Media Access Control

frequencies (RF) to transmit data between endpoints. With a wireless network, an attacker does not have to physically connect to any of the network devices in order to gain access. They do not even have to be inside the same room or building. An attacker can sit outside of a building, but still be within the range of the wireless access point (WAP). With a high gain antenna and directional transmitter, an attacker can connect to a WAP from beyond its normal range. An attacker who drives…

I. Introduction Bill Chappell documented the FCC’s monumental ruling in favor of net neutrality on February 26, 2015. With this ruling, the FCC reclassified broadband access as a telecommunications service and therefore a common carrier, in turn applying Title 2 of the Communications Act of 1934 to Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Title 2 of the Communications Act of 1934 makes it unlawful for any common carrier to “make any unjust or unreasonable discrimination in charges, practices,…

The HC-05 is a serial Bluetooth module for transparent wireless serial communication. It communicates with the microcontroller using serial port [5]. It operates in the 2.4 – 2.485 GHz frequency band The HC-05 has 6 Pins. Table 3.1 Pin description of HC06 Pin Description Key to toggle between data mode and command mode, if set to high, it works as command mode, but default is data mode. RXD Receive data serially (received data will be transmitted wirelessly by Bluetooth module). TXD Transmit…

who knows and understands what is going on. First of all what is net neutrality? How does is affect society as a whole? How are consumers affected? To clear the air, net neutrality is basically a principle in which internet providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites. Today, December 14, 2017 marks the date when a vote was taken for federal regulators to allow internet providers to speed…

Telstra has both positive and negative experiences when managing change and innovation. The company has made the right moves but in return also underwent a few missteps along the way. In an article from The Australian, Telstra was accused by NBN for providing slow download rate at 0.002% of the expected speed that the customers pay for. A spokesman claimed that while several clients are transitioning to NBN enables them to download at a top speed level however, common network factors indicate…

The controversy around net neutrality is pretty common, many think the government shouldn’t be wanting the people to be paying so much for something that everyone uses in their everyday life for useful purposes, while the other portion aren’t aware of net neutrality and or they simply do not care. Net neutrality limits people from seeing what is fully out there which can potentially be a good idea or one of the worst ones yet. Paying for such a thing, and paying a good price and not getting what…

Over the period of time, going through this course we covered much of the material covering print media, record music, motion pictures, along with various forms of television. When going about my regular day, these topics are matters that I usually wouldn’t care to place much thought into. Now that this course is coming closer to an end, I have gained a great understanding of these subjects. And what I’ve come to realizes is that all of these topics have played a critical role in not just my…

world of today one can access the news through the internet, television, radio, mobile phone apps and social media. While each hold different credibility, the answer to any question can be found if googled correctly. It may feel as though humans are the ones in control with all of this wealth of information, but are we really? Any one who has the right amount of power or money can pay for an advertisement that can indirectly change how the public feels about a subject. Media coverage can change…

“Brave New World”, it mentions a drug that everyone takes (soma) that “controls and tamed” humanity. Social Media is very much like the soma that all of the people take in Brave New World. They are related by how they both “control” society in a way that people feel obligated to do it. For example, if one of the people in a group doesn’t have a social media account they are almost excluded from the group because teens use social media almost more than texting. Lots of teens use it for…
