Vulnerability Testing of Key and Strategic Government Departments against hacking
Question
Scenario:
You are a new IT security professional for a small police department. At first you did not see your agency as being a large target for attacks. However, the city recently appointed a new and very controversial police chief. Following the appointment of the new police chief, you discovered a plain text file in the root of the C: drive on a server that said “hacked by the KDC.”
You have reported this to your immediate supervisor, who has assigned you to perform a penetration test on the agency’s network and to perform a vulnerability assessment. Although you strongly agree with your supervisor and realize that such measures are necessary, you believe that it would be much more appropriate to outsource this to a security consulting firm.
To fulfil your supervisor’s initial request, you are preparing to perform a preliminary network penetration test on your agency’s network. However, you prefer to take an automated approach and are wondering if such network penetration tools exist.
Task:
A. Create a memo (suggested length of 4–5 pages)requesting permission to obtain a network penetration tool by doing the following:
1. Describe three possible network penetration testing tools that you deem to be most practical for the scenario.
2. Compare the limitations of each of these three tools.
3. Explain how you could use each of these three tools to perform a network penetration test.
B. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.
Summary
The scenario belongs to Computer Science and it is about networking security, penetration testing and vulnerability testing. In the recent years, due to the phenomenon of hacking, it has become absolutely essential to secure a business computer or a compute on network to be safe from hacking. In this scenario, a computer science professor seeks permission of the police department to hack their server and check whether or not the server has firewalls strong enough to withstand an intruder’s attacks.

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
I chose civil engineering for my graduate studies because I am fascinated with the concepts of municipal and urban engineering. Since it has been my area of interest from high school and I had done some research on the topic I thought the graduate program would be a breeze. But I was soon proved wrong and found myself struggling from the very first semester. At TheReliableTutor my online civil engineering assignment tutor helped walk me through the different concepts and with in-depth quality research that was missing from my work.

During my second trimester one of my class-mates told me about TheReliableTutor.com. However, back then I thought I do not require any help. But I was proved wrong shortly and contacted them. The nursing assignment tutors are really fantastic and they work tirelessly till you get what you exactly asked for. Really happy with the service I got

As an undergraduate statistics student at one of the leading institutes in Singapore I was finding it increasingly difficult keeping up with the assignments with the rest of the class. I was lost, and not in a good way, in probability, displaying data etc. That is when I found TheReliableTutor. Here the stats homework solver helped me out with all my assignments and I have been getting great reviews and grades since then.
Jun Jie Student
My main concern was the relevant local Wellington research and reference work that was required for the final Statistics Assignment for my post graduate program at the Victoria University of Wellington. My professor was very particular about his requirement of relevant local data and samples from Wellington. With the stats assignment expert at TheReliableTutor I did not have to worry about that since the expert provided the most excellent and relevant local data and references helping me to top the class.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
