Project 4: Human Resources Insider Threat Guidelines
Step 4: Project Practice – SIMTRAY Firion: Day 3

In this step, you should continue to explore the scenarios within SIMTRAY, “Firion: Find Your Way in Three Days.” If you have not already, you will most likely encounter the following topics in this exercise: hacker profiles, insider threats, laws concerning privacy, anonymity, and digital rights management. Document specific issues that you experience in the exercise that you would like to include in your presentation. Think about how these issues might be addressed by guidelines and policy.

The SIMTRAY will provide you with scores to give you a sense on how well you are grasping the concepts. The sections are timed for 30 minutes; however, you can run the SIMTRAY as many times as you need. Compile your recorded scores, lessons learned, and documented industry issues into a one-page report. You will use this report as Appendix B to your presentation.

Submit your Firion SIMTRAY Report for feedback.

Windows Hardening Recommendations

Scenario

As a security administrator for Always Fresh, you have been instructed to ensure that Windows authentication, networking, and data access are hardened. This will help to provide a high level of security.

The following are issues to be addressed through hardening techniques:

 Previous attempts to protect user accounts have resulted in users writing long passwords down and placing them near their workstations. Users should not write down passwords or create passwords that attackers could easily guess, such as words founds in the dictionary.

 Every user, regardless of role, must have at least one unique user account. A user who operates in multiple roles may have multiple unique user accounts. Users should use the account for its intended role only.

 Anonymous users of the web server applications should only be able to access servers located in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). No anonymous web application users should be able to access any protected resources in the Always Fresh IT infrastructure.

 To protect servers from attack, each server should authenticate connections based on the source computer and user.

Tasks

 Exp19_Excel_Ch01_Cap_Ticket_Sales

Project Description:

You work in the accounting division at Sugarhouse District Theatre, where touring Broadway plays and musicals are performed. You started a worksheet that lists the number of seats in each section (orchestra and the tiers) and the number of seats sold for a specific performance date. You will calculate the percentage of sold and unsold seats and gross revenue by section. You will format the worksheet to improve readability and copy the final worksheet to use as a template to enter data for the next day’s performance.

Start   Excel. Download and open the file named Exp19_Excel_Ch01_Cap_TicketSales.xlsx. Grader has automatically added   your last name to the beginning of the filename. 

Centering the title Sugarhouse District Theatre over the   data columns, increasing the font size, and applying a different font color   will make it stand out as a title.
 

  Merge and center the title over the range A1:G1, change the font size to 20,   and apply Purple font color.

You want the performance date to   display, including the weekday, centered below the title.
 

  Type 4/16/2021 in cell A2, apply the Long Date   number format (which includes the day of the week), apply the Note cell   style, and merge and center the date over the range A2:G2.

Now that you have formatted the   worksheet, you need to select margin settings so that any printouts you make   will look professional.
 

  Set a 1″ top margin and center the worksheet horizontally between the   left and right margins.

Insert a footer with the text Exploring   Series on the   left side, the sheet name code in the center, and the file name code on the   right side.

You want to insert a new row for   Orchestra Back.
 

  Insert a new row above row 9, between Right   and Left. The new row is row 9.   Copy the data from cell A5 to cell A9 and change the data in cell A9 from Front to Back.

Indenting the specific seating   sections will distinguish the specific section locations from the main   section headings. After indenting text, the column needs to be widened to   display the text.
 

  Indent twice the data in the ranges A6:A8, A10:A12, and A14:A17. Then change   the width of column A to 18.

The column heading in cell A4 is   formatted. You want to copy those formats to the other headings on row 4.
 

  Use Format Painter to copy the formats in cell A4 to the range B4:G4.

Wrapping text within each cell   will improve the readability of the column headings.
 

  Wrap text and horizontally center the labels in the range A4:G4 and set the   height of row 4 to 30.

You decided to change the word Purchased to the word Sold.
 

  Use Find and Replace to find all occurrences of Purchased and replace them with Sold.

The worksheet contains spelling   errors that need to be corrected.
 

  Check the spelling in the worksheet and correct all spelling errors.

Enter the formula to calculate   the percentage of seats sold for the performance.
 

  Calculate the Percentage Sold in cell E6 by dividing the Seats Sold by the   Seats in Section. Copy the formula to the range E7:E17. Delete the formula in   cells E9 and E13 since those are empty rows.

Enter the formula to calculate   the percentage of seats not sold.
 

  Calculate the Percentage Not Sold in cell F6 by subtracting the Percentage   Sold from 1. Copy the formula to the range F7:F17. Delete the formula in   cells F9 and F13 since those are empty rows

Enter the formula to calculate   the gross revenue from the seats that were sold.
 

