addicted to the cell phones Many people in the today’s world are so much addicted to the cell phones to an extent of finding life without cell phones challenging. With the growing world population and technology, cell phones are on the rise with thousands of companies worldwide manufacturing this device. Its compatibility with other electronics also results in its rapid increase among the population. Arguably, this device becomes the first point of concentration for most people when they wake up. They use it to check emails, social media outlets, phone calls to text messages and many others things. Nevertheless, several debates have been sparked on whether this device is helpful or harmful with respect to societal norms and ethics. However, cell phones are in high demand and they are of great help to the society rather than harming it. Nevertheless, other arguments assert that cell phones are harmful and are not needed in the society. According to these assertions, we tend to spend more time on cell phones depending on the technology from generation to generation, forgetting our surrounding and…

cloud-based solutions In this assignment, you′ll need 2 virtual machines (″VMs″) installed, configured, and communicating on your computer: An Attack VM (Kali Linux) and a Target VM (Metasploitable2). This assignment is the basis for, and a prerequisite to, Assignment 9.0. Also: Please be sure your computer meets minimum requirements listed in the syllabus, including root/admin access and hard drive space. If necessary, cloud-based solutions are also an option (e.g. Azure or Amazon Web Services) at your expense and with your own expertise. Oh yes, DO NOT TARGET ANY HOSTS OTHER THAN YOUR TARGET VM.

Cell Phone: A necessary Evil Many people in today’s world are so much addicted to the cell phones to an extent of finding life quite challenging without cell phones. With the growing world’s population and technology, cell phones are on the rise with thousands of companies worldwide manufacturing this device. Its compatibility with other electronics also results in its rapid increase among the population.     Arguably, this device becomes the first point of concentration for most people when they wake up. They use it to check emails, social media outlets, phone calls to text messages and many others things. Nevertheless, several debates have been sparked on whether this device is helpful or harmful with respect to societal norms and ethics. In my proposition, cell phones are in high demand and they are of great help to the society rather than harming it. Nevertheless, other arguments assert that cell phones are harmful and are not needed in the society. According to these assertions, people tend to spend more time on cell phones depending on the technology from generation to generation, forgetting our…

 computing research This is a negotiated research assignment. You are to propose and gain approval for a research paper title on one narrow topic that is relevant to your degree. This paper must be focussed on one narrow aspect of computing research and must not be the same as any other research you are doing, or will be required to do, for any other module while doing your degree.  Guidance will be given on your proposed title by your local tutor but it is your responsibility to ensure you follow this advice and ensure that the paper you submit in the end has an appropriate title.   Students on Applied Business Computing should write a research paper that is applicable to one aspect of applied business computing. For example: improving the design of computer systems in an application specific, but non-business specific, setting (e.g. predicting stock market trends), improving the efficiency of businesses by developing new and novel systems e.g. managing climate change, novel health care systems or enhancing criminal, legal or government systems. improving any aspect of software enterprise…

Capstone Proposal Introduction One of the primary mission networks in our workforce is reliant on a sound static IP addressing scheme. Multiple workstations, printers, multifunctional devices, VOIP phones, and media devices make up this intricate network providing strategic communication and specialized resources to multiple personnel across different geographical locations. With the increase in operations the network has significantly grown and the management of usable IP addresses has at times become burdensome and even error prone for the networks team. Improper mapping of network devices, assignment of IP addresses, and overlapping IP ranges has significantly complicated the ability to maintain an ever increasing scalable network. In addition to IP conflicts, authentication issues have become more prevalent with improper manual configurations and lack of manpower is also a lingering concern with more time needed on device configuration/trouble shooting between the networks and systems departments. Networks have greatly evolved enabling them to accommodate business critical applications and services which are heavily relied upon by the user. In this situation, the network technicians are not only required to add new machines to the network…

Virtualization in cloud computing Virtualization software is often used to complete the computer system and to allow a guest computer to run, and it also acts as a host computer. Allowing Linux to run the computer operating on the Microsoft Windows operating system. The benefits of virtualization software reduce hardware costs and increase productivity. The security concerns of sprawl are that it affects machines even without IT detecting it, although it can be solved through identifying the scope, the entities coverage, and taking a platform. They are reducing hardware costs. Theoretically, humans only use 10% of their brains’ command, while servers use 5-15% of their capacity (Singh, 2018, p.64). Virtualization is achieved and increased because one server can hold multiple machines, thus reducing the hardware costs. According to a report conducted by Singh, virtualization reduces up to 40% of hardware costs. Increased productivity. Virtualization increases productivity in those applications that used to take weeks or days is now done in minutes (Verma, Malla, Choudhary, & Arora, 2019, p.129). Server virtualization brings positive transformations such as better recovery solutions, commercial use,…

Texas Political System Analyze the evolution of the Texas political system. Be sure to include at least one individual or document that influenced the current Texas Constitution and one change in the federal system impacting Texas. For around 99 years, since the reconstruction period in the 1990s, the democratic party has been dominant through Texas politics. However, events have been reversed, and the republic party has grown significantly. Currently, Texas is Republican, which can be supported by the massive voting for Donald Trump as the president in the 2016 elections. The Texas government conducts its activities according to the constitution of Texas, which has a democratic state government operating under a presidential system. It has a legislature consisting of 31 senators and 150 representatives. Republic dominance has been evident with the majority of Texas counties embracing republican governance (Maxwell & Crain, 2008). In 1845, the Texas constitution was influenced by Jacksonian democracy that led to the democratization of the policies and strategies implemented by President Andrew Jackson. He made attacks on the ruling class, claiming they only benefited a few…

Risk posture Risk posture is the overall strength of the organization’s cybercrime plan to mitigate risk occurrence. It ensures that the IT assets in the company are secured and free from vulnerabilities and threats that may attack through the website. The risk posture gives procedures and commands to the individuals handling both the software and hardware assets to reduce the chances of exposing them to attacks. Cybercrime rules establish a more comprehensive approach that controls the possibilities of information breach to unauthorized individuals who may alter with the original data stored. This reduces hacker’s visibility to the organization systems through the internet. The risk plan enables the organization’s machine and the IT team to sense any risk occurring and faster to respond to cut off its spread to the entire operating systems. (Menkveld, 2017). According to Bernstein, et al. (2017), the posture assessment establishes gaps that may give a throughway for threats to attack the machines and come up with solutions to block them to reduce the possible spread of the risks. The IT infrastructure that is commonly used and…
