Need this research paper by Thursday USA time. (5 days from now).

5 pages without references and Title page. Follow APA 7 format and citations.

Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack against a computer or network that checks for exploitable vulnerabilities. Pen tests can involve attempting to breach application systems, APIs, servers, inputs, and code injection attacks to reveal vulnerabilities. In a well-written, highly-detailed research paper, discuss the following:

  • What is penetration testing
  • Testing Stages
  • Testing Methods
  • Testing, web applications and firewalls

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

  • Be approximately 4-6 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
  • Follow APA 7 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. 
  • Be clear and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Fireboy and Watergirl: Online on the App Store

Fireboy and Watergirl are an exciting series of adventure games developed by Oslo Albet and Jan Villanueva. 

Fire, Water, Forest, Ice, Light, Wind, and Crystal, seven brand new temples for the official Fireboy and Watergirl series. 

In each temple the boy and girl must run and jump between fire and water, you should know that Fireboy is immune to fire, so he can step freely in pools of boiling lava, but he must be careful from stepping into the water. 

Watergirl is resistant to pools of water but gets hurt when stepping in the lava. 

Let us join with two main characters on the journey to remote, dangerous temples, to seek unimaginable wealth. 

The temple is full of sparkling diamonds waiting to be discovered only by the bravest. 

Solve the puzzles, beat the times, and collect all the diamonds! 

What are you waiting for? 

Update Fireboy and Watergirl full series.

Use the W-A-S-D keys to control the Watergirl.

Use the Arrow keys to control the Fireboy.

Homework in R

 

In this homework, you will do some data analysis using R for the Forest Fire Data described https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/forest+fires (Links to an external site.) The dataset is used to find the relationship between the burned area of forest fires and meteorological data.

Please provide your output only in .HTML format. Do not send the .rmd file.

I have already downloaded the forest fires data and added it to the files section.

https://classroom.ucsc-extension.edu/files/1144259/download?download_frd=1

  1. Import the data into R.
  • How many observations are there in the dataset?
  • How many observations are there with a fire (i.e., area>0)
  • How many observations are there with a rain (i.e., rain>0)
  • How many observations are there with both a fire and a rain?

 2.Show the columns month, day, area of the all the observations.

 3. Show the columns month, day, area of the observations with a fire.

 4.How large are the five largest fires (i.e., having largest area)

 a.What are the corresponding month, temp, RH,wind, rain area?

 b.Add one column to the data indicating whether a fire occurred for each   observation (True for area >0 and False for area ==0) (Use Mutate function)

5.Create the following to display the outliers from the below vector.

    -plot 

   – boxplot

Also mention the numbers that are outliers in this vector.

(1,2,50,45,67,200,230,55,56,49)

6. Using the dplyr approach, perform the following actions from ‘iris’

  a) select the columns  Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width, Petal.Length,Petal.Width

 b) filter the iris data for Species = “setosa” or “virginica”

ms08-067 exploit using metasploit

Based on the vulnerabilities found via nmap, use Metasploit to compromise the Windows XP machine. Gain shell access and transfer a file of your choice from the target machine to your Kali machine. Also, perform a remote screen capture using Metasploit of the compromised machine. You will need to use an auxiliary module to do this. Finally, install the persistence Meterpreter service. Be sure to document each step you take with both screen shots and descriptions of the commands employed. Tip: In metasploit you can use “search” keyword to find the exact vulnerability and payload you want to use Tip 2: You can exploit any vulnerability on the WinXP machine, but MS08-067 works very well.

 What to Submit: Provide a report of your work. For each task, give a complete description of your steps, include all commands used, the reason why each command was used, and screenshots of the steps employed during your attack using the Metasploit framework. Perform screen captures of both the Metasploit and target machine, show the commands used and results to prove that you have accomplished each of the following steps:  PAGE 3 OF 3 [20 pts] Obtain shell access to the Windows XP machine using the Meterpreter payload and set all necessary Metasploit options correctly. [10 pts] Transfer a file of your choice from the target machine to your Kali machine. [10 pts] Perform a remote screen capture of the compromised machine using Metasploit. This can be done in various ways; one way is to using an auxiliary module. [20 pts] Install the persistence Meterpreter service on the Windows XP machine that will automatically connect back when the system boots. Reboot the Windows XP machine and show that it automatically connects back to the Kali machine.

5-1 Discussion: E-Commerce

 In this module, we have explored the surge of e-commerce and the escalation of online contracts. How has the evolution of the internet piloted the growth of e-contracts? With the implementation of legislation, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN Act) and the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), what is the impact and significance of digital signatures in cyberspace?

Finally, in responding to your peers’ posts, discuss the validity of e-contracts within an information technology business model. What are the boundaries of e-contracts? Offer suggestions on how your peers can protect contracts that fall outside the boundaries.
