  • Evaluation of the CSF Firewall
    Bachelor Thesis in Software Engineering, 15 credits May 2013 Evaluation of the CSF Firewall Ahmad Mudhar Contact Information: Ahmad Mudhar E-mail: [email protected] University advisor: Kari Rönkkö Nina Fogelström School of Computing Internet : www.bth.se/com Blekinge Institute of Technology Phone : +46 455 38 50 00 SE-371 79 Karlskrona Fax : +46 455 38 50 57 Sweden 1 Abstract The subject of web server security is vast, and it is becoming bigger as time passes by. Every year, researches, both private and public, are adding to the number of possible threats to the security of web servers, and coming up with possible solutions to them. A number of these solutions are considered to be expensive, complex, and incredibly time-consuming, while not able to create the perfect web to challenge any breach to the server security. In the study that follows, an attempt will be made to check whether a particular firewall can ensure a strong security measure and deal with some security breaches or severe threat to an existing web server. The research conducted has been done with the CSF Firewall, which provides a suit of scripts that ensure a portal’s security through a number of channels. The experiments conducted under the research provided extremely valuable insights about the application in hand, and the number of ways the CSF Firewall can help in safety of a portal against Secured Shell (SSH) attacks, dedicated to break the security of it, in its initial stages. It further goes to show how simple it is to actually detect the prospective attacks, and subsequently stop the Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, as well as the port scans made to the server, with the intent of breaching the security, by finding out an open port.

Virtual Organization Clusters: Self-Provisioned Clouds on the Grid A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Computer Science by Michael A. Murphy May 2010 Accepted by: Dr. Sebastien Goasguen, Committee Chair Dr. Jim Martin Dr. Walt Ligon Dr. Robert Geist Abstract Virtual Organization Clusters (VOCs) provide a novel architecture for overlaying dedicated cluster systems on existing grid infrastructures. VOCs provide customized, homogeneous execution environments on a per-Virtual Organization basis, without the cost of physical cluster construction or the overhead of per-job containers. Administrative access and overlay network capabilities are granted to Virtual Organizations (VOs) that choose to implement VOC technology, while the system remains completely transparent to end users and non-participating VOs. Unlike alternative systems that require explicit leases, VOCs are autonomically self-provisioned according to configurable usage policies. As a grid computing architecture, VOCs are designed to be technology agnostic and are implementable by any combination of software and services that follows the Virtual Organization Cluster Model.

    Liang, M., Chu, S., Siu, F., & Zhou, A. (2009). Comparing User Experiences in Using Twiki & Mediawiki to Facilitate Collaborative Learning. Proceedings of the 2009 International Conference on Knowledge Management [CD-ROM]. Hong Kong, Dec 3-4, 2009. COMPARING USER EXPERIENCES IN USING TWIKI & MEDIAWIKI TO FACILITATE COLLABORATIVE LEARNING MICHAEL LIANG* IT and Management Consulting Division, WiderWorld Company Ltd. [email protected] † SAM CHU , FELIX SIU and AUDREY ZHOU Faculty of Education, the University of Hong Kong † [email protected] This research seeks to determine the perceived effectiveness of using TWiki and MediaWiki in collaborative work and knowledge management; and to compare the use of TWiki and MediaWiki in terms of user experiences in the master’s level of study at the University of Hong Kong. Through a multiple case study approach, the study adopted a mixed methods research design which used both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyze findings from specific user groups in two study programmes. In the study, both wiki platforms were regarded as suitable tools for group work co-construction, which were found to be effective in improving group collaboration and work quality. Wikis were also viewed as enabling tools for knowledge management. MediaWiki was rated more favorably than TWiki, especially in the ease of use and enjoyment experienced. The paper should be of interest to educators who may want to explore wiki as a platform to enhance students’ collaborative group work. 1. Introduction Rote learning, which focuses on the direct transmission of knowledge from teachers to students using a traditional didactic approach, is the prevalent norm in education in many countries (Jang, 2007).

To accomplish this goal, the work was divided into multiple steps: • Ensure that the Cluster is functional, including the compute nodes, the Storage Element (SE), the Compute Element (CE), the NAS units, and the UPS units. • Reconfigure MySQL after installing the nodes, so that the website is accessible. • Set up Condor, the job submission software, to automatically run data between the different steps of the simulation process. • Install and set up the CMS simulation software, including Root. Before this project began, the cluster was still in the first step. The new CE had just been installed and set up, including: the ROCKS OS installation, the zpool for the OS drives, and most of the node integration. The remaining tasks to complete this step included verifying the node integration, though there was also ongoing general maintenance of the cluster such as hard drive and battery replacements.
