ISE 640 Final Project Forensic Notes
Use the information in this document to help you complete your final project.ÿ
Drew Patrick, a director-level employee, is stealing intellectual property from a manufacturing company. The company is heavily involved in high-end development of widgets. Drew has access to corporate secrets and files. He is planning on leaving the company, taking the intellectual property with him, and going to work for a competitor. There is suspicion of him doing this, so human resources (HR) notified the information technology (IT) department to monitor Drew?s past history. An internal investigation is launched due to Drew?s abnormal behavior. The IT department confirms that they have found large files and emails. Forensics identified unauthorized access, transmission, and storage of intellectual property by Drew. Evidence found will be used to support legal civil and criminal proceedings.ÿ
Scenario ACME Construction Company designs, manufactures, and sells large construction vehicles that can cost upwards of a million dollars. They spent hundreds of thousands of hours redesigning their premier excavator. Every piece that goes into the excavator is individually designed to maximize the longevity of the equipment. Known for attention to detail, high-quality work, and industry innovation, this painstaking work is what sets ACME Construction company apart and is attributed for the excellent reputation they enjoy. This, in turn, allows them to charge a premium on their exceptionally well-built products.ÿ
Drew Patrick is a senior manager directly involved with the overall development of ACME?s excavators. His role provides him with access to design documentation, schematics, support documents, and any other technical references maintained in the company?s research and development (R&D) database. The R&D database is maintained by ACME?s information technology (IT) department, which is supported by a security operations center (SOC). The SOC uses Snort as a core component of their security information and event management (SIEM) system to keep tabs on network traffic, authentication requests, file access, and log file analysis.ÿ
The SIEM alerted SOC personnel of potential peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic originating from the internet protocol (IP) address associated with Drew?s computer. However, analysis of Active Directory logs indicated that Drew was not logged into his account at the time the files were transferred via the P2P application. ACME enforces two-factor authentication and does not allow for computer sharing. The SOC personnel began an incident report based on the identification of P2P traffic, which violates company policy. As per company policy, the SOC personnel gave human resources (HR) and the legal team the incident report. The legal team asked for further investigation. Upon further inspection of the P2P activity, several file transfers were discovered. The files transferred match the names of files in the R&D database containing intellectual property developed by Drew?s development team. Additionally, the files were transferred to IP addresses that are not owned or controlled by ACME Corporation.ÿ
Analysis of the server access logs indicated that Drew had been logging into the R&D database for several weeks prior to the external file transfers taking place. Network logs from the Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPSs) indicated that the files of interest had been transferred to Drew?s desktop computer prior to the external transfer. ACME has a strict policy against maintaining intellectual property anywhere other than the designated servers. File access logs on the R&D servers confirmed that the account belonging to Drew had copied the files in question.ÿ
At this point, fearing a loss of intellectual property, in addition to numerous policy violations, ACME called in the digital forensic team to take over the investigation. The forensics team proceeded to capture the log files from relevant computer systems and created a forensically sound copy of the hard disk drive on Drew?s computer. The log files investigated included the corporate mail, domain name server (DNS), and dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) servers, as well as physical access logs. Additionally, packet capture logs from the firewalls and intrusion detection system (IDS) were gathered and analyzed. This detailed investigation revealed that file transfers of intellectual property were indeed done from Drew?s computer, however, Drew?s account was not logged in at the time of the transfer. The only account active on the suspect computer was an anonymous account that had been created on 9/17/2016 at 9:57 p.m.ÿ
The following notes were provided by the Forensic Team:ÿ
Forensic Team Investigation Notes Notes from the investigative team about the forensic findings of the hard drive image obtained from Drew Patrick?s hard drive:ÿ
? Chain of custody document was begun with the sizing of the Western Digital Hard Drive 500 GB with serial number NB497356F from Drew Patrick?s computer. ? Hard drive was duplicated using forensic toolkit (FTK) software to preserve the original hard drive image. A hash was created for the original and the copied image to prove both images were the same. ? The operating system of the image was Windows-based. The operating system used a new technology file system (NTFS) file structure. ? The hard drive was analyzed using Autopsy and Windows Forensic Toolchest. The sort and index functions were used to isolate the files needed for further analysis. These files include types SQL, Excel, email, chat, and HTML. Slack space was also analyzed.ÿ
Files and Findings EMAIL (Microsoft Outlook): Numerous emails were found that contained references to proprietary information. Some emails were to non-ACME Corporation email accounts, and they promised information pertaining to equipment design. Follow-up emails were found that asked for assurance of a promised managerial position.ÿ
CHAT (AOL Instant Messenger): Several chat conversations were recovered containing information about possession of proprietary documents.ÿ
SQL (Microsoft Database): SQL database files revealed proprietary information and connection logs to a remote SQL server. Two additional SQL database files were encrypted and were not successfully unencrypted.ÿ
EXCEL (Microsoft Excel): Numerous Excel files were located on the hard drive. These files contained parts list and parts specifications concerning proprietary construction equipment. These files had csv and xls extensions.ÿ
HTML: Recovered internet web browser cache revealed that the dark web was searched for proprietary information brokers. An email address was created to correspond in the dark web for buyer transactions called [emailÿprotected] Internet cache also revealed that YouTube was searched for the subjects ?selling intellectual property? and ?selling on the dark web.? Recovered internet browser history revealed pictures and illustrations on encrypting SQL database files. Internet browser history also revealed searches concerning how to exploit the vulnerabilities of an SQL database.ÿ
SLACK SPACE (hidden data and temporary files): Hidden information in the slack space was revealed to contain temporary internet files on searches for ?advertising stolen data? and ?hacking sql servers.? These files, once revealed, were in plain text and read using Notepad.

