Information Assurance Lab5: Introduction to Metasploit on Kali Linux
Anti-Black Hats
1) Booting Kali Linux and starting Metasploit:
1d.) Why is it usually a bad idea to operate in the Linux environment as root? If you are unfamiliar with the concept of the root user, do a quick google search
Answer:
Root User:
In Unix-like computer OSes, root is the conventional name of the user who has all rights or permissions (to all files and programs) in all modes (single- or multi-user. The root user can do many things an ordinary user cannot, such as changing the ownership of files and binding to network ports numbered below 1024.
The name root may have originated because root is the only user account with permission to modify the root directory of a Unix system. Only a process running as root is allowed to change its user ID to that of another user; once it 's done so, there is no way back.

Instead, a normal user account should be used, and then either the su (set user) or sudo (substitute user do) command is used [1]
And it is bad idea to operate in the Linux environment as root because you can influence the whole machine and it gives access to every component. Sometimes, an inexperienced user, can cause harm to the system with the usage of bad code or commands through the root unintentionally.
1f.) What would happen if you just started the metasploit service without the postgresql service? Even if you can start the metasploit service without it, is it needed (Why/ Why not)? What does the service do for Metasploit? (Hint: you can do this in a new terminal window)
Children in this group were provided with base-10 and unit blocks. Each base 10 block is 1 cm × 1 cm × 10 cm in size. Each unit block is 1 cm × 1 cm × 1 cm in size. The research assistant gave explicit demonstrations of how to use both base-10 block and unit blocks to construct two-digit number. First, the research assistant placed out ten unit-blocks in a line and then put a base-10 block along to the ten unit-blocks.
#include #include int main() { float x,y,res; printf ("Enter the value X & Y\n" ); scanf("%f%f", &x, &y); res = pow(x,y); printf ("X to the power of Y = %.2f\n", res); return 0; } Output: Enter the value X & Y 5 4 X to the power of Y = 625.00 Explanation: The math.h is utilized to compute the area of triangle. Similarly, other mathematical operations can be performed using the math.h header file. Some of the commonly used header files supported in C program are mentioned in the below Table 5.2.1. Header file Description Helps in some mathematical operations.
$A$ is a set of conditions $C_{i,L_j},{i,j}inmathbb{N}$ at the same hierarchical level $L_j$. Only one condition $Cin A$ can be extit{true} at the same time and no state transition without being specified by a condition is possible. If condition $C_{i,L_j}$ is not extit{true} any more (due to the proceeding of the assembly operation), there is a fallback to state $S_{j,L_i}$ and all conditions are evaluated to determine the current substate. An exemplary decomposition tree containing different hierarchical levels, multiple states per level and conditions for state transition is given by Fig.~
Lab 7: Moon Phases was designed to measure the relative position of the Sun and Moon over the course of one phase cycle (i.e. one month, 29.5 days) The idea for Lab 7: Moon Phases was to examine how the illumination of the moon by the Sun produces the different phase cycles we see as the Moon rotates around Earth and as the Earth rotates around the Sun. The observations of the Moon were taken on four different days in the month of February to March capturing four different Moon Phases.
Unit D Summary: Light and Geometric Optics 10.1 : Light and The Electromagnetic Spectrum Chapter 10.1 covers light and the electromagnetic spectrum. This chapter starts off by describing how light is a form of energy that travels in waves. The properties of said waves include a crest (the highest point of the wave), the trough (the lowest point of the wave), and the rest position (the level of a wave without energy).
Task1 (3) - comparison of three operating system Components Window 7 Window 8 Ubunutu 12.04 Security It has better firewall. It also support bit locker drive encryption, which encrypt window hard disk to keep documents and passwords as well. Also help to protect desktop against viruses and other malware with Microsoft security essential. It also supports parent’s control which is also an essential part.
Back side of the system unit: * Serial port: it is a general-purpose interface that can be used for almost any type of device, including modems, mouse or keyboard. * Parallel port: It is usually used for connecting PC to a printer. * USB port: It is a plug and play port on your pc. With USB, a new device can be added to your computer without additional hardware or even having to turn the PC off. A single usb can be used to connect to 127 peripheral devices.
4.7.5 Data Preservation and Isolation from the Network. The main purpose of a digital forensic report is to keep the data integrity, avoiding any type of data alteration, in order to present valid evidences, for instance in a court. The use of not valid software to check the stored information in a mobile phone can alter these information. The action of receive new data can alter the information stored, for instance an automatic firmware update, or remote device control with the risks involved. Therefore, it is extremelly important have the device completely isolated from the network.
Components Computers have one or a lot of big or small R-A-M chips inside. RAM chips are a random access memory chip inside, the computer uses it to store information that will be used anytime or used to store something like the copy clipboard(The copy clipboard is the thing that stores what you copy to paste later) to delete/change later. There is also a spinning or solid state hard drive that uses DVD like disks that stores information like your video games, pictures, or other things. A CPU is the thing that your computer uses to do all the processing work, like our brain but not like it. CPU stands central-processing-unit.
This article is related to Unit 1 lecture on Ethics and Values taught by Mrs. Townes. To provide optimal care for individuals of different religious cultures, practices and beliefs nurses must be skilled in identifying best practices when caring for patients. Understanding a patient’s religious beliefs and values will determine if that patient receives efficient and standard care based on their own beliefs. Buddhist may deny certain medication based on the make-up or components of the medication and whether medications will alter their normal state of mind. The best care for a patient of Buddhist ethnicity is to provide them with a calm environment that will allow patients to meditate, practice relaxation techniques, and chanting rituals.
1. What is the issue that the author(s) of this chapter has presented? The issue the author presents in chapter nine focuses on who should receive special education services and how should educators identify which students are to receive special education services. 2.
Ramesh, I think the least privilege principle is very important to any security plan and companies should embrace it. Least privilege principle would help to reduce the access that malware could use on a compromised system. A cracker would also be limited to the user’s access right of the user that is logged into a compromised system. You bring up a good example of how each type of user would have a different level of access based on the duties they must perform.
5.1.1. Standard Process First part Coming from the field the data was downloaded from the two GPS bases into the GPS controllers. Connect the GPS controllers to the computer and open the Trimble Business Center to import data from GPS receivers. Second Part Set the coordinate system in the software as to match the coordinate system which was used on the field.
1. What were your results for the test? Were these results surprising to you? Why or why not? a.
2. Impact to performance, high network traffic usage. 3. No clear view of permission.
