“Ethical Hacking” Select one of the following and discuss in no less than three paragraphs, and have at least one response to another student of at least one paragraph:
• Suppose a coworker approaches you and asks what an ethical hacker does. She does not understand the role that an ethical hacker plays in the security industry and assumes that such a hacker intentionally causes damage. Explain to your hypothetical coworker what an ethical hacker is and the fundamental manner in which such a hacker differs from a black hat hacker. Justify your response with an example of each type of hacker, and indicate the role each hacker plays in your given example.
• Explain the main differences between white hat and grey hat hackers. Provide a brief example of a grey hat hacker. Describe the role that you believe grey hat hackers play in the security industry, and indicate whether or not you believe grey hat hacking is equivalent to ethical hacking. Provide a rationale for your response.

Assignment: Web Application Attack Scenario

Due Week 9 and worth 220 points

Suppose that you are currently employed as an Information Security Manager for a medium-sized software development and outsourcing services company. The Software Development Director has asked you to provide a detailed analytical report for her department regarding the most common web application threats and the manner in which their products could compromise customer financial data.

She wants your recommendations on which threats and/or vulnerabilities the company should focus on and your recommendation for mitigation. The products in question use Microsoft SQL Server databases and IIS Web servers.

Write a paper with no less than four pages in which you:

  1. Analyze the common threats/vulnerabilities to data systems such as web applications and data servers. Speculate on the greatest area of vulnerability and potential for damage and/or data loss of such data systems.
  2. Devise at least one attack scenario, as an example, where a hacker could use the area of vulnerability that you chose above in order to gain access to a network or sensitive data. Examine the primary ways in which the hacker could execute such an attack, and suggest the strategic manner in which a security professional could prevent the attack.
  3. Explore the primary role that the human element could play in adding to the attack scenario, if appropriate. You may wish to decide if the human component is critical in protection from that type of attack.
  4. Draw specific lessons and recommendations as part of the conclusion, and have a strong concluding paragraph. Be sure to revise your introduction to reflect what the paper accomplished once you finish your first draft.
  5. Use no less than five quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.
    Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
  • Be typed, double-spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

Grading for this assignment will be based on answer quality, logic / organization of the paper, and language and writing skills, using the following rubric.