is iran an islamic republic, a theocracy, or something else?
ÿRESPOND to each post150 words EACH
ÿ
POST ONE
ÿÿÿÿÿAccording to Kesselman, Krieger and Joseph, ?Iran is a mixture of theocracy and democracy?. (Kesselman, Krieger and Joseph, 2013)ÿ My understanding after the assigned reading is that Iran is technically more a theocracy then a democracy and the alleged democracy in place is not a democracy at all. The only democratic-like thing is the election of the president and clerics but they may also be skewed due to the control over the media. The president is elected by the people but the high religious figures are the ones with the real power. They control the functions of the government most of the time.
Another factor that comes into play when trying to understand the political system of Iran is the type of ?democracy? that it uses. In a true democracy all citizens have equal rights. But, in Iran where it is ruled and inhabited by a certain sect of the Islam religion, Shi?ism, only the Shia are looked at as equals. Christians, Jews (the very small percentages) and even Sunni Muslims are looked at differently. According to Kesselman, Krieger and Joseph, the amount of Muslims in Iran that are Shia account for roughly 90% of the population. The remaining 10% probably have no voice at all. (Kesselman, Krieger and Joseph, 2013)
Because the Islamic Republic of Iran is a just that, an Islamic Republic, I am not sure that it is capable of true democracy. Two things in the Kesselman text stood out to me. First, when the fact that Khomeini said that Islam and democracy are compatible. I will argue that they are not since women and people of different religions are not viewed as equal. Another thing that surprised me at first but does not at all now is how Khomeini allegedly sent funds to fundamentalist groups around the world. What is more interesting is that Iran was initially helping with the Global War on Terrorism until Iraq came into the picture. (Kesselman, Krieger and Joseph, 2013)
The legal system also is that of a non-democratic country. Sharia law is in effect and this can cause or lead to oppression for the minorities. This article talks about the oppression that exists in the country – http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/11774302/Irans-reformists-hope-regime-will-temper-its-harshness.html. The people who came out and contest elections or speak poorly about leadership are jailed. ÿÿ

POST TWO
From the readings of Kesselman, Iran seems to be a mixture of theocracy and democracy based on clerical authority and popular sovereignty, on the divine right of the clergy and the rights of the people based on early Islam and from modern democratic principles. A theocracy is a state dominated by clergy who rule on the ground that they are the one and only intrepretors of God’s will and God’s Laws. The Majiles is the Iranian Parliment from the Arabic term meaning assembly. The Guardian Council is a committee that was created in the Iranian Constitution to oversee the Parliment.
Iran has a 70% rate people who are employed and 83% are literate, they also are the second largest oil produce in the world. With these statistics Iran seems to very democratic and people consider Iran a third world country when in fact it is quite the opposite. Shiism is the official religion of Iran and Iran can also be considered a state of Islamism which is similar to political Islam and fundamentalism. The official religion of Shiism binds the elite with the masses, the government with the governed, and the rulers with the ruled.ÿIran is democratic in the sense that they conduct elections by the public, including the President, but considered a theocracy because the religioius clerics control the most powerful political positions and contains elements of democracy with some of the higher up government officials.
