  • Title: Defunding Police Departments: A Solution for Community Improvement?

    There is a growing movement to defund police departments nationwide and channel that money into more social services. Do you favor or oppose reducing the police budget in the community where you live?  If so, what programs would you reallocate those funds to?  If not, how would you better use the funds within the department to improve its operations.

  • Title: The Impact of a TCP SYN Flood Attack on a Financial Institution

    For this
    exercise, you will perform research and develop a brief paper on the subject
    described below.
    A Denial of Service (DOS)
    attack typically involves the misuse of standard TCP/IP protocols or connection
    processes so that the target for the DOS attack responds in a way designed to
    create maximum trouble. Read the TECHNICAL FOCUS 11-2 “Inside a DoS Attack” on
    page 307 and become familiar with the five common types of TCP/IP attacks.
    Information from page 307:
    TECHNICAL FOCUS 11-2
    Inside a DoS Attack
    A DoS attack typically involves the
    misuse of standard TCP/IP protocols or connection processes so that the target
    for the DoS attack responds in a way designed to create maximum trouble. Five
    common types of attacks include the following:
    ICMP Attacks The network is flooded
    with ICMP echo requests (i.e., pings) that have a broadcast destination address
    and a faked source address of the intended target. Because it is a broadcast
    message, every computer on the network responds to the faked source address so
    that the target is overwhelmed by responses. Because there are often dozens of
    computers in the same broadcast domain, each message generates dozens of
    messages at the target.
    UDP Attacks This attack is similar to
    an ICMP attack, except that it uses UDP echo requests instead of ICMP echo
    requests.
    TCP SYN Floods The target is swamped
    with repeated SYN requests to establish a TCP connection, but when the target
    responds (usually to a faked source address), there is no response. The target
    continues to allocate TCP control blocks, expects each of the requests to be
    completed, and gradually runs out of memory.
    UNIX Process Table Attacks This is
    similar to a TCP SYN flood, but instead of TCP SYN packets, the target is
    swamped by UNIX open connection requests that are never completed. The target
    allocates open connections and gradually runs out of memory.
    Finger of Death Attacks This is
    similar to the TCP SYN flood, but instead, the target is swamped by finger
    requests that are never disconnected.
    DNS Recursion Attacks The attacker
    sends DNS requests to DNS servers (often within the target’s network) but
    spoofs the from address so the requests appear to come from the target computer
    that is overwhelmed by DNS responses. DNS responses are larger packets than
    ICMP, UDP, or SYN responses, so the effects can be stronger.
    Source: Adapted from “Web Site
    Security and Denial of Service Protection,” www.nwfusion.com.
    Select one attack method and conduct
    research using the Internet and libraries available through your Cougar-Track
    account to develop a 900-1000-word (approximately 4 double space pages)
    narrative of an actual attack which used the method you selected.
    Use the following list of significant
    points to consider as you create your paper.
    1.  
    Why
    was the target selected? (For social, political, financial reasons?)
    2.  
    What
    was the target’s network security posture prior to the attack?
    (Passively/Actively protected, indifferent about cyber security?)
    3.  
    What
    was the loss to the target? (Information, financial data, customer/personal
    information?)
    4.  
    What
    secondary impact did the attack have, and to whom? (Banks, investments,
    suppliers etc.)
    5.  
    Identify
    the person or organization that claimed responsibility for the attack.  In
    your own words, describe why you believe they performed the attack.

  • Title: Maximizing Daily Profits for Alliance Air: A Simulation Analysis

    Please complete the problems using Excel, answer the questions asked in Word, then submit both files. 
    IMPORTANT:
    A. You do not need to automate your table. Just run six simulations and input your values manually.
    B. If for some reason your Excel worksheet would not recalculate your formulas automatically as you change the numbers for your demand (unless you manually force it to do so), you need to turn on the Automatic feature as shown on the picture below (click here for PDF)
    Question 1
    Alliance Air is a service in which customers pay a flat-rate to Alliance Air and are guaranteed a seat on an airplane between any two locations. To offer this service, Alliance Air pre-purchases daily seats between every pair of major cities. A route, which has been growing in popularity, is between Phoenix and Dallas. Alliance Air is seeking your advice on how many seats to pre-purchase between these two cities so that they maximize their daily profit.
    Whenever an Alliance Air customer flies on a pre-purchased seat, Alliance Air obtains $150 in profit. However, if not all of the pre-purchased seats are taken, then Alliance Air  has a profit of -$80 by selling the seats at a discount to passengers outside of their customer base. In addition, if Alliance Air has more customers seeking a seat than they have pre-purchased, Alliance Air is forced to book that passenger on a seat purchased that day. In this case, Alliance Air has a profit of -$70 due to the high cost of same-day flights.
    Alliance Air understands that its demand is uncertain. Therefore, they have been keeping track of their historical daily demand.
    Using this information, complete the following tasks/questions:
    Develop an Excel spreadsheet model which can calculate the daily profits for Alliance Air, assuming any particular demand for that day and that Alliance Air pre-purchased 37 seats on the plane. Hint: Your model should include an understock and an overstock formulas.
    Fit distribution to Historical Demand data to find a statistical distribution that fits these data best. Then apply this distribution to your demand, and set-up your spreadsheet as a simulation model using daily profits as an output. Run a simulation assuming Alliance Air pre-purchased 37 seats on a plane. What is the average daily profit in this scenario?
    How many seats would you recommend Alliance Air to pre-purchase if they wanted to maximize their average daily profit? To answer this question, modify the number of Pre-Purchased Daily Seats from 25 to 55 (in the increments of 5) and fill in the table provided with statistics about the expected daily profits (Note that the average, min and max might keep changing slightly as you record those values, that’s ok). What are the minimum and maximum daily profits if they were to purchase this quantity?
