To what extent may the word "phishing" be defined?
Suppose an organization uses Kerberos for authentication.
In terms of security and service availability, what is the effect if either the AS (authentication server) or TGS (ticket granting server) goes down?
Scenario 2
An organization dedicated to reducing spam tries to get Internet service providers (ISPS) in an
East Asian country to stop the spammers by protecting their mail servers. When this effort is
unsuccessful, the anti-spam organization puts the addresses of these ISPS on its "black list."
Many ISPS in the United States consult the black list and refuse to accept email from the
blacklisted ISPS. This action has two results. First, the amount of spam received by the typical
email user in the United States drops by 25 percent. Second, tens of thousands of innocent
computer users in the East Asian country are unable to send email to friends and business
associates in the United States.
Questions
1. Did the anti-spam organization do anything wrong?
2. Did the ISPS that refused to accept email from the black listed ISPS do anything wrong?
3. Who benefited from the organization's action?
4. Who was hurt by the organization's action?
5. Could the organization have achieved its goals…
