Overview
In this lab, a systems administrator for
the securelabsondemand.com network has reported odd behavior on two servers
that support legacy applications you first conducted internal penetration tests
(also called a vulnerability scan) on each system and then helped secure those
systems by configuring firewalls and removing vulnerable open ports.

Overview
The first phase of hacking is the
footprinting phase, which is designed to passively gain information about a
target. In this lab, you performed technical research against three web domains
using Internet search tools. You collected public domain information about an
organization using the Google search engine to uncover information available on
the Internet. Finally, you recorded the information you uncovered in a research
paper, describing how this information can make an organization vulnerable to
hackers.
Lab Assessment Questions & Answers
1.
What information can you
obtain by using the WHOIS tool contained within Sam Spade?
2.
Besides the WHOIS utility
covered in this lab, what other functions did you discover are possible with
the Sam Spade utility?
3.
What is the purpose of the
tracert command? What useful information does the trace route tool provide?
How can this information be used to attack the targeted website?
4.
Is Sam Spade an intrusive
tool? What is your perspective on the use of a freeware utility such as Sam
Spade?
5.
By its nature, WHOIS
information must be publicly available. What do you think companies and
organizations should do with regard to this information?
6.
How can you find out who is the
CEO of a company?
7.
What is the goal when trying
to use a search engine for data gathering or footprinting?
8.
Based upon the information
you uncovered, who are the primary technical contacts for the apples.com,
oranges.com and bananas.com domains?
9.
Where do you think the servers
are located that host the apples.com, oranges.com and bananas.com domains? Provide
evidence to support your claims.
10.

bananas.com domains?

Ashford 2: – Week 1 – Discussion 1The entire content of this course is to understand and be aware of costs and value in a project. Express one particular cost issue that you have seen as a project manager or team member that affected the project either positively or negatively. Clearly identify what was done to rectify the issue and describe the impact to the project. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.Ashford 2: – Week 1 – Discussion 2A fundamental topic for the success of a project is the management of scope. The original scope of a project has cost assumptions to ensure project success. Provide a specific example from your experience or from examples in the text where a change in scope can impact the project financials. If you were the sponsor of this project, would you approve the change in scope knowing what you do now? Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.

According to the book, why was Hiroshima such an ideal target for American bombing? Section Two: Discuss the experiences of one of the central characters in this book. Explain what you think the author’s purpose was in telling so many individual anecdotes about life before the bomb. Section Three: List and describe some of the side effects from radiation sickness. Section Four: Explain why the medical and rescue efforts had so little impact on the survivors’ behalf, immediately following the blast. ***Include at least three direct, block quotes from Hiroshima to support your position. Be sure to cite these quotations in parentheses and in all caps. For example, your citation might look like this:

cost of capital is 12%, which project should be selected? If the cost of capital is 18%, what project
is the proper choice? @ 12% cost of capital @ 18% cost

Excel’s NPV function as explained in this chapter’s Tool Kit. Note that the range does not include the
costs, which are added separately. WACC = 12% WACC = 18% NPV A = NPV

B = At a cost of capital of 12%, Project A should be
selected. However, if the cost of
capital rises to 18%, then the choice is reversed, and Project B should be
accepted. b. Construct NPV
profiles for Projects A and B. Before we can graph the NPV profiles for these projects, we
must create a data table of project NPVs relative to differing costs of
capital. Project
