The topic for my capstone project was to gain introductory knowledge for penetration testing. I had little knowledge on the subject itself, but I was interested in it enough to base this project around it. What I knew before hand was very basic information and I would need to learn a lot more before I could consider myself fully introduced to penetration testing. The goal of my capstone was to learn how to safely practice penetration testing, set up a virtual machine penetration lab, learn why a

I propose that our company consider implementing Linux for our servers and workstations. There are many excellent reasons to employ Linux as the operating system of choice for our company: Linux is ‘tried and true’; is used by many large companies, such as Google©, Amazon©, Facebook©, and many of the cloud service providers; is less expensive; more reliable and stable; has extensive free community support; uses memory and CPU resources more efficiently; is reasonably easy and quick to install;

part of one of the most used operating systems around the world. It is the successor to Windows XP and Windows Vista. Alongside Windows 7 are two other operating systems that are viewed as alternatives to the Windows OS. Those alternatives include Linux operating systems as well as Windows Server 2008. Windows 7 Versions Windows 7 like all other versions before has with sub versions of its operating system. Theses sub versions include W7 Starter, W7 Home Basic, W7 Home Premium, W7 Professional

1. What Is Linux? Linux is an operating system that was initially created as a hobby by a young student, Linus Torvalds, at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Linus had an interest in Minix, a small UNIX system, and decided to develop a system that exceeded the Minix standards. He began his work in 1991 when he released version 0.02 and worked steadily until 1994 when version 1.0 of the Linux Kernel was released. The current full-featured version is 2.4 (released January 2001) and development

1) and Solaris. When it comes to programming, many computer scientists, including myself, prefer UNIX-based operating systems over Windows operating system, because it is the main operating system for many technology companies (2) and easy to use. Linux, a UNIX based operating system, is the operating system used Google, Amazon and NASA. North Carolina State University has a great computer science program that is made to prepare students for the workforce

LINUX vs. WINDOWS The debate on Windows vs. Linux is truly an on going one with no end in site. Regardless how you come at this juncture you are usually a UNIX supporter or a customer of Microsoft OS and products who are grateful for products of Microsoft. We will in the following paragraphs try to compare the advantages and disadvantages of these different systems. We will give a brief description on the cost of these products, what kind of market-share these two systems hold, the availability

Comparison Report Linux versus Windows XP: The Pros and Cons This may be the perfect time to move over to Linux, since Windows XP was officially retired in 2014. Although we can continue using Windows XP, the two most important factors to consider are 1) there will no longer be security patches released by Microsoft; and 2) they are no longer supporting this product. Additionally, our older XP machines may not support newer Windows releases, especially 8.1, because it needs significantly more
