About The Final Prophecy: Star Wars Legends (The New Jedi Order)
As a beleaguered galaxy fights its way back from the brink of destruction, the Jedi's most fearsome enemy plots to end the war–and claim victory–with a final act of domination. . . .
The troubles for the embattled living planet Zonama Sekot have just begun. As Luke Skywalker and Jacen Solo negotiate its place in the galactic struggle against the Yuuzhan Vong, one of its organic ships is taken by the alien invaders. Scientist Nen Yim is ordered to use the captive to find weak spots in Zonama Sekot's technology. But what Nen Yim discovers about the planet and its mysteries shocks her to the core. Clearly her people have gone terribly astray. For the peace-loving planet harbors not only the key to its own destruction, but the long-forgotten secrets of the Yuuzhan Vong themselves.
Meanwhile, General Wedge Antilles, commanding one fleet in a three-pronged campaign to retake the Bilbringi system, is suddenly stranded deep in Yuuzhan Vong space, cut off from all contact. Wedge and his ships must rely on trickery and brilliant battle tactics if they are to survive long enough to ensure the success of one of the deadliest and most crucial missions the Galactic Alliance forces
have ever seen. . . .
Features a bonus section following the novel that includes a primer on the Star Wars expanded universe, and over half a dozen excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books of the last thirty years!

Minister defends Burma government reforms against Suu Kyi criticism – The Irrawaddy
http://www.irrawaddy.org/archives/36083

RANGOON — Minister Kan Zaw defended the government's reform record on Friday, after opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi questioned the pace of change in Burma earlier this week. He stressed that the reforms had the full backing of foreign governments and international organizations.
"We are doing our reforms, starting with the political, then the economic, and these have been approved domestically and by our key international partners," said Dr Kan Zaw, Minister of National Planning and Economic Development, when asked by The Irrawaddy about Suu Kyi's strictures.
Speaking on Monday at a gathering of the National league for Democracy, Burma's main opposition group, party leader Suu Kyi said that "The last three years saw no tangible changes, especially in [the area of] the rule of law and the peace process." She added, "The reform started in 2010, now we have to ask the question: 'Have we got any tangible results so far?'"
On Friday, Kan Zaw was speaking alongside ministerial colleagues Htay Aung, Soe Thane and Set Aung at a Rangoon preview event for next week's World Economic Forum (WEF) — a 1000-strong gathering of political and business leaders in Asia in Burma's capital Naypyidaw.
Htay Aung, Minister for Hotels and Tourism, sought to dampen expectations about the pace of reform by arguing that Burma's transition remains in its infancy. "Myanmar is just open to the outside world and we just started to build the journey to democratization," he said.
Soe Thane, a key advisor to President Thein Sein, acknowledged that the reform process faced serious challenges. Asked by Agence-France-Presse about Buddhist mob rampages against Muslims in Lashio, he said, "There will be a lot of challenges to and flaws in the reform process."
The violence in Lashio — the biggest town in Shan State, a region which is home to Burma's largest ethnic minority — started after a Muslim man attacked and burnt a local Buddhist woman, prompting Buddhist mobs, including saffron-clad monks, to loot and burn Muslim shops and houses in the town.
One person was killed in what was the latest episode in a series of Buddhist-Muslim clashes across Burma, during which Muslims bore the brunt of the violence.
Such unrest could have implications for Burma's economic growth prospects, according to a report published earlier this week by a McKinsey think-tank, which suggested that the ongoing ethnic and religious tensions could undermine investor confidence.
McKinsey said the country's much-remarked economic potential, if harnessed well, could lead to a quadrupling of its GDP to US $200 billion by 2030.
"Economic development and FDI in Myanmar will take off only if all parties remain committed to the reform agenda, the peace process and reconciliation between ethnic and religious groups succeed, and the election in 2015 marks another peaceful political transition," said the report.
In the meantime, however, the Burma government sees the forthcoming WEF event as a key opportunity to make a sales pitch to the outside world. "We can increase the importance of Myanmar as a destination for investors," said Minister Htay Aung.
