Scope of Work for Penetration Test Assignment Requirements: You work for EGS Testing Solutions; your company is involved in testing related to access control systems. A large, private fitness club contacted your company because their Web server was hacked. The fitness club has a corporate office with 50 workstations, 4 application servers, 2 e-mail servers, 2 Web servers, and 129 franchisees with 10 workstations and about 3,500 members at each location. Except for the equipment at the franchisees’ locations, all other equipment resides at the central headquarters. The fitness club was unsure whether the Web server hacking took place because of the former administrator, who quit under less than amenable circumstances, or if an external party had found their “Achilles heel.” The perpetrator was able to access the corporate Web server by using the remote login of the Microsoft (MS) Windows network administrator. Once the hack was realized, the administrator was forced to shut down the connections to all their 129 franchisees that needed access to the corporate Web server. The franchisees require access to the Web server to review their customers’ personal information, fitness progress, and goals as well as to share information with the corporate headquarters in a secure manner. Members and club staff also make periodic payments for dues and services using this system, including credit card payments. Your company has been engaged to provide a cost-effective solution that would allow the new administrator to do the following: Control access to resources by preventing unauthorized users from logging in to privileged areas. Audit and review user activities to prevent future hacks that could compromise network integrity. Change the existing system to strengthen it as necessary. Add technology, as necessary, to detect security breaches. To be able to develop a cost-effective solution, your company must focus on developing a reasonable and cost-effective testing plan to identify any weaknesses in the network. Develop a comprehensive and ongoing vulnerability and penetration test plan. Include solutions in the test plan for unauthorized access in the corporate workstations, application servers, mail and Web servers, and wireless routers.

THE GIFT OF MAGI by William Porter aka O. Henry https://www.auburn.edu/~vestmon/Gift_of_the_Magi.html Describe the core conflict represented in the story. Describe the theme of the story. Select three literary elements/techniques in the story and describe them. Explain how the elements/techniques illustrate the theme and conflict expressed in the story.

Scenario

Ok, Lead Surgeon, it is time to do what you do best! There is a lot at stake. The decision must be made almost immediately. Like all actions, you will need to write your decision into medical documentation before you begin. Yes, that means YOU! In the limited time before you would begin surgery, you need to consider the cases; the technical issues involved also, and write a Memorandum for the Record to document what decision you made and what considerations you included in your process. This will be on the record, so it needs to be thorough in case it needs to justify your actions at a later date.

Role

You are the Lead Surgeon in a major hospital, and by virtue of your seniority you are also the key decision maker for transplant cases. Right now you have three people who are waiting and hoping for a suitable heart to become available. Your cell phone rings suddenly, and you are notified that a heart has become available-meaning that you need to make a quick yet sound decision about which patient will receive the heart and then schedule surgery for today

Jerry – Male, 55 year old family man, mid-level manage

· Jerry, a father of 3 children and at the age of 55, is in the Ward awaiting a suitable heart for transplanting. His wife Joanie is a stay at home mother with no education beyond high school and no career. Jerry is the middle level manager at a carpet distributing business and 5 year short of his retirement eligibility. Jerry and Joanie have three teenage children aged 14, 16, and 19. The 19 year old is a sophomore at college; the 14 year old is mildly autistic, and the 16 year old is an astronaut wannabe. If Jerry gets the heart, his chances of living another 10-15 years are very high. His heart is damaged due to the use of steroids in his early 20s when he was involved with bodybuilding before the dangers of steroid use were fully known.

Lisa – Female, 12 year old lifelong health issues

· Lisa is one of those precocious girls – a doll-like girl at the edge of becoming a teenager. She reads voraciously and yet likes the activities of a younger girl playing with her Barbie Doll. She has suffered health issues all her life due to various viral infections and a lupus-like immune deficiency. Her heart was damaged during a nasty bout with pneumonia last year and actually stopped for a brief period. Her mother knew to begin CPR on her or she would have died there. Even with a transplant, her chances of surviving into her 20s are not good. She is the only child in the family, and they cannot bear more children. Her parents will do anything for her, and they have offered to donate $2 million to the hospital's construction of specialized facilities if she can get a heart soon enough. Her father is also a noted oncologist working in the same hospital but in a different department.

Ozzy – Male, 38 year old homeless drug abuser

· Ozzy is a single 38 year old man with no family. He has lived homeless and in shelters for at least a decade. He was brought to the Hospital through the work of a local charity that assists such men with no assets or insurance. His heart condition is due to continued abuse and overdosing of crack cocaine, and without a transplant he will not live out the month. In recent months, has become involved with troubled teens at a local homework and tutoring hangout, and he has provided the wisdom and insight that only an abuser can know about where life can go. He has signed a contract with the same charity that, if he gets the transplant, he will continue working at the after-school homework hangout as a counselor-mentor for at least one year after the transplant. With the transplant and successful staying off the drugs, he could live another 10 years – maybe more. Recidivism is a severe risk with his history of abuse, and if he returns to using crack he would quickly damage the new heart and die within months.

Dr. Doe – Male, 35 year old Lisa's Dad, the oncologist

· Dr. Jonathan Doe is Lisa's father. He has offered the hospital $2 Million Dollars in exchange that his daughter gets the heart transplant. He is an up-and-coming oncologist in the same hospital. He is loyal and totally committed to Lisa; while not obnoxious and pushy, his presence is keenly felt around the professional community in the Hospital and there is a need for his $2 Million.

Deliverable

Your assignment is to make the decision using utilitarian ethics–as this week's classwork and discussions have brought you that skill–and then to write it up in the form of a Memorandum for the hospital records. Remember that this record could be reviewed by the Peer Review Committee or the Hospital Trustees at a later date. This is Utilitarian Week in our course. Employ what you have learned from J. S. Mill and Utilitarianism this week AND one other of our course's ethicists (of your choice) from earlier weeks. The Memorandum should be at least two double-spaced pages with a maximum of three pages, in memorandum form, ready to become an official item of record.

PSC 600: Project Description and Scoring Guide Operating Systems Research Paper Overview The final project for this course is the creation of a research paper. Based on the knowledge obtained in this course and previous coursework, you will examine a topic relevant to operating systems based on theory and practice. You are expected to identify a particular topic relevant to operating systems, investigate the topic through extensive literature search and deep synthesis, and produce a scholarly paper. You should discuss specific research interests with the instructor so there is agreement on the suitability of the project. Make sure to include topics discussed throughout this course. One of the following project types is acceptable for this course: • Exploratory investigation of a topic: Carry out an extensive examination of an operating system problem through literature review, analysis, and concept synthesis. • Evaluation: Conduct an evaluation of an operating system technology, design, or tools used in operating system management. Comparative evaluations of two or more similar tools or technologies are acceptable.
