My teacher wanted everyone in my class to come up with at least 7 simple questions of their own that he’ll look over and pick one from. But we must ask at least 2 people that are not in our class to answer our questions and rate them as easy, moderate or difficult. But the thing is everyone that I ask says my questions are to hard which I kind of don’t think they are. But since I don’t know any people in the IT field other then classmates I figure why not just ask someone online for their input. If you like my questions and can answer them please respond. Your opinions and answers can be brief. My 7 questions are below. Thanks.


1.Given the types of malware, what are the implications for the threat actor to use the different types of malware, compare and contrast at least two different vectors?

2.Compare and contrast the value of DNS cache poisoning versus man-in-the-middle attacks. What is the value and the vector considerations for each one?

3.What is the true value of a vulnerability assessment to an organization?

4. Why is a mantrap the "perfect" security control and what implications that should have on other security controls?

5.Given a router, firewall, internal network, and application server that faces the Internet (i.e. internet accessible), describe the architecture you would develop to properly security the internal network.

Enumerate each data flow you would allow?

6.Given the preponderance of advanced attacks (i.e. zero day or 1st day attacks) against networks, what value does security play in the grander scheme. How can security be effective if the attacks are always ahead of the defenders.

You realize that no one is going to do your homework for you, right?

It really does seem like homework rather than questions that you made up as a survey.

Where in my post did I ask for someone to do my homework? If you could read then you would know it's not my homework. And I've already got three responses so your comment is pointless.

It's not, I wouldn't post my homework for this class cause my teacher knows how to Google and search.

I already got more then enough inbox responses so I no longer need help. Thanks to everyone again that answered my questions and chatted with me. :)

Many people PM'ed you with answers, did they?

And honestly, it does read like homework questions.

LOL! I guess you know that's kind of what I was getting at.

Actually that has been modified and Kate does have PMs. But I find it disturbing that many people elected to answer via PM. We may have to research that a bit since it violates our TOS.

To Kate,
Sorry, but it does seem like you have posted questions that are your homework under the guise that these are survey questions you need to get answered.