The WEF comes six months ahead of Burma's hosting of the Southeast Asia Games, a regional athletics competition, and the year before the country takes up the chair of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) for the first time.
In 2014, Burma will be chairing ASEAN for the first time after previous opportunities to head the bloc were postponed because the country was under military rule. ASEAN was concerned that relations with Western countries could be hindered if it allowed Burma take its turn at the helm.
The ten-state regional bloc is hoping to set up a closer-knit economic community by 2015, meaning that Burma's frontline role next year will be pivotal to the bloc's ambitions — which have been dismissed as far-fetched by some economists.
Burma's tenure could also see the first enlargement of the grouping since it joined in 1997, with Timor-Leste hopeful of joining ASEAN in the near future.
For now, the WEF event maintains the international spotlight on Burma, coming two weeks after Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's state visit to Naypyidaw, the first such visit since 1977. Three weeks ago, President Thein Sein received red-carpet treatment in The White House, the latter being the first state visit to the United States by a Burmese president since 1966.
The Japanese visit saw Tokyo pledge 20 billion yen (about $200 million) to the development of a port and industrial zone at Thilawa, located a half-hour drive from downtown Rangoon.
Asked if the well-funded Thilawa SEZ was now the government's top priority, Kan Zaw said Naypyidaw remained just as committed to setting up the Chinese-backed zone in Kyaukpyhu, Arakan State, and the Thai-supported Dawei zone, located on Burma southwestern coast.
"We have a Myanmar-Thai special corporate vehicle for Dawei development," he said. "We have plans to develop the first phase by 2014-2017 and we will see development in the near future."

April 27, 2001 - Reviewing the gods
VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
Bands, Labels, PR peeps, listen up. Our mailing address is changing effective immediately. If you just sent us a submission, don't worry, it'll get forwarded. But otherwise please take note of the new address, and use it.
Meant to report this a couple weeks ago. Internet radio show Electronic Deconstruction finally has a domain name: industrial.mu
".mu" is a new extension, much like ".tv" but intended for music sites. Here are a few words straight from ED's DJ, Rance:
"Continuing to march forward with promises made last year in conjunction with the re-launch of Electronic Deconstruction, the website now has its very own domain name. What's this mean to you? First off, no long ass URL to remember anymore, ED is now located at http://www.industrial.mu. Second, interactivity; aside from a lot of behind-the-scenes automation, plans are in the works to develop a "community" section with things such as contact databases and a user-addable links database. Other possibilities include a classified ads section and maybe even forums (but you can use the fine forums right here at Wrapped In Wire for the time being).
As always, ED is looking for music. If you're looking for exposure, the stream gets steady listenership of about 50 to 60 people a day with an average listening time of an hour or so per listener. We're looking for independent, DIY, unsigned or otherwise unknown bands to play on the stream. Plans are also in the works to have a weekly or nightly "Independent Artist Hour(s)" on the stream, to be carried out by radio automation software. If you create Industrial, Electronica, EBM, Trance, etc... and are looking for some exposure, visit the "Promote Your Band" section of the site."

Now that presidential campaign 2016 season is in full swing, not only have we started to see a flood of advocacy efforts on behalf of the candidates, but from an enormous and ever increasing pool of different organizations and interests groups. For example, by now we are all familiar with advocacy groups such as Veterans Against the Deal, which has launched an ad campaign opposing the Iran nuclear deal and groups like Global Zero, which has also launched a series of ads, but in support of the deal.
But in today's highly competitive and well-funded advocacy environment reaching the right audience, building a strong coalition of support, and achieving your goal is no easy task. So, how will you get your voice heard? The answer is through a successful grassroots advocacy campaign, a quintessential tool for today's advocacy and government relations professionals. However, the nature of grassroots advocacy is constantly changing and adapting. Where does one start today?
