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

main discussion

 Discuss the major issues in classification model overfitting. Give some examples to illustrate your points. 

requirement: code must be done in C

Add a new built-in exit command that exits from your shell with the exit() system call. Also add support for signal handling and terminal control (Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z). You do not want those signals to terminate your shell. Instead you need to handle them and terminate processes that your shell started if any. Be aware that forked processes will inherit the signal handlers of the original process.

 A database management system is an application that provides users with the means to manipulate, analyze, and query data. Almost all DBMSs in existence today are developed to be used with relational databases.  Describe in a minimum 2-page essay (about 1,000 words, double spaced, APA format) a DBMS that you have dealt with at a company, or as a customer.  How was it used to help you access the data?

Do not use attachments as a submission. 

Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.   You should make your initial post by Thursday evening so your classmates have an opportunity to respond before Sunday.at midnight when all three posts are due. 

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to your work to write about.  Please do not submit attachments unless requested.
