Description: In this assignment, you will be launching a denial of service attack on a web server. We will be using hping3, a command-line oriented network security tool inside Kali Linux (an advanced penetration testing Linux distribution). Setting up the victim machine Download the Windows XP virtual machine with WebGoat server installed, using the following link. We will use this machine as the victim machine and launch a DoS attack on the WebGoat server.https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwCbaZv8DevUejBPWlNHREFVc2s Open the victim machine and launch...
Differences between DDoS, TDoS and PDoS: - Denial of Service costs the global economy billions of dollars. The economy is the soul of our society and its collapse will surely change the way humanity exists today. The three main goals of IT security are availability, confidentiality and integrity. Here I’m going to discuss about DDoS, TDoS and PDoS. Distributed denial-of-service (DDoS): - DDoS attack involves several connected online devices, known collectively as botnets, that serve to flood a target website...

In Java(using BlueJ) Purpose Purpose is to practice using file input and output, and array list of objects. Also, this lab specification tells you only what to do, you now have more responsibility to design how to do it. Problem description You are given a text file called 'Students.txt' that contains information on many students. Your program reads the file, creating many Student objects, all of which will be stored into an array list of Student objects, in the Students...