This is where Lobbyists.info and Association TRENDS comes to the rescue with their new online e-learning course, Grassroots Advocacy Strategies & Techniques Deep Dive. In this 8-week course, Stephanie Vance—one of America's foremost experts on grassroots advocacy—teaches today's best grassroots advocacy strategies.
From where advocacy fits into your government relations program and policy agenda, to how to deploy your plan far less expensively than through traditional lobbying, you'll actually build a plan for engaging more members and achieving change.
The highly interactive course includes video clips, readings, and a 24/7 discussion board with fellow attendees. You'll take graded quizzes each week, fill out worksheets for homework assignments, and have weekly call-in times where you can speak directly with the instructor if you desire. Not only will you come away with an actual advocacy plan built on today's absolute smartest strategies, you'll have Stephanie Vance's feedback on that plan. Each student will also receive a copy of the Advocacy Handbook (a $329 value) as a course reference guide.

First 'Android N' Screenshot Tips Settings Navigation Drawer
We might be months away from the release of Google's next Android OS version but a new screenshot may have offered the first look at the Marshmallow successor.
Android's official Developer site now lists a screenshot for showing Day-Night theme in system setting. Notably, the page for turning-on/ off Bluetooth includes a hamburger setting on the top left which has been so far unavailable in any of Android OS versions – indicating that it may have offered the first look at the next version.
(Also see: Google May Use Online Poll to Decide Name of Next Android Version)
The screenshot was first spotted by Android Police. The addition of hamburger button in Android N points to a side navigation drawer that is likely to have all Settings sections listed, making it easier to switch between them. Currently, users have to go back into main settings page before jumping to another Settings section.
Google is likely to reveal its next mobile operating system, believed to be called as Android N initially, at the I/O conference. Google CEO Sundar Pichai had last month has announced the date and venue for the I/O 2016 which will be held in Mountain View, California on May 18 through May 20. Much like Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Android N can be expected to be launched later this year with the new Nexus hardware.
Unfortunately, it's too early to comment on the design changes or tweaks that Google is expected to make in its next Android N build. But we can expect to get more of such details in bits in future.
So far, Google has revealed that Android N won't ship with Oracle's proprietary Java application programming interfaces. The company has confirmed that it will utilize OpenJDK, an open source version of Oracle's Java Development Kit.
An earlier report claimed that Google will finally include split screen multi-tasking support in Android N, the next major version of Google's operating system. Google's Andrew Bowers, Director for Consumer Hardware, had previously talking about Android N had said, "We're working on lots of things right now for N that, of course, we wish we had, you know, yesterday. But we'd spoil the surprise of N if we shared all of them. Split screen is in the works!"

Famous brands and designers from France include Chanel, Louis Vuitton, L'Oreal, Christian Louboutin, Balmain, Lancôme, Givenchy, Le Coq Sportif, Cartier, Guerlain, Sonia Rykiel, Longchamp, Pierre Cardin, Kenzo, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Clarins, A.P.C., Jean Paul Gaultier, Lacoste, Hermès, Thierry Mugler, Lanvin, Inès de La Fressange, Quechua, Chloé, Lolita Lempicka, Nina Ricci, Rochas, Cerruti, Oxbow and Céline.
As previously mentioned, punk spirit seized the London shows and definitely filtered into some during Paris. Alexander McQueen and Dior are two major luxury brands turning the rebellious signifiers of this look on their heads (studs! leather! mohair hole-y knits! plaid!), but you'll also find some homegrown talent pushing things into even wilder territory. Even if the more extreme ends of this trend aren't going to translate into the mass market, expect to see many tartan creations hitting shop floors over the coming months…
I don't think I've ever seen so many trends! The autumn/winter 2019 fashions are, to say the least, varied, vast and very much going to suit your style, whatever that may be. If you're a minimalist, there's much to love. If you're a maximalist, this is an epic time for you too. If you like colour, great. If you hate colour, fabulous! Want to dress like you're permanently at a party? That's an entirely legitimate planned, backed by many big industry hitters, including Marc Jacobs and Versace.
