Summative Discussion Board

Review and reflect on the knowledge that you have gained from this course. Based on your review and reflection, write at least 3 paragraphs that address the following:

• How will you continue to grow your  skills in quantitative analysis?
• How has this course changed your  perception of use of the quantitative method for dissertation research?
• What approaches could have yielded  additional valuable information? 

The main post should include at least 1 reference to research sources, and all sources should be cited using APA format.

Topics Discussed in this Course

IBM SPSS tool 

Quantitative research

Categorical Variablke Analysis 

Survey Analaysis

Variable and types of variance

Measure of Central tendency and spread

Corelation and Regression Analysis and Effect Size

Linear Regression Analysis

Quantitative literature review

For the final project, you will be conducting a forensics investigation using one of the following items:

1. A smartphone
2. A network (ideally, a wireless network)

 You may use either for your investigation. However, be aware of legal issues surrounding your data gathering. If you are using any system you do not personally control and have authority to investigate/discover, please get written permission from the owner/operator of the system or refrain from your forensics analysis of that systems and use a personal system. For a network, you can use your own personal home network. For a smartphone, consider using an image from the Internet or a personal device. There could be issues related to using a live, active, personal device (example: corruption of the device). If using a personal device, consider using an old, outdated phone, if available.

 You will review various forensics tools used with your selected system. Select a tool and use that tool to gather forensics data for analysis. You are simulating the process of gathering this data, so you do not need to investigate a compromised device or system. The project deliverables are as follows:

 Week 7 – Prepare an investigative report of the forensics data capture conducted using the tool selected for this purpose. The paper should provide the following information: 

• Executive Summary of your investigation, including a description of the device or systems and the tool used for the forensics analysis
• Step-by-step description you used to gather data for analysis
• Report on the information that was obtainable from the device
• Graphics evidence that you conducted the forensics data gathering and analysis

 The paper should be in a form that would be used for reporting to a court or a law enforcement agency. Be sure to provide graphics evidence of your forensics investigation effort (Screenshots, reports, etc.). References should be in APA format.

 Summarize what you have learned over the last 9 weeks. Has it changed your opinion about technology? Do you believe technology will continue to evolve? What businesses should concerned about being “phased” out due to new technology?

Briefly respond to all the following questions. Make sure to explain and backup your responses with facts and examples. This assignment should be in APA format and have to include at least two references.

Provide your thoughts and understanding of requirements:
1. Who consumes requirements?
2. Getting security requirements implemented.
3. Why do good requirements go bad?

 PowerPoint of the Slides is attached below.

Check the slides “OS Security II,” pg. 4-8. You are to implement a Dictionary Attack with and without Password Salt program in either C/C++ or Python.

If you are not familiar with measuring execution time in C++, see the following website:

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/measure-execution-time-function-cpp/

If you are not familiar with measuring execution time in Python, see the following website:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1557571/how-do-i-get-time-of-a-python-programs-execution

See the following steps.

1. Accept a user password of length N as keyboard input to your program. You can determine your own length N.

2. Compute the hash of the password from step 1.

Your hash function H() is simply the checksum. (See Assignment 2)

3. Now you become an attacker and try to find the password of length N.

Try every combination of length N password and for each combination, compute the hash and compare to the hash of the password from step 2.

Measure execution time.

4. Now let’s reinforce our password using the password salt. Accept an arbitrary non-negative integer number as keyboard input to your program.

5. Compute the hash of the concatenated password salt and password from step 4 and step 1. To compute the password salt portion of the checksum, you can treat the entire password salt as EITHER a single integer OR multiple one-byte integers.

6. Now you become an attacker and try to find the concatenated password salt and password.

Try every combination of an arbitrary non-negative integer number and length N password and for each combination, compute the hash and compare to the hash from step 5.

Measure execution time.

NOTE: your program should have separate functions for the checksum and the two dictionary attacks with and without the password salt by the attacker.

 Explain your program appropriately using comments the source code. 

Discuss in 500 words your opinion whether Edward Snowden is a hero or a criminal.  Include at least one quote enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line.

As the HU Investment Firm cybercrime expert, you are required to create a Cybercrime Risk Assessment.  The overall cybercrime risk assessment can be outlined with a minimum of two to three sentence descriptions of what the outline will cover under each section.

• Ensure that you provide information for three specific risks for each section. For example, three High, three Medium, and three Low.
• You will want to take into consideration that HU Financial Firm is a legal firm. 
• Items to think about would be the possibility of a natural disaster occurring or a cybercrime attack. 
• You will want to rank the possibility of an incident happening from high to low as identified in the sample template in this section, which has been provided for you.
• Additional information can be reviewed under the course reference links and research on the internet.

PLEASE USE THIS INFORMATION TO FILL OUT ATTACHED DOCUMENT.

Please add proper introduction and support the already existing content with a good example in the description.Also help to add proper citations and provide 7 APA references.

Compose and submit well-written paragraphs that contain a minimum of 200 words, which address the following: 

Assume you are a network administrator in your organization, describe the most cost-effective ways to secure your organization’s connection to the outside world. Briefly discuss the risk assessment components necessary to secure the organization’s asset (in this case, data).

The post should include adequate citations and references that adhere strictly to the APA format.

Note : Please write Research paper in APA 7 format 

This week’s journal article was focused on how information and communication innovation drives change in educational settings. The key focus of the article was how technology-based leadership has driven the digital age.  Also, that the role of technology leadership incorporates with the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).In this paper, address the following key concepts:

1. Define TAM and the components.
2. Note how TAM is impacting educational settings.
3. Give an overview of the case study presented and the findings.

Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research.  Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.The paper should meet the following requirements:

• 3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)
• APA guidelines must be followed.  The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

The writing should be clear and concise.  Headings should be used to transition thoughts.  Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.
