What av or malware software do you use

What av or malware software do you use

Software Engineering

Because of the recent DDoS attack on Rutgers computers – taking down their
internet, I thought it might be a good idea to discuss safety and security
online.

What is a DDoS attack?

DDoS is the common abbreviation for a Distributed Denial of Service attack
which is what probably happened at Rutgers. Think of it like what happened
during SuperStorm Sandy and nobody could get through on their cell phones or
for the people that get stuck every day in traffic trying to get through the
Lincoln Tunnel. There are too many people trying to access the same thing at
the same time.
Here is a short video that explains it further:

What happened at Rutgers?

If you aren’t up on the story, here is a good summary:

What should you be aware of?

Chances are unless you are running a business, you probably won’t be a target
of a DDoS attack. However, if you don’t update your computer, run anti-virus
and mal-ware programs, you might become part of the botnet without you knowing
it.

What can you do?

Run and update anti-virus programs on your computers, tablets and cell phones.
yes, there are FREE ones that are pretty good.

Run a mal-ware detector. Malware Bytes is the FREE one that I use

Never, never share passwords and make sure your password is STRONG.

Update/patch the software on your computer regularly.

This list is not comprehensive, but it’s just to get you thinking about it.

Discussion Board Assignment

Please watch the video and review the article.

Please take a look at the OnGuard Online website.

Q1. What AV or Malware software do you use? Please include what type of device
or OS (Windows, Mac, Android)

Q2. Share with us three tips you have for protecting yourself online. Use
examples to illustrate your tip, if possible.

Please provide a reference/source (formatted in MLA style) that supports at
least one of your tips.

No duplicates allowed. For example, I already mentioned Malware Bytes. You can
mention that you use it, but that can’t be the only one you mention. You can
comment/reply to your peers agreeing or disagreeing with their tip, but first
one to post, gets the credit for the “original”

Explain the first three steps of sdlc as we discussed

Explain the first three steps of sdlc as we discussed

 

Software Engineering

A. In your own words, list and explain the first three steps of SDLC as we
discussed them in class. Pick an example IT project (you can make something
up) and list the results of applying the first three steps to your project
(what would be accomplished in each step?)

B. Although it uses somewhat different terms and has fewer steps, is the SDLC
presented in the Brookshear text equivalent to the SDLC presented in class?
Explain.

Need some one to Write a computer program to simulate the traffic ?

Need some one to Write a computer program to simulate the traffic ?

Software Engineering

Need to do the Requirements, Product specification, Software management plan
and review minutes and time log for the project. I’ve attached the outline for
all these phases. This is a Software Engineering course so the expert should
know about the phases of the software development and do the assignment
accordingly. All the plan will be based on the project explained below. If any
other questions do let me know. Thanks.

Traffic Lights Simulation

Assume that the streets of Houston downtown form a 10×10 grid. Each street
only allows one-way traffic. At each intersection, there is one traffic light.
If all traffics are totally random, i.e., the time at which a car appears in
the grid, its staring intersection, and its destination intersection all have
uniform probabilities, write a computer program to simulate the traffic on a
2D plane under different traffic light control schemes.

Main challenges software engineering facing

Main challenges software engineering facing

Software Engineering

Identify, from among the following, the correct statement.

(a) One of the main challenges Software Engineering facing today is the
requirement of most software systems to work with a multitude of homogenous
systems

(b) ‘Legacy systems’ are custom developed software systems for the legal
domain

(c) Software does not wear-out in the traditional sense of the term, but
software does tend to deteriorate as it evolves

(d) Since software is essentially ‘intangible’ it is relatively easy to manage
software projects

(e) With the advent of component based software assembly, we find that only
less than 20% of today’s software is still custom built.

Design a prototype for a hospital management system

Design a prototype for a hospital management system

Software Engineering

You are to design a prototype for a hospital management system. Patients are
treated in a single ward by the doctors assigned to them. Usually each patient
will be assigned a single doctor, but in rare cases they will have two.

Heathcare assistants also attend to the patients, a number of these are
associated with each ward.

Initially the system will be concerned solely with drug treatment. Each
patient is required to take a variety of drugs a certain number of times per
day and for varying lengths of time.

The system must record details concerning patient treatment and staff payment.
Some staff are paid part time and doctors and care assistants work varying
amounts of overtime at varying rates (subject to grade).

The system will also need to track what treatments are required for which
patients and when and it should be capable of calculating the cost of
treatment per week for each patient (though it is currently unclear to what
use this information will be put).

1. Design a data model for this system
2. Convert the data model to a set of virtual windows
3. Apply appropriate Gestalts to the prototype to structure the
information

Difference between monologic and dialogic communication

Difference between monologic and dialogic communication

Essential Human Communication – Speech Discussions:

Explain why it is that two people, having chosen the same word, will likely
have two different connotative meanings for the same word.

What is the difference between monologic and dialogic communication? Relate a
situation when you or someone you know has engaged in monologue. How did this
effect the relationship between the parties involved?

Identify the phases of relationship deterioration and the communication
patterns that accompany each stage of the relationship process. Relate this
information to a personal experience of breaking up a friendship or a romance.

What is the difference between “You-Messages” and “I-Messages”? Give an
example of each.

Analysis of the australian bureau of statistics

Analysis of the australian bureau of statistics

Analysis of the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) earnings data confirms
that a persistent gender wage gap exists in Australia where males receive
higher wages than females undertaking equivalent work. Between 1990 to 2009,
the gender wage gap remained within a narrow range of between 15% and 17%.
However, in recent years the difference between male and female wages has
steadily increased, from a low of 15.1% in February 2005, to over 18% in
August 2014. Discuss the factors that contribute to the pay gap in Australia
and why the gap is more significant in some industry sectors than others.

Make a frequency table and a histogram, then describe the general shape of the
distribution.

3. Raskauskas and Stoltz (2007) asked a group of 84 adolescents about their
involvement in traditional and electronic bullying. The researchers defined
electronic bullying as “…a means of bullying in which peers use electronics
{such as text messages, emails, and defaming Web sites} to taunt, threaten,
harass, and/or intimidate a peer” (p.565). The table below is a frequency
table showing the adolescents’ reported incidence of being victims or
perpetrators or traditional and electronic bullying.

a. Using this table as an example, explain the idea of a frequency table to a
person who has never had a course in statistics.

Explain the general meaning of the pattern of results.

Differences in seans behavior between the two centers

Differences in seans behavior between the two centers

Ed’s wife Lori is in the National Guard and is currently deployed in the
Middle East. Before she left, their son Sean, 17 months, was taken care of by
Lori during the day and by Ed in the evening, when Lori went to work. Before
Lori left for the Middle East, she and Ed found a day care center close to
Ed’s work, where Sean could stay while Ed was at work. Ed’s company moved to a
new location about 3 months after Lori left. When Ed pulled Sean out of that
day care center and enrolled him in another, he was amazed at the difference
the move made. Almost immediately, the toddler’s vocabulary exploded, and his
concentration improved. “He loved to talk about the things he did during the
day, whereas at the previous place, you had to hammer it out of him,” Ed says.

What may explain the differences in Sean’s behavior between the two centers?
Consider in your answer how level of development/maturation (e.g., language,
cognitive development) may play a role as well as day care quality.
