthquake data in a number of different formats, updated every 5 minutes. Visit the USGS GeoJSON Feed ( https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/feed/v1.0/geojson.php )page and pick a data set to visualize. When you click on a data set, for example ‘All Earthquakes from the Past 7 Days’, you will be given a JSON representation of that data. You will be using the URL of this JSON to pull in the data for our visualization.
   
2. Import & Visualize the Data
   Create a map using Leaflet that plots all of the earthquakes from your data set based on their longitude and latitude.
    

Level 2: More Data 

The USGS wants you to plot a second data set on your map to illustrate the relationship between tectonic plates and seismic activity. You will need to pull in a second data set and visualize it along side your original set of data. Data on tectonic plates can be found at https://github.com/fraxen/tectonicplates.

In this step we are going to..

• Plot a second data set on our map.
• Add a number of base maps to choose from as well as separate out our two different data sets into overlays that can be turned on and off independently.
• Add layer controls to our map.
  • Your data markers should reflect the magnitude of the earthquake in their size and color. Earthquakes with higher magnitudes should appear larger and darker in color.
  • Include popups that provide additional information about the earthquake when a marker is clicked.
  • Create a legend that will provide context for your map data.
  • Your visualization should look something like the map above.

Assessment

Your final product will be assessed on the following metrics:

• Completion of assigned tasks
• Visual appearance
• Professionalism

Good luck!

Learn About creating good password security.

An IT Security consultant has made three primary recommendations regarding passwords:

1. Prohibit guessable passwords
   • such as common names, real words, numbers only
   • require special characters and a mix of caps, lower case, and numbers in passwords
2. Reauthenticate before changing passwords
   • user must enter old PASSWORD before creating a new one
3. Make authenticators unforgeable 
   • do not allow email or user ID as password

Using WORD, write a brief paper of 300 words explaining each of these security recommendations. Do you agree or disagree with these recommendations. Would you change, add or delete any of these?  Add additional criteria as you see necessary.

Note your Safe Assign score. Continue submitting until your Safe Assign score is less than 25. You have three attempts to complete your assignment.

A three-tier web application architecture has been generically defined as the presentation, business logic, and data storage tiers. However, Amazon Web Services defines the three-tier web application architecture as the web, application, and storage/database tiers.

Write a paper comparing the generic three-tier web application architecture to that applied by Amazon Web Services.

Apply APA Edition 6 formatting.

Use at least three properly documented references (do NOT use wikis).

Correctly cite your references using APA Edition 6 formatting.Your paper should be at least 500 words in length using good grammar.

Answer the following questions:

1) Explain the use of a Flasher Box

2) Why would the investigator be considered with EEPROM?

3) Explain the important points in evaluating dates and times on a device?

Your response to the DQ must be a minimum of 400 words. You must provide references for your response (APA format). You will need to reply to two (2) other fellow student’s posts (See the syllabus). The

Please narrate and stake screenshots while doing lab like it says in instruction in PDF

This lab will be done in the SEED lab VM. (Lab pdf, notes, and c code file attached.)

• Shellshock
• Environment variables
• Function definition in Bash
• Apache and CGI programs

Note: You may need to change void main() to int main() in the C code.

The submission is a lab report that includes screenshots of the steps and a narrative of what is happening.

There are two submissions in case anything goes wrong with the first.
