MIS 790 Comprehensive Exam Q1. To be able to build prediction models of botnet attacks, we had to decide information requirements. (a) What process did you use for identifying predictor variables for modelling botnet traffic flows? (b) What additional measures can be taken in terms of information (or data) gathering to further improve the accuracy of the prediction models? (a) I started with a literature survey and read articles to understand the problem and technical terms. To understand the…

These crimes occur against individuals, businesses, organizations, and against the government itself. So much of our lives are accessible electronically now…

Professor Doupé, Thank you for your reply, and for your questions. We are excited to potentially have your guidance in our research, and hope we have provided clear explanations to your questions below: 1. SSL/TLS encryption secures data flowing between client and server. Using SSL during an authentication attempt could provide a secure way for a non malicious server to authenticate with the device, while blocking out sign in attempts from malware. 2. It seems that many drive by downloads…

Technical Paper – Honeypot IT-548-Q1088 Information Security Submitted by Anudeep Gali Professor: Dr. Derek Holbert Southern New Hampshire University Abstract: Internet is one of the useful resources to the mankind but on the other hand possess so many threats and provides a means of attack for the Intruders.
