For this assignment learners will use the Internet to do research on vulnerabilities associated with a specific OS (e,g. Windows, Linux, etc), network device (Switches, Routers, IDS, etc), or other non-computer technology device (Raspberry PI, RFID, USB).
You must choose one specific subject area to write your paper. For example, ‘USB’ is not specific. ‘RFID’ is not specific. 3com USB vulnerabilities IS specific. RFID vulnerabilities in Credit Cards IS specific.
Once you have made your selection, using a minimum of 3 current sources (the textbooks cannot be a source) write a double spaced 3-5 page research APA format paper (a paper, not just a bullet list of response answers). Note, your cover page, and your reference page, are not included in the 3-5 page requirement. You should have 3-5 pages of written text in addition to your cover page and reference pages. Use in-text citations when paraphrasing and quoting sources to avoid plagiarism.
Goal
In your paper:
1. At minimum, discuss three different vulnerabilities you found in your specific subject area research.
2. Discuss how those vulnerabilities can be exploited
3. Discuss available countermeasures for each vulnerability you mentioned.