  Calculate the Gross Revenue in cell G6 by multiplying the Seats Sold by the   Price Per Seat. Copy the formula to the range G7:G17. Delete the formula in   cells G9 and G13 since those are empty rows.

Formatting the monetary values   in the Price Per Seat and Gross Revenue columns improves the readability.
 

  Apply Accounting Number Format with zero decimal places to the ranges D6:D17   and G6:G17.

The formula results in the   Percentage Sold and Percentage Not Sold columns are hard to read as decimal   values. Formatting the results to display percent symbols will improve the   readability.
 

  Apply Percentage Style with one decimal place to the range E6:F17.

After reviewing the data, you   decide to move the Price Per Seat to be to the left of the Gross Revenue   data.
 

  Insert a new column G. Select and move the range D4:D17 to the range G4:G17.   Delete the empty column D.

You want to center the values in   the Seats in Section and Seats Sold columns.
 

  Center horizontally the data in the range B6:C17. Apply Align Right and   indent twice the data in the range D6:E17.

Borders will help people   distinguish different seating sections.
 

  Apply Outside Borders to the range A4:G4, the range A5:G8, A9:G12, and   A13:G17 one range at a time.

Rename Sheet 1 as 4-16-2021. Copy the worksheet, place the duplicate to the   right, and rename it as 4-17-2021.

You want to use the duplicate   worksheet to be ready to enter data for the April 17 performance data.
 

  Change the date in cell A2 to 4/17/2021. Keep the Long Date Format. Delete the values in   the range C6:C17.

Save and close Exp19_Excel_Ch01_Cap_TicketSales.xlsx.   Exit Excel. Submit the file as directed.

 Completion of the dissertation primarily rests upon you, the doctoral student. However, research indicates that self-regulated learning strategies predict the elapsed time along the dissertation journey (Dunn & Rakes, 2015; Kelley & Salisbury-Glennon, 2016). One such strategy is the creation of a timeline. This cyclical process has the learner plan out a task, monitor their performance along major milestones, reflect on their progress, and then use the reflection to adjust the timeline. However, to be effective, this strategy needs to be personalized for each learner’s purpose (Zimmerman, 2002).

Using the attached template as a guide, you are to create such a timeline – a roadmap, if you will, along your dissertation journey. Incorporated within the timeline are major milestones. Build into the timeline goals for each milestone with specific dates. You may also want to include specific contact information as well as possible obstacles that may arise. This will be a tool you will bring to each consultation with your professor/chair. Most importantly, it is to be a useable point of reference along your dissertation journey.

1. dollar.py   (30 Points)

Write a program that finds number of Dollars, quarters, dimes, nickels, pennies given an amount.

Hints:

              Prompt user to enter an amount

              Find number of one dollars (remember to convert total amounts to pennies)  

              Find number of quarters in the remaining amount

              Find number of dimes in the remaining amount

              Find number of nickels in the remaining amount

              Find number of pennies in the remaining amount

              Display results

Expected Output:

Your amount 10.63 consists of

               10 dollars

               2 quarters

               1 dimes

               0 nickels

               3 pennies

3. dates.py   (20 Points)

Design a program that asks the user to enter a month (in numeric form), a day, and a 2 digit year. The program should then determine whether the month * day is equal to the year. If so, it should display a message saying the date is magic. Otherwise, it should display a message saying the date not magic.

Hint:

Prompt user to the month, day, and year in two digit format

Verify the month input if it is between 1 and 12. Display error message otherwise.

Verify the day input if it is between 1 and 31. Display error message otherwise.

Verify the year input if it is between 0 and 99. Display error message otherwise.

If the inputs are valid, evaluate the magic date.

Expected output: 

If user enters a month as 7, day as 3, year as 21, the it should display as follows:

The date is  7 / 3 / 21
This is a magic date.

4. leapYear.py (30)

Write a program that asks the User to enter a year. The program should display the number of days in February that year. Use the following criteria to identify leap years: 

   1. Determine whether the year is divisible by 100.  If it is, then it is a leap year and if only if it is also divisible            by 400. For example,        

        2000 is a leap year but 2100 is not.

    2. If the year is not divisible by 100, then it is a leap year and if only if it is also divisible by 4. For example, 

         2008 is a leap year but 2009 is not.

Hints:

              Prompt user to enter a year

             Use nested if to verify if the year is divisible by both 100 & 400

                  determine if the leap year is ‘True or False’

            Use Else to o verify if the year is divisible by 4  (if year %4 == 0: )

                  determine if the leap year is ‘True or False’

             Now use IF and Else to print if the year entered is a leap year or not.

Output

If entered 2008, the output should display: That is a leap year. February has 29 days.

If entered 2009, the output should display:  That is not a leap year. February has 28 days.