The State of Iran rests on the Iranian Constitution (after the 1979 Revolution) and the requirement of the ruler of Iran must be the best one qualified to intrepret Islam and enforce Muslim Laws upon the people, this is enshrined in the Consitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The Constitution allowss for full power in the jurisprudent to the one considered the “Supreme Leader”. The Constitution establishes a Parliment known formerly as the Islamic Consultative Assembly. Theocracy comes into play again with the consultative bodies giving absolute power in all matters to the Supreme leader and the Guardian Council. One half of the members are chosen by the Supreme Leader and the other half are picked by the Parliment to try to keep everything in balance and with fairness to both sides.
Theocracy comes into play again with some Articles in the Iranian Constitution such as Article 11 that state “All Muslims from a single nation and the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran has the duty of forumulating it general policies with a view to cultivate the friendship and cultural unity of the Islamic world.” Article 12 goes on to say there is to be respect given to all the difference schools of thought and practice in regard to religious views.
I read several articles about Iran and the first I read is titled: Bob Schieffer says Iran President Hassan Rouhani has more cabinet members with American PH.D.s than Obama. Bob Schieffer made this statement in 2013 at a forum for the Center for Stategic and International Studies. Bob Schieffer believes that Rouhani is more moderate and willing to cooperate with the West because of his cabinet members. A point was made in this article that really surprised me as it says “Iran has more holders of American PH.D.s in its presidential cablinet than France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia or Spain combined (Naim, Moises, 2013). This is quite astounding and it would make one believe that with these facts Iran would be far more democratic than they are given credit for. I will post the link below.
Another article I found fascinating is about a book written byFlynt and Hillary Mann, titled “Going to Tehran” and it is very controversial because it focuses on how the West does not tell the truth about Iran. The book first challenges the notion that the American government says Iran is an irrational state they also make the point about Iran being a theoretic dictatorship and they state most “Middle Easterners do not think Islamic features of Iran’s politcal system make it undemocratic.” ÿThis would be a very interesting book to read and makes me see Iran in a whole new light.

Iran?s unique political history has helped form it into what they are today which has allowed the country to have features that combine a theocracy, democracy, and an authoritarian regime. Today Iran is known as an Islamic Republic thanks to their 1979 revolution in which Iran?s Shah, who was their ruler for nearly forty years, fled the country which ended the last of the Old Persian monarch. Since the 1979 revolution Iran?s political system has been based on both its popular sovereignty and its clerical authority which has led Iran to have some democratic and undemocratic features as well.
When we analyze Iran?s power structure today we can see that it does have similar democratic features as the U.S. For instance, Iran just like the U.S has a constitution, a president (Hassan Rouhani), political parties, elections, and an administrative structure that consists of an executive, legislative, and a judicial branch. Iran?s Executive branch consists of their President Hassan Rouhani and his cabinet which he chooses, but they have to be approved by the Majles (parliament) (Kesselman, 2012, p580). In addition, every four years Iran?s president is also chosen by the general electorate.
When bills have to be presented and passed they go to Iran?s legislature. Iran?s legislature consists of 290 seats, all of which were formed by the Majles. However, once bills are passed they do not become law until they are approved by Iran?s clerically dominated council of guardians (Kesselman, 2012, p580). Iran?s judiciary branch also plays a vital role within their Islamic system. In addition, the authority of Iran?s judiciary branch falls under their Supreme Leader (Ali, Khamenei). After Iran?s 1979 revolution their judicial system lost six decades of modernization forcing them to do a complete overhaul of their legal system which has transformed the country today.
