White Hat
Ethical hacking is the act of having individuals who are professionals on how computer and networks systems work seek vulnerabilities and deficiencies in a network computer's security system so that they may know how and what other computer hackers can and cannot break into (Bishop 2007). This type of hacking is done so that companies themselves could know what information is more vulnerable than others, and how secure their security systems actually are. Ethical hackers attempt to break into data systems in a non-malicious way so that they may know how much others who do have bad intentions can access (Palmer 2001). The individual who conducts this ethical hacking is sometimes referred to as a "white hat" as opposed to a "black hat" which are both references from Western movies depicting the "good guy" and the "bad guy." In order for a network to be truly secure, it must be thoroughly examined through the perspective of an illegal hacker, and that is what an ethical hacker does (Caldwell 2011).
The objective of an ethical hacker is to test every type of vulnerability that a network system could have. In order to do this, ethical hackers need to first familiarize themselves with the entire network and its functionalities. An ethical hacker will need to hack into the network and break into their system as the first step in their ethical hacking process (Bishop 2007). After the break...
As a final step in their ethical hacking process, they would determine whether the hacked system would alert those affected by the hacking, and in what way these hacking processes could be avoided in the future (Palmer 2001).
Legal issues that ethical hackers have to deal with can become a bit blurry when dealing with the issue of hacking. Hacking is illegal period. This act of hacking is punishable by federal law. Ethical hackers however, get away with it. It is an illegal process, but at the end of the day, it is something that is needed (Whitman 2011). Another legal issue that ethical hackers deal with is not only doing the actual hacking, but the fact that they are exposing themselves as hackers, which again, is an illegal thing to do (Knight 2009). Technical issues that ethical hackers face is with their access to such confidential information. They can potentially get into so many private files, that this technical issue can also be considered a legal one (Whitman 2011). Another technical issue that ethical hackers face is that once they get access into a network system, it is not so much about what information has been accessed by them, but more of making the network more secure so that other people with bad intentions will not be able to do the same…

D.). The term "millinery" refers to hats that were produced in Milan at that time, but the name became more generalized after that. In England, millinery started to become fashionable around 1700. The word millinery has been used to refer specifically to women's hat making. Women's hats were different from men's hats in terms of their social function and their appearance. As social norms changed, so too did women's dress and
Edward De Bono's Creative Thinking Hats Throughout the course of human history one unique aspect of the human brain has allowed our species to survive and thrive on an unprecedented scale: the creative faculty. The power of original invention, the artistic spirit and the astounding ability of man to claim supremacy over the natural world are all functions of the brain's propensity to create. While decades of rigorous scientific study of
1. Which of the Six Thinking Hats do you use most often when making a decision? From your experiences, tell us two advantages you have given yourself when you have managed your emotions by looking at a challenge from different perspectives (such as the Debono model) while making decisions?a. From my experience, I find myself using the white hat associated with data analytics much more frequently. I personally have recently
Wyche agrees with this notion, adding that the station's position "between two sets of rails, whose significance lies 'in their figurative implications' (Renner qtd in Wyche 34), and between two contrasting landscapes that symbolize the couple's options" (Wyche). One side of the tracks, the landscape gives the couple the scene of the hills and the valley and on the other side of the tracks trees and grain flourish on
And so indeed, Chicago - and hence in the eyes of the world, America - accomplished this dramatic transition into the 20th Century with a lot of help and a big public relations push resulting from the World's Fair, albeit the ugly specter of a serial killer at work spoiled the party in many ways. Ugliness could easily come into the scene in Washington D.C., as well, and threaten to
difficulty, wealthy white American settlers created and dominated a stable plantation society in which slaves, Indians, and poorer whites accepted the justice of their subordination. There is sound evidence that slavery had spread through America long before 1776. Like a vile cancer, slavery spread throughout with the early settlers. As they arrived from Europe, white settlers began to push inward. As they moved into vast uncharted territories, they brought along
