countermeasures against them. Initially passengers were profiled using the behavioural methodology where behavioural characteristics were analysed to identify whether or not an individual posed a threat or not. Later systems such as CAPPS, CAPPS II and Secure Flight were established in an endeavour to better counteract terrorist threats than the early rudimentary behavioural profiling system. All these systems presented inherent flaws such as violation of passenger privacy, inaccuracies in data, cost-ineffectiveness
none of the two. However, there are some good examples of how government can, by having just enough power, and by creating a system which provides for checks and balances, give its citizens the freedoms they are entitled to, while making them feel secure at the same time. The paper will deal with two aspects of the privacy-vs-security issue. The first one is concerned with general civil liberties, where privacy is understood to mean freedom to make personal (private) choices in our own homes, control
Germanwings Flight 9525 was an international flight between the cities of Barcelona (Spain) and Dusseldorf (Germany). The flight was being operated by the low cost carrier Germanwings, owned by the German airline Lufthansa. The plane crashed in the French Alps on 24 March 2015 after the co-pilot Andreas Lubitz deliberately started a decent that caused the aircraft to crash into a mountain. As a response of that incident, aviation authorities from many countries from all over the world like Australia
recording the throws was not used. My son, 6 years old, acted as time keeper. He started the timer when the glider left my hand. When the glider had been thrown with success I started to record the flight time. The table below reflects the throw and duration of flight measured in seconds. The average calculated flight time was 3.695 seconds. Although I believe that some of the times may be inaccurate, I did record these times in the
hours on auto-pilot before coming up short on fuel and colliding with mountain 25 miles north of Athens on August 14 last year. The official report says specialists in Cyprus who were checking the decompression framework following issues on a prior flight - neglected to switch on its programmed activation. But once airborne, this exclusion was intensified when pilots neglected to check whether the framework was exchanged on programmed or manual. As an outcome, the higher the plane flew the less oxygen
a propeller. The propellers spin at a constant rate and speed changes are made by adjusting the angle of the propeller. The aircraft seats eight passengers to include the pilot’s seat. The entire aircraft is in very good condition with only 2500 flight hours on it and has the potential of supplying many more years of trouble free service with proper maintainace. The performance charteristiccs of this aircraft is as follows: Beech King Air B200 Characteristics PERFORMANCE U.S. METRIC Max
over the years that have been updated due to vulnerabilities found in their original versions, a prime example being the SSH protocol. SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol that allows users to remotely login to a computer in order to perform tasks such as executing commands and transferring files. It was designed in 1995 as a means to replace less secure protocols like rlogin and telnet. The problem with these protocols is that information, including passwords, is send as plaintext (Rosasco,

In the computer age, vulnerabilities and back doors into devices are proving heaven for hackers and hell for administrators. Every week it seems that new vulnerabilities are discovered in different devices. Cisco IOS is no different and numerous vulnerabilities can be found in their devices. The aim of the report is to research vulnerabilities in Cisco's IOS operating system. Tools available in Backtrack 5 will be used to exploit the vulnerabilities. GNS3 will be used to set up a working topology
1. Introduction A penetration test is performed on a system in order to find security threats. The pen tester carries out the same tests a hacker would do. The hacker is looking for vulnerabilities in the computer and network in order to exploit them and gain access. The pen tester performs the same task but wants to find and fix any security threats without harming or compromising the system. The pen tester has permission to perform vulnerability checkes wheras the hacker does not. (Add more).
The Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol to use the network services with security. For example, when an email is send or receive, SSH will automatically encrypt or decrypt the email so that attacker will not intercept in the middle of the transaction [1]. There are two versions of SSH i.e. SSH1 and SSH2. SSH has 3 main components as shown in figure 1: Transport Layer Protocol that provide confidentiality, integrity and authentication; User Authentication Protocol that authenticate client to the server;
Use of Symbolism in Steinbeck's Flight In his classic short story, "Flight," John Steinbeck uses many examples of symbolism to foreshadow the conclusion. Symbolism can be anything, a person, place or thing, used to portray something beyond itself. It is used to represent or foreshadow the ending of the story. Steinbeck uses colors, direction, and nature symbolism to help presage Pepé's tragic death. Let us now more closely examine the ways that Steinbeck uses colors to foreshadow the ending
The Importance of Flight in Song of Solomon Flight is a major theme in Toni Morrison's Song of Solomon. “Flight echoes throughout the story as a reward, as a hoped-for skill, as an escape, and as proof of intrinsic worth; however, by the end this is not so clear a proposition”(Lubiano 96). Song of Solomon ends with ‘flight’ but in such a way that the act allows for multiple interpretations: suicide; "real" flight and then a wheeling attack on his "brother"; or "real" flight and then some kind
Flight in Cormac McCarthy’s All the Pretty Horses In an enticingly realistic novel, contemporary western writer Cormac McCarthy tells the coming-of-age story of a young John Grady Cole whose life begins and, in a sense, ends in rustic San Angelo. Page by page, McCarthy sends his protagonist character creation on a Mexican adventure, complete with barriers, brawls, and beauties. The events which bring about John Grady’s adventure and the reasons behind his decision to flight familiarity are the
Journey to Destruction in Steinbeck's Flight and London's To Build a Fire Not many people have to face death in the cold wasteland of the Arctic or rugged mountains of California, but Pepe and "the man" do. Although the ironic destruction of Pepe and the man were caused by relentless forces of nature, their attitudes and reasons for going on their journeys differed. The setting in both stories consisted of extreme climate and conditions. In Flight the climate was desert hot during the
Subject of Family in Lessing’s Flight, Hughes’ Mother to Son, Kincaid's Girl and Adrienne Rich's Poem, Merced Family as defined by Webster’s College Dictionary can be one of many different people. Family can be your parents, spouse, children, brother, sister, grandmother, uncle, any blood relative, or even people who are not blood related that share that common bond (Webster 475). My definition of family is similar to Webster’s, but I feel that there is more to it than just being a blood relative
PROBLEM Does a paper airplane designed with more surface area allow the plane to stay aloft a longer amount of time? BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE Several forces combine to affect an airplane’s ability to fly. Thrust – A push that provides the plane with its initial acceleration Lift - Air moving under the wings of the plane providing an upwards force Drag – Air pushing against the plane, causing it to slow down Weight – The weight of the paper airplane that brings it to a landing Gravity – The weight
myself being in that airplane not only as a passenger but, as the pilot. As I grew older my passion for flying strengthened, I looked for ways to turn this passion into something more. I took multiple exploratory flights, I also stayed at EAA Academy Lodge for a week, and logged many flight hours throughout the course of two years. Not only did I have a blast doing these activities, I also learned so much from them. I am ready to take my education to a further level and progress towards becoming a
Boom,Boom! Sabena flight 548 just when down by Brussels. People were taken by this and it made it’s mark on history. In 1961 the world’s figure skating community suffered a truly morbid tragic event when the US figure skating team’s plane crashed down in flames and loud booms were heard in the distance. Sabena flight 548 crashed down in Brussels on their way to compete in the World Championship event. This resulted in the death of all 72 passengers on board. An innocent farmer in the fields was
Staring out the window of the airplane, part of me hoped that somehow things would all work out. The other part of me knew that recovering from something like this would be very unlikely. This was not the first time I had visited the busy historical city of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England, but this trip will stay in my heart forever. I learnt that nobody lives forever and we have to appreciate the people we love while we have them. Early October of 2011, at the inexperienced age of 13, I faced the cruel
