Scenario

Your new manager comes to you and asks you that he keeps hearing about read/write blockers for forensic imaging. He’s not sure what that is. He also is confused because he’s heard that there’s two different types (software and hardware). Also, there’s commercial and open source tools. He knows you just took a course in digital forensics so he asks you to prepare a memo for him explaining all that.

Your assignment

  1. Research on what is a forensic read/write blocker and what is the difference between a hardware and a software version?
  2. Research on what tools are available e.g. commercial (you buy) or open-source (free) and what types are available.
  3. Identify some situations where it makes sense to use the hardware versions or when it makes sense to use software versions?
  4. Put it all together and summarize it for your manager! No more than 2 pages please.

What this teaches you

Being familiar with what tools the investigator used will help you. You gain credibility by asking what hardware or software tools they used, how they deployed it and why they went with a hardware or software version.

  • Make sure the zipped file has a .zip extension (not .tar, .rar, .7z, etc.)
  • Part 2 to be submitted on zyBooks. Make sure you remove the package name from your files before submitting.

Objectives:

  • Use inheritance to create base and child classes
  • Utilize multiple classes in the same program
  • Perform standard input validation
  • Implement a solution that uses polymorphism

Problem:A small electronics company has hired you to write an application to manage their inventory. The company requested a role-based access control (RBAC) to increase the security around using the new application. The company also requested that the application menu must be flexible enough to allow adding new menu items to the menu with minimal changes. This includes re-ordering the menu items and making changes to the description of a menu item without having to change the code.Security:The company has suggested to start the application by prompting the user for a username and password to authenticate the user. There are two types of users at this company, managers and employees. If managers log on to the application, they will see all options on the menu list. If employees log on to the application, they will see a limited set of options on the menu list. User information is stored in Users.dat file, which may or may not exist at the start of the program. A super user “admin” with password “admin” has already been hardcoded in the program to allow for the initial setup and the creation of other users. The Users.dat file contains the FirstName, LastName, Username (case insensitive), HashedPassword and a flag to indicate whether a user is a manager or not. The file is comma separated and it is formatted as follows:

Joe, Last, jlast, 58c536ed8facc2c2a293a18a48e3e120, true

Sam, sone, samsone, 2c2a293a18a48e3e12058c536ed8facc, false

Jane, Best, jbest, 293a18a48e3e12052058c536ed8facc2c, false


Note: Ensure that the ‘AddUser’ function does not add duplicate values, and the ‘ChangePassword’ function does not change password if username/password is entered incorrectly. If adding a new user or changing the password is successful, return true, or else return false.Application Menu:The menu of the application is dynamically loaded and displayed to the user only after the user successfully logs on. The menu items will be loaded from file “MenuList.dat”, which may or may not exist at the start of the application. If the file doesn’t exist, the application should show at least an Exit menu item as default. The file will contain all menu items details, including the name of the command that will be executed when the menu item is selected. If a menu item is marked as restricted (Boolean flag), only managers can see that item. The file contains the following comma separated fields, Description, a Boolean flag to indicate if the option is restricted to managers only, and the name of the menu command that will be executed when the option is chosen. The order and option number of a menu item may change depending on how they are listed in the file. The Exit option will always be listed last and it will not be in the file. Below is a sample of how the MenuList.dat file looks like:

Add User, true, AddUserCommand

Delete User, true, DeleteUserCommand

Change Password, false, ChangePasswordCommand

Add New Product, true, AddProductCommand


Note: The command name of each menu item must match the name of the class that you will create in the code (See AddProductCommand class in the code for example).Inventory:The inventory consists of multiple products of type Product stored in class ProductCatalog. The ProductCatalog is responsible of all inventory operations that add, remove, find and update a product. When printing a product information, the product retail price should be calculated and displayed as well. Retail price = (cost + (margin * cost/100)). A list of functions has been added to this class in the provided code template. You must implement all listed functions. The inventory products will be saved in file Inventory.dat, which may or may not exist when the program first starts. The file will contain the product unique id (int), product name (string), cost (double), quantity (int) and margin (int, integer that represents margin percentage). The Inventory.dat file is comma separated and formatted as follows:

3424, Smart Watch, 20.45, 23, 80

65454, Flat Screen TV, 465.98, 15, 35

435, Computer Monitor, 123.54, 84, 43


Program Flow:

  • Program starts in main() method
  • Prompt user for username and password
  • Authenticate user and maintain the logged-on user object
  • Load inventory
  • Load and create menu list
  • Display menu list and prompt the user for option

Data Classification and Data Loss Prevention

 

Before you begin: review the information provided in this resource: https://www.pic.gov/sites/default/files/RACI%20Chart%20Overview%20v2.pdf

It takes a team of individuals throughout an organization who work together to safeguard the integrity and confidentiality of data resources. But, how does an organization know that it has enough people in the right roles performing the right tasks to ensure that digital assets will be protected from loss or harm?

The RACI matrix is a tool that can be used to outline the various roles and responsibilities required to provide this protection. For this discussion, you will prepare a RACI matrix that outlines roles of key players in the organization who have data protection responsibilities (i.e. asset security and data protection). Your matrix should specifically address executives (C-level), managers, supervisors, employees. The tasks that you should address are: generating information, using information, classifying information, and managing / using / implementing data loss prevention technologies.

After you have completed your chart, write a brief discussion of responsibilities for each role listed in the rows of your chart. Each role should be addressed in a separate paragraph.

Combine your matrix and your narrative descriptions into a briefing paper for a working group that has been charged with reviewing and improving the company’s data classification business processes. Post your paper in the body of your reply to this topic.

Provide in-text citations and references for 3 or more authoritative sources. Put the reference list at the end of your posting. Use a consistent and professional style for your citations and reference list entries. (Hanging indent is NOT required.)
