Network Security

-

 For individuals and organizations, the security of their systems should be vitally important. Protecting the information within a system can ensure that it doesn’t fall into the wrong hands beside the user or company that it is intended for. Also, the security system should be protected so that there is no failure within the programs or parts of that system. When it comes to ping commands and the types of attacks that can come from using them to network, there is one that comes to mind. Denial of Service is an attack that can come from ping commands. According to our textbook, a DoS attack is achieved by submitting huge numbers of access requests simultaneously to one target website, causing that site's web server to be overloaded, thus preventing legitimate requests from being handled and by determining the source of the attack from IP addresses is how DoS can be prevented (Lysecky & Vahid, 2017). There is a wide variety of security risks that can cause many issues for technology. I will discuss two different types of security incidents which are computer viruses and password cracking. Computer viruses can completely destroy a system from the inside, it usually happens without permission. When it comes to downloading from the internet, receiving links, email, and many more can have the potential to have a virus that will steal and cause harm to the computer. Protection against viruses can be as simple as downloading a security software like McAfee that I use that finds and blocks viruses before they spread. Password cracking is a common security probably due to a lack of awareness when it comes to how important a password can protect one’s information. Making strong passwords, not using the same password for everything, enable two method security for logins are just some ways that cracking can be prevented. Security is very important in the concept of the ongoing advancements in technology that continue to spread throughout our society.

New to Algorithmic Design and Data Structure Techniques in Structured Programming

-
  In the world of software development, algorithm design and choosing the right data structures are essential elements that greatly impact the effectiveness and ease of maintaining programs. Definitions to understand: An algorithm is a precise set of instructions designed to resolve a specific issue or accomplish a particular goal. Sorting algorithms like QuickSort and MergeSort, searching algorithms like Binary Search, and graph algorithms such as Dijkstra’s Algorithm are typical types of algorithms. A data structure is a structured way of organizing and storing data in order to make it easy to access and modify. Important data structures consist of arrays, which provide storage of a set size with quick access; linked lists, which allow for flexible sizing with effective additions and removals. Advantages of algorithms and data structures Different algorithms and data structures offer unique advantages depending on various important factors. Time complexity evaluates how the runnin

So when it comes to apps I use. I am huge on investing and studying. I use everything from Robinhood, Acorns, Stockpile, Coursera, Udemy, and many more. For today's discussion, I will talk about Cashapp which is a simple financial app that I have been using for a while now. I will discuss its usability, design, and functionality.  Design When it comes to the design of the Cash App. It has a very clean slick look with the light of green and white being its theme. A very friendly setting is introduced through each page of the app. It kinda seems most all friendly financial app use that soft design with nice tabs to bring people in without complicating anything. Usability Cashapp is so simple to use but does require a little learning at first. When it comes to sending money, linking your bank account or debit card is easy using the first tab. The second tab is for Cashapp debit cards. The third tab is how you send and request money. I believe the only part most people find confusing i

  How to Java Installation and Object-Oriented Design Principles (OOP Newcomer this is an intro of Java programming! As you begin on your journey into Java, it may be confusing to grasp not only how to set up your environment but also the core principles that will guide you in designing some software. First, we will begin, starting with Java installation and then knowing the object-oriented design principles. Simple and Quick Guide for Java Installation To get started with Java, you'll need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK), which provides everything necessary to running Java. While I won’t provide each step tutorial here, I can show you to some resources that will guide you through the process: Oracle's Official JDK Download Page : This page offers the latest version of the JDK and installation instructions. OpenJDK Installation Guide : OpenJDK is an open-source alternative to Oracle's JDK and is widely used in the industry. How to Install Java (with Screenshots) :
