Cyber deterrence has been thrown out in the public, governmental, and military sectors for the better part of the first half of the decade, stretching into discussions currently in organizations like NATO, and governments worldwide. The theory is simple: “deter someone from doing something out of fear of repercussion or retaliation.” Theory and concept however, are very different premises and conclusions. Everyone in the information warfare area knows that attribution is a slippery slope, and with the quick typing of a few characters on a keyboard, an attacker can choose to be anyone they want to appear to be. Officials pounding any “attribution” on any pulpit, continue to learn nothing, and attackers will continue with their cyber-shenanigans. These discussions (cyber deterrence) are not scaring, nor deterring anyone. Attribution is a rather mystical thing when it comes to cyber-attacks. “Cyber related” companies offering response based services - incident response, investigations - know this very well and play up the fear to continue to sell their services. As an offensive penetration tester, I have many tricks up my sleeve that can deceive your best firewalls, intrusion prevention, and detection systems. and have staff chasing ghosts. As an offensive penetration tester, I am paid to test systems, processes and policies, and if I can perform such wonderful feats of “disinformation,” you better believe that other attackers can do similar, if not worse disinformation…

get the disease. Since rats were always present in these crowded cities, they were able to spread the disease all around. Especially on boats and large ship that had rats that were carried from far lands, made it easy for the disease to be spread among continents. The outbreak was so severe, that if something like this was to happen in this day and age, we would still not be prepared for it (Cantor 4). This is one cause of the Black Death which was thought to be more final than Noah 's flood…

The passage that I found more interesting and caught my attention on how to be a good listener was “Be a Detective”. This makes sense to me because you want to get to the point of there story. You want to understand why there going through that and what's really happening you want them to be able to talk to you and end up figuring there own problem by hearing themselves of what they're saying. It feels get when people let you figure out your own problem and it’s good for the other person because…

We all have an idea of what we maybe want to do in life, but sometimes we think we want to do that idea that is in our mind because it is in our mind but other cases we want to do it because the idea is there for the moment. Throughout my life I have never really knew what I wanted to do for my occupation. I thought being of computer science, a writer, and a doctor but those didn’t fit well with who I am as a person. The only thing I am most capable of at this moment is being a gymnastic coach.…

the United States of America a better place economical wise. 37% of teachers in a 2012 conference even use cursive according to the text, therefore the popularity of cursive has already started decreasing if the teachers are ready to move on then we should to.

heart. While desiring honor, respect, and care, he fails to deliver any of these things to his wife. Although he appears to believe in universal values, such as morality and duty, his derogatory treatment towards Nora and lack of empathy contradict the words from his lips (105). As early as the first lines of the play, the viewer sees his child-like and stereotypical perception of Nora, instead of viewing her as an independent and respectable woman (46). Furthermore, he completely condemns his…

How would it feel to backtrack in time? Back to a time when the American people were happy? Nevertheless, the best nostalgia is the 1893 World’s Fair, where America is experiencing new technology. There are multiple ways to describe this modern time turning into a historical event. The world's fair impacted Americans history from an economic, social, and a political viewpoint. The world's fair was the about the 400th year celebration of Christopher Columbus's voyage to America. Multiple…

My very first organized basketball game, three years ago, I was a scared, nervous, and excited mess. Wait, let's backtrack to weeks before the game. The level of anticipation among my team for the first game was sky-high. Our team, Purdue, hadn't known each other at all before we were grouped together. Over a span of a few brief weeks, we became quite close. Game day! I was one of the last of my teammates to arrive to the game. Coach Tom, coincidentally also my brother's name, supplied the…

On an early Friday morning in 1997 at her Los Angeles home , Pulitzer prize winning national bestselling author Sonia Nazario, had an unexpected and personal conversation with her Guatemalan housekeeper Carmen. This conversation sparked a curiosity on why mothers from Central America, like Carmen, would leave their children & family for a life in the United States. This curiosity ultimately led to Nazario creating her book, “Enrique's Journey”, in which she uses several rhetorical devices,…

Now lets backtrack, During world War I, thousands of Africans served the British government in the war as “carriers” instead of soldiers yet they still suffered around 50,000 deaths. Kenya was powerless, when the British Settlers took their land, Kenya was able to do nothing. Matter in fact, in document 4 it clearly states “ most Africans wound up accepting the authority of the colonial state.” Which provides evidence to the fact that Africans had no choice but to deal with the colonization…
