A security officer must be offensive and defensive.Being attacked by an attacker is not an option. They need to be creative and they may need to think like an attacker. That is why learning the art of penetration testing is crucial in education level. The basic fortress of security is to protect a network with firewall. To possess knowledge in security, early exposure must be nurtured from undergraduate level to ease the development of knowledge and learning process. Current scholars who are studying in security field seldom have the opportunity to exercise hands-on activity in class due to time constraint and lack of infrastructure in an educational organization. To support the initiative of providing exposure among the scholars and to overcome the aforementioned problems, an approach to develop a portable penetration testing and firewall configuration toolkit has been proposed as a learning aid for the students to perform simulation on conducting penetration testing and configuring firewall for beginners. From the proposed toolkit, scholars are able to execute basic penetration testing, network monitoring, port scanning, firewall configuration, and web and filtering at anywhere and anytime. By having this proposed toolkit, the teaching and learning process will be much easier, efficient and time saving compared to conventional methods of teaching. As a conclusion, the proposed plug-and-play toolkit implements benefit user in terms of time saving, early exposure and facilitate teaching and learning session effectively.
In the last decade, online newspapers have become a viable alternative to conventional hardcopy papers. Many studies have shown that digital media have increased their share of Internet audience. In this study, we use time series analysis to investigate the user behavior in accessing online newspapers and to describe the important features of the time series pattern. Data was gathered from the daily Malaysian newspaper, Berita Harian for the month of April 2012. In the initial phase, we carried out a basic analysis of time series analysis to identify user access behavior in terms of the days and hours of access. In the next stage, we conducted analysis on the user agent, that is, the different types of browser, devices and external links. This analysis could reveal whether the ubiquitous communication and computing has any effect to the online newspaper industry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
