Introduction A year ago, Cisco predicted that there would be 50 billion network-connected devices by the year 2020. New estimates are forecasting that some 38.5 billion devices will make up the Internet of Things by 2020. As a new market projected to be worth 1.7 trillion dollars, it is attracting the attention of major industry players. Microsoft, in particular, seems to be mobilizing a dedicated effort aimed at owning a chunk of this emerging market. After losing the battle for the mobile…

reading over the chapters, I noticed that they were talking about operating systems such as, Linux, Windows, and MAC OS. These are all big things that we should know about and even the history behind it. Even though most company’s probably use Windows, or even Mac, it is still important to know about things such as Linux considering everything was build up from it. Even today at work I still use a couple of Linux boxes…

CHAPTER IILiterature ReviewEthical Hacking and Its Importance The word hacking is used to defined as the computer criminals. Using illegal actsand have malicious intent. Hacker is the one who doing the hacking process. Hackers usetheir skill in programming and their enjoying the work in learning the details of thecomputer systems and stretch capabilities from the system. The word cracker also belongs to the same field that also uses hacking skills for the unlawful purposes likeemail id, intrudi…

Going into my senior year I was determined to find classes that challenged me and at the same time rewarded me with beneficial knowledge that I could use in my future career. While searching for potential classes I stumbled across the Certification Practicum in IT and was amazed. I had never seen a class that seemly offered immediate real world benefits like this class did. Later at my internship I asked my boss what certification I should take, he told me “seemly every other day a company’s…

American adults now own and can describe his or her smart device as iPhone, Blackberry or Android smart device (A. Smith, 2011). The various device makers each have their own mobile application stores connected to their specific mobile devices. Linux mobile devices use the Google Play and Amazon App Store that work specifically with the Android operating system environment The public has been concerned with privacy over a hundred years now, going back to 1890, Warren and Brandeis wrote their…

Task 1 In Unix/Linux operating system a user can have root access or not, the root access provides complete access to user of a system. There are some following risks to have a single root user on Unix/Linux operating system. Easy to hack: If any security error broke the security then a hacker can get the access of all data and can get the whole control of hardware. It allow to retrieve all files and data without root access. So, it is a big risk of losing and stolen data and important…

Thus rooting a smartphone running on Android OS is similar to getting access to administrator privileges on a computer running on Linux or Unix operating system. To be precise, rooting is the process of obtaining complete privileged access also called as root access to all the Android subsystems. By obtaining Superuser permission to the Android OS, one can alter everything about the…

processing speeds. (If they were playing games or running high performance software on it.) OS: Linux is good for scientific programs but you need to be willing to manage it, and probably need some experience in coding which people mightn’t have. Windows is a much easier OS to use and is highly prevalent on the market and has loads of help available online and in shops. Mac is easier to manage than the Linux but doesn’t have as many programs and isn’t as prevalent as Windows. ii) Trade offs are…

this way the company can protect your mobile device from further attacks. The security should ensure compatibility with existing software as well. When installing third-party software, additional package signatures should be implemented. Similar to Linux, Android uses a “copy-on-write” principle for RAM allotment, which refine memory pages from the process prior. When a file is deleted, the blocks of disk space is not cleared, but the storage of the protected data uses a cryptographic…

this case is responsible for efficiently allocating vital system resources, such as I/O device, memory, and processor(s) to handle all the executed processes. Several examples of OS in this category includes but not limited to Microsoft Windows XP, Linux OS, and Apple’s MacOS…