According to Kesselman, Iran?s most undemocratic feature tends to lye with the authority of its supreme leader (Ali, Khamenei). Despite Iran?s complex political system their supreme leader has often been accused of rigging votes and electing only the presidential candidates who have complete allegiance to him and him alone (Freeman, 2013). These undemocratic practices have led to widespread violence in 2009 and if these types of activities continue the people of Iran are sure to revolt again which could destabilize the country. ÿ ÿ ÿ ÿÿ
GCU Community Health Nurses Role Discussion
Explain the role of the community health nurse in partnership with community stakeholders for population health promotion. Explain why it is important to appraise community resources (nonprofit, spiritual/religious, etc.) as part of a community assessment and why these resources are important in population health promotion.Example 1 melena: A community health nurse’s role is to promote, preserve, and protect the health of the public. This is vital in geographic locations where healthcare services are not easily assessable (Green, 2018). Some institutions and organizations that are in partnership with stakeholders to promote health are the Nurse-Family Partnership and American Red Cross, Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC (Silva, 2022). Community health nurses can help the community by providing education to prevent teen pregnancy, obesity, poor nutrition, smoking, sexually transmitted diseases and infections, and substance abuse. They evaluate the delivery of patient care services and wellness projects in each community. They institute health and wellness programs and research to improve healthcare. This can help individuals in the community to maintain healthy lifestyles and lower their risks of illness and hospitalization (NSU, 2021).Green, S. (2018). Community & Public Health: The Future of Health Care. Grand Canyon University. Northeastern State University. (2021). The Nurse?s Role in Community Health. NSU. Silva, C. (2022). The vital role of Community Health Nursing. Herzing University. example 2 alanna : Community health nurses have an important role in partnership with community stakeholders for population health promotion. It is crucial for nurses to understand differences in spiritual beliefs, ethnicity, culture, and socioeconomic conditions, (Green, 2018). This is because they have a role in creating models that can help promote the health of the community. It is important to appraise community resources as part of a community assessment because it not only aids in understanding the importance of them but also what is needed in order to further the agenda of health promotion. It assesses what interventions need to take place that will have the greatest impact. The information that is gathered during these community assessments can be used to assist in the creation of policies and models that will further promote health promotion of the population. The American Public Health Association helps to advocate for the health and the public and the importance of taking action within your community, (APHA, 2022). If these assessments are not done then it is hard to see how effective current practices are and how they can further be improved in a constantly changing industry.

AIM ONLY TO DO PART c ?Part C ? Case Analysis
Part C ? Case Analysis – (This is worth 50% of the test score.)The company operates about 700 convenience stores. A sales assistant at one of the company?s stores was murdered while on duty. The murder was widely publicized, and employees complained of inadequate security measures. As a result of the murder, 15 sales assistants telephoned the union requesting a union organization effort. The union sent representatives to 60 stores in the area where the murder had occurred and left union authorization cards. Two days later the company notified the union that an injunction had been issued during a prior union campaign prohibiting solicitation on company property. The next workday, the company had a meeting with the store managers in the area and talked abo ut the need to improve security. The company officials also discussed the union?s organization activities and reminded the managers of the ?no solicitation? policy and stated that a union would not necessarily do the employees any good. Later that week, the company had an unprecedented meeting for all sales assistants. Approximately 200 sales assistants attended and were paid for their time. The company officials told the employees that they did not need a union and that the employees from the union could retrieve their authorization cards. The employees were asked to voice their complaints and the employees listed the following: getting less than 40 hours work per week; not having breaks; not being paid for overtime work; working alone at night; and poor lighting at the stores. The next day the company sent a memo to all regional personnel directing that sales assistants should work a 40-hour workweek; canopy lights were installed at all the stores; a policy was adopted that no one would be required to work alone at night; and sales assistants began receiving wages for after-hours overtime work. The company posted ?no solicitation? signs in all stores and directed that those signs be enforced; if the employees did not enforce the signs, they would lose their jobs. Later that month the company held further meetings with sales assistants, who again were paid for their time. They asked to select committee representatives to meet with management to discuss their complaints. Management officials left the room while the employees selected their representatives. The company made a list of the ten most frequently mentioned items from the employees? recommended subjects for the committee to discuss. Meanwhile, the union filed a representation petition with the NLRB seeking an election in a unit of all Summitt, Ohio sales assistants. The company president told the managers to tell the sales assistants that if they joined the union, the company would close those stores. The first meeting of the Employee Management Committee was held and the ten priority items were listed, granting employees a new vacation policy, improved health-care benefits, sick days, change in holiday hours for pay, recognition of seniority ranks, and improved security systems. Not long after that, the company sent an additional memo around announcing other improvements in life, major medical, and accident insurance plans, in addition to death and family benefits and a revised disciplinary appeal system. The union wants to file a complaint with the NLRB. What ?unfair labor practice? claim(s) could it make? For each one, what defense would the company give?

arizona university narrative
PurposeThis assignment is intended to help you learn to do the following:For this first major assignment, you will compose a double-spaced 2-4 page literacy narrative. A literacy narrative tells a compelling story of the author?s journey to become the reader, writer, and/or thinker that they are. In this short essay, you won?t be able to tell that whole story, so instead you should consider focusing your narrative on some particular memory, experience, or mentor that, once described, will shed meaningful light on your past experience and present identity.In the first two modules of the course, you will work with your class to identify the conventions that distinguish literacy narratives as a genre and the rhetorical strategies that move readers when such stories are told. You should draw on this knowledge as you draft your own literacy narrative.Literacy NarrativeLiteracy NarrativeThis criterion is linked to a Learning OutcomeReasoningProficientThe literacy narrative tells a developed, appropriately focused story that sheds meaningful light on the student as a reader, writer, and thinker.AcceptableThe literacy narrative tells a mostly developed and focused story that sheds meaningful light on the student as a reader, writer, and thinker.UnacceptableThe literacy narrative tells a story that is not appropriately developed or focused.

