Course Content

Lab work is a significant part of this course. The ordering of lectures, in contrast to the course content topics listed below, is largely due to this influence.

The topics are described at some length because they may be too unfamiliar to you. The numbers in parens are a rough estimate of the number of (75-minute) lectures on each topic.

Intro (1)

Well Known Security Breaches. The most famous incidents.The Internet Worm, 1988. Current events. Terminology: E.g., Intruder v. Hacker v. attacker v. cracker. Course overview.

System Administration (2)

Linux setup. The initial boot can be a significant source of insecurity. The sequence of events from initial power-on cold booting to shut down of a computer system. Standard Unix processes: init, getty, inetd, rpc.* etc. Introduction to network setup. TCP/IP refresher. Virtual machines.

Applied Cryptography (1)

Understanding computational infeasibility. Message digests. Digital certificates. Man-in-the-Middle attacks.

TCP/IP Exploits (2)

Modern operating systems are internally organized as a networked collection of servers, even when not connected to other machines. Service and node authentication. Probing a Host for Weakness. Remote Trojans. Causing service denials. Denial of Service Attacks. Distributed coordinated attacks. Sniffing. Spoofing. Secure shell. Secure Socket Layer (SSL). Virtual Private Networks (VPN). IPv6.

Authentication (3)

User Authentication: /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow files. One time passwords. Semi-permanently assigned password, and a response token generated by credit-card-sized electronic authenticators. Two-factor authentication. Cracking of passwords.

System Hardening (8)

Escalation of privileges.Denial of Service (DoS). Virus, Worms, and Trojan Horses. The structure of a computer virus.Manipulation of executable binaries. Anti-virus programs. Configuring properly. Hardening an OS. Re-design of OS for security. NSA’s Security Enhanced Linux.Absense of Root kits, unauthorized services, Backdoors. Honey pots. Prevention and detection of malware.

Secure Software Development (6)

Buffer Overflow Exploitation.Software development techniques that are resistant to bug exploits. At the high-level, code structure, least privilege, and narrow interfaces, and at the low-level, checking for buffer overruns, being ultra careful in writing setuid programs, untrusted paths, race conditions, environment, etc. Type-safety, source code analysis, assertions and invariants.Prevention and detection of race conditions.

System Audit (2)

Detection and Documentation of (possible) Intrusions. Penetration testing. Logging facilities. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS).Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS). Forensics.

Exams 20 + 30%

There will be two exams contributing 20% and 30% to the final grade. The mid term is scheduled around the sixth week, and the final during the exam week as set by the Registrar.

Laboratory Experiments 48%

The laboratory experiments contribute 48% to the final grade. I expect to give 12 experiments worth 4% each. Lab reports must be submitted by midnight on the due date posted. I will accept up to two lab reports late but each within 48 hours. The subject matter of these experiments is included in the exams.

All lab work must be, with a couple of exceptions, conducted within the Operating Systems and Internet Security (OSIS) Lab. No other WSU facilities are allowed.

In this course, a lab rarely involves writing your own programs. It generally will require you to build an executable after suitable reconfiguration using tools such as make. The source code tree will be given to you. The code is in C/C++, Java, or in (one or two cases) ASM code.

Most experiments are to be performed by the student individually with a few that are best learned when there is a pair of students. These labs must be work done solely by you (and your partner), except for the parts I provided you with.

Discussion 2%

Active participation in the group discussions is expected.

Design four activities appropriate for children in a preschool or daycare program based on your knowledge of motor, cognitive, and

socioemotional development in early childhood.

In a paper of 250-400 words, describe four separate activities you could use to improve children’s cognitive, socioemotional, or gross and fine

motor skills. Papers should address the following issues:

1.What children can and cannot do in the stages of early childhood.

2.How the activities will serve to improve children’s gross and fine motor skills, cognitive skills, or socioemotional skills.

 

Narrative essay

write about an event that impacted your life including the conflict and resolution of your narrative.
Using the first person point of view, develop the story line.
In effective narratives, there is a five point development:

1) Exposition / Prologue -This provides background and sets the stage for your narrative.
2) Rising Action -This develops the conflict of the narrative.
3) Climax or Turning Point-This is the highest point of intensity in your narrative.
4) Falling Action-This recounts events that happen after the climax of your narrative.
5. Resolution -This is different than a conclusion since it conveys how the conflict of the narrative was resolved. For the development of this paper, utilize the five points of narrative writing.

In addition to the five point development of your narrative, utilize key literary elements for communicating your narrative such as plot, setting, theme, and dynamic characterization (for definitions of these terms, click “help files” on the upper right of this module page).
The challenging element of writing a narrative is how to convey in a clear manner the main character’s actions without merely listing a sequencing of facts. The character’s actions should speak and show the underlying feelings and emotions of the situation.

 

The attached is a draft of the business plan.

