Linux Implementation Proposal: Client Response Memo

 Hide Assignment InformationTurnitin®Turnitin® enabledThis assignment will be submitted to Turnitin®.Instructions

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with the following questions and concerns:

(12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.)

  • How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers?

(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)

  • End users have expressed some concern about completing their day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files?

(12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored.)

  • The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows?

(2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position.)

  • Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your recommendation the best option?

(10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies.)

  • How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software?
  • How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types?

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality sources.

(1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.)

Create a memorandum template with a header of your own design or choosing, brief introduction, addresses Faster Computing, Inc’s questions, and summarizes your position on adopting the specific version of Linux.

(1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.)

Your memorandum should not include spelling or grammatical errors. Any Linux commands must be displayed in lower case. Information technology acronyms (e.g., SSH or FTP) should be explained for the reader.

Network Security

See the following steps.

1. Accept a user password of length N as keyboard input to your program. You can determine your own length N.

2. Compute the hash of the password from step 1.

Your hash function H() is simply the checksum. (See Assignment 2)

3. Now you become an attacker and try to find the password of length N.

Try every combination of length N password and for each combination, compute the hash and compare to the hash of the password from step 2.

Measure execution time.

4. Now let’s reinforce our password using the password salt. Accept an arbitrary non-negative integer number as keyboard input to your program.

5. Compute the hash of the concatenated password salt and password from step 4 and step 1. To compute the password salt portion of the checksum, you can treat the entire password salt as EITHER a single integer OR multiple one-byte integers.

6. Now you become an attacker and try to find the concatenated password salt and password.

Try every combination of an arbitrary non-negative integer number and length N password and for each combination, compute the hash and compare to the hash from step 5.

Measure execution time.

NOTE: your program should have separate functions for the checksum and the two dictionary attacks with and without the password salt by the attacker.

in python | c++ any please

Here is the assignment 2 which has checkSum function ….

#include

using namespace std;

//checksum function to add all the characters of the string in ASCII codes

long checksum(string input)

{

//here we change the string value to ASCII value

long value = 0;

for (char a : input)

return value;

}

// function for the message modification by the attacker.

string modification(string input)

{

string total = “”;

for (char a : input)

{

total += min(126, a + 1);

}

return total;

}

int main()

{

//here we accept the message from the user

string message;

//asking user input

cout << "Pease enter the message: ";

//storing the user input

cin >> message;

//here we accept secret key from the user

string finalMessage= secretKey + message;

//here calling the function checksum

long sender_checksum = checksum(finalMessage);

// here we accept attack secret from user

string attackKey;

cout << "Please enter the attacker secret key: ";

cin >> attackKey;

// here we modify original message from calling above function

string modifiedMessage = modification(message);

// here is the final attacker msg

string finalattackMessage = attackKey + modifiedMessage;

//here we compute the checksum

long attackerChecksum = checksum(finalattackMessage);

// here concatenate secret of sender and modified msg

string finalsenderModified = secretKey + modifiedMessage;

// here compute the checksum

long sendermodifiedChecksum = checksum(finalsenderModified);

cout << "The sender original checksum is: " << sender_checksum << "n";

cout << "The attacker checksum is: " << attackerChecksum<< "n";

cout << "The sender modified checksum is: " << sendermodifiedChecksum << "nn";

//compare chekcsum from steps 7 and 6

if (attackerChecksum == sendermodifiedChecksum)

cout << "The attacker checksum and sender modified checksum are equal";

else

cout << "The attacker checksum and sender modified checksum are not equal";

cout << "nn";

//compare checksums from steps 3 and 6

if (sender_checksum == attackerChecksum)