Knowledge and Justification
Each question should be answered thoroughly and in detail. Each answer should typically be at least one or two full paragraphs (and longer is fine!)Write responses to each of the following questions based on the reading. Answer the questions fully and in detail (supporting your answers with reasons). 1) Explain what it means to have a justified belief, in terms of “reasonable doubt”. What sorts of things can create “reasonable doubt”? 2) Explain and discuss the Forer Effect. What implications does this have for the plausibility of astrology? 3) Explain and discuss faith and intuition. What sorts of things might create doubt about beliefs based on faith or intuition? Illustrate with examples. The next three questions are about arguments. For each of the arguments below, do the following:A) Formalize the Argument (list it in premise & conclusion form)B) Identify the kind of argument. If it is Deductive, identify the form (modus ponens, modus tollens, denying the antecedent, affirming the consequent, etc). If it it an inductive argument, identify the kind of inductive argument that it is (analogical induction, or hypothetical induction, etc). If it is neither a deductive argument nor an inductive argument, then just leave this blank. C) Identify whether the argument commits an informal fallacy, and explain how the fallacy is committed (if there is no informal fallacy, then just write “no fallacy”)4) It’s not a surprise that Stephen Hawking thinks that there is probably alien life elsewhere in the universe. After all, he is an atheist. And atheists are crazy heathens who have no respect for God or for the fact that life is unique to Earth. So therefore we should ignore his ridiculous ideas.5): We know that brains are capable of producing conscious thoughts and feelings and emotions. Computers are like brains in that they are incredibly complex information processing devices, so it is likely that computers could produce conscious thoughts and feelings and emotions as well.6) It?s obvious which news source is the most balanced and fair news source ? it?s Fox News. You can tell that they?re fair and balanced because they always say that they?re fair and balanced all the time, and since they?re so fair and balanced they wouldn?t lie about something like that.All of your information to answer the questions are in the videos and ereader. The video clip in this lecture (from Penn & Teller’s series on Showtime) contains some adult language – so make sure to watch it without any children or anyone else in the room that you would not want hearing such language.
Please choose two of the question about future hospitality marketing below and reply at least 200 words.
Robots and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Hotel IndustryRobots and artificial intelligence (AI) are changing the hotel industry. Some believe the robots/AI will sabotage jobs for humans and replace team members at hotels. Then there are others who believe the age of robots will free humans from ?grunt? work and create more productivity such as check-in kiosks at airports or artificial intelligence (AI) concierge at hotels. Watch the following videos and comment on the hotels of the future – high tech vs. high touch.

Generational Marketing Do marketers have to create separate product and marketing programs for each generation (i.e. Millennials, Generation X, The Baby Boomers, and so on)? Some experts caution that each generation spans decades of time and many socioeconomic levels. ?These segments are so large they are meaningless as marketing targets,? notes one such expert. The boomers span almost twenty years: He suggests that marketers should form more precise age-specific segments within each group. Others warn that marketers have to be careful about turning off one generation each time they craft a product or message that appeals collectively to another. What do you think? (Please note that Mandalay Bay had announced that they created the concept for GenerationX?ers). Levels of Competition Identifying your competition is very critical in marketing. Please read pages 88-89 – about levels of competition (Figure. 4.2). Pick a hospitality company (a coffee shop, hotel, or local casino) and identify the competitors at different levels by applying Fig. 4.2. A Resort For Generation X If you plan a resort or gaming resort targeting Generation X, what type of hotel facilities, services and amenities would you offer to appeal to them? What type of advertising messages would work best? (Hint: Consider characteristics and values of Gen X?ers discussed in Ch. 4).Growth Strategies in Las Vegas The purpose of this discussion question is to identify strategic market opportunities in Las Vegas by applying product-market expansion grid (Figure 3-2). Give specific examples of intensive growth (market penetration, product development, and market development), integrative growth, or diversification growth strategies adopted by specific Las Vegas corporations or companies. What forms of growth strategies do you think are more likely to occur in Las Vegas market in the next five years?