For your Midterm, you will view works from several Contemporary Artists.
Choose an artist that speaks to you the most. It is essential that you take time to research the artist you have chosen further. Watch their work on YouTube, look for interviews by this artist, what do critics say about this artist and his/her work?
After researching to your satisfaction, write a two page response.  I am interested in where your research has led you and what you have learned.  I am not interested in a detailed biography of the mentioned artist, unless you are trying to make a point. I am more interested in how the artist’s work, the artist’s views on dance and your research have changed your ideas about what dance is and what it can be. It is important that you write concretely. On the top of your paper include your name, class and date.
List all resources used in your research on the final page.

Consider the following questions in your writing.

1.      What did you find useful, intriguing or relevant in your research?
Was there anything said or mentioned throughout your research process that you would  like
to keep as a personal reference? Explain.

2.      How has this article or research challenged your ideas about dance or support your ideas
about dance?

The enduring relevance of the humanities is that they encourage us to consider a number of “big ideas.” What is culture? How do we go about studying it? What is the relationship between cultural artifacts and the culture in which they are created? What is the relationship between artists and the creators of “cultural artifacts” and the things they create? How is human meaning generated through cultural creations? We humans seem driven to express and create in our search to understand and be understood.

You will complete two related projects in this course that will be turned in separately. In Project 1, you will choose an artifact of human creative expression and respond to a series of questions about it to complete an artifact chart. In Project 2, you will use the insights gained from completing Project 1 to answer a series of short-answer responses about human expression.

For Project 1, you will choose an artifact of human creative expression from the world around you. This artifact can take any form and can be from any physical modality (visual, aural, tactile, etc.). The key is that you choose a form of expression you might experience any day that intrigues you and makes you want to know more about it. Once you have chosen your artifact, you will respond to the elements below on the provided artifact chart, culminating in questions about the artifact and what it might represent. You will use the insights you gain here when completing Project 2. Project 1 will assess the following course outcomes, which you focus on throughout Themes 1 and 2:

 Develop questions about fundamental aspects of human culture that inform personal assumptions, beliefs, and values using evidence from cultural artifacts and systems  Determine fundamental approaches to studying the humanities in addressing questions about how cultural artifacts and the culture they are created in have influenced each other

Prompt Choose an artifact from the world around you that you could encounter any day. Use the provided artifact chart to think deeply about the artifact and its representation of human creative expression. Your responses should be recorded on the artifact chart. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:

I. Describe the artifact in detail. For instance, how would you describe it to someone who could not see it? II. Choose elements of the artifact that you believe are most important to how you experience it and explain why. For instance, what particularly catches your senses or makes you want to keep experiencing it? Does the choice of medium impact your experience? III. State your opinion on what you believe is the purpose of this artifact and the success of the creator in achieving the purpose. For instance, what message do you believe the creator is trying to express, and is that message successfully expressed?

IV. Discuss how the artifact reflects the culture (or context) in which it exists. Be sure to address what aspects of culture have relevance for this artifact: politics, history, religion, social perceptions, technology, media, education, and so on. In other words, how do the artifact and its culture interrelate? For instance, how would a particular form of body modification reflect the urban culture in which you encountered it? V. Use the artifact to discuss how acts of creative expression impact and are impacted by the people and situations that surround it. How might the artifact and the person who created it have impacted each other? For instance, how might the geographic location where the artifact was made, the materials used to create the artifact, the medium of the creative process, or the environment where the artifact is displayed influence the creator’s life or future creative work? How might the artifact and the culture or context in which it was created have impacted each other? For instance, does the artifact add to the understanding of the culture from which it was created? What contributions does it make to continuing on a dialogue about that culture and the importance of its artifacts? VI. Pose questions you have after thinking deeply about this artifact. What more do you want to know regarding: a. The relationship between human culture and expression? b. Your personal assumptions about artifacts of this sort and why they exist? c. How your values have shaped and are shaped by your expression and that of others? d. The relationship between the possible intent of the creator and your own interpretation of its meaning? VII. Speculate on how you would go about answering these questions. For instance, what sorts of things would you study about these kinds of artifacts and their contexts that might begin addressing these questions?

Consider the following scenario:

As an advanced practice nurse at a community health clinic, you often treat female (and sometimes male patients) with hormone deficiencies. One of your patients requests that you prescribe supplemental hormones. This poses the questions: How will you determine what kind of treatment to suggest? What patient factors should you consider? Are supplemental hormones the best option for the patient, or would they benefit from alternative treatments?

 

 

 

To prepare:

 

•Review Chapter 56 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text, as well as the Holloway and Makinen and Huhtaniemi  and  Hollway  articles in the Learning Resources.

 

•Review the provided scenario and reflect on whether or not you would support hormone replacement therapy.

 

•Locate and review additional articles about research on hormone replacement therapy for women and/or men. Consider the strengths and limitations of hormone replacement therapy.

 

 

 

Post  1-2 PAGES ON : A description of the strengths and limitations of hormone replacement therapy. Based on these strengths and limitations, explain why you would or why you would not support hormone replacement therapy. Explain whether you would prescribe supplemental hormones or recommend alternative treatments to patients with hormone deficiencies and why.