If there's one thing that guaranteed Instagram likes all year thus far, it's hair accessories. Whether giant padded headbands or cutesy diamanté clips, the enthusiasm for this outfit add-on shows no sign of slowing down for autumn/winter and the accompanying party season. We were particularly enamoured with the most outré options, like Simone Rocha's crystal tiaras or Alessandra Rich's marabou halos.
Berlin is the centre of fashion in Germany (prominently displayed at Berlin Fashion Week), while Düsseldorf holds Europe's largest fashion trade fairs with Igedo. Other important centres of the scene are Munich, Hamburg, and Cologne. German fashion is famed for its elegant lines as well as unconventional young designs and the great variety of styles.
It was a season where emotions, personalities and uniqueness reigned supreme. The monthlong round of shows culminated in a heart-warming and outstanding Chanel show—the last ever technically created by the late creative director, Karl Lagerfeld. An alpine scene magically assembled within Paris's Grand Palais featured a lineup of Chanel girls old and new, and a finale to rival any—with the likes of Karen Elson, unable to hold back the tears, walking through the "snow" next to Cara Delevingne, Mica Argañaraz and Penelope Cruz, to name but a few high-profile faces. The show also confirmed that one of the designer's most beloved of fabrics—bouclé—was set to be a trending choice for A/W 19.
Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel revolutionized the contemporary women's clothing. Her bold fashion designs freed women from the constrained, time limited trends. Chanel suits have become style icons, as well as her Chanel bags. It was 'Coco' who has created the innovative concept of "little black dress", without which it can not do any one woman. There is no doubt that Coco Chanel is one of the top fashion designers of clothing of all time!
Yves Saint Laurent became popular in fashion circles due to his creativity in redesigning the clothes considered to be masculine into beautiful, feminine wardrobe for women. Perhaps, one of the most famous fashion designers in France, Yves was the first one to introduce power dressing for women in the form of "power suits" in the year 1966. He is also credited with designing the men's smoking jacket. The most important fashion legacy which he has left behind is the "ready-to-wear" fashion clothing.
In the 80's, Ralph Lauren really became a force to be reckoned with, as his signature polo shirts for men, with their ubiquitous polo pony and rider, became coveted items for many different demographics. Available in every color of the rainbow, they lined his coffers and allowed him to put more money into his glamorous women's wear lines; he especially enjoyed producing couture pieces and overseeing glossy runway shows.
London has long been the capital of the United Kingdom fashion industry and has a wide range of foreign designs which have integrated with modern British styles. Typical, British design is smart but innovative yet recently has become more and more unconventional, fusing traditional styles with modern techniques. Vintage styles play an important role in the British fashion and styling industry. Stylists regularly 'mix and match' the old with the new, which gives British style that unique, bohemian aesthetic that many of the other fashion capitals try to imitate. Irish fashion (both design and styling) is also heavily influenced by fashion trends from Britain.
It was during this period that many design houses began to hire artists to sketch or paint designs for garments. The images were shown to clients, which was much cheaper than producing an actual sample garment in the workroom. If the client liked their design, they ordered it and the resulting garment made money for the house. Thus, the tradition of designers sketching out garment designs instead of presenting completed garments on models to customers began as an economy.
If there's one styling trick that was put on the map at the tail end of 2018 and looks set to continue well into this winter, it's the idea of the double jumper, or scrumper, as we called it (because it's essentially about tying another jumper around your neck as a scarf). The concept has extended even further since then, with many designer using super-cosy knits from head to toe. The chicest and easiest way to do it is with the same colour or pattern.
Donna Karan came from a background that was related to fashion in certain ways. This fashion designer worked as a head of a design team for a few number of years and launched some designs that included the very well-known 'Seven Easy Pieces'. She is the sole creator of the DKNY label (Donna Karen New York). Since then, this label has seen many new additions in the fashion segment.
Born Gabrielle"Coco" Bonheur Chanel, she is a excellent French fashion designer, founder of the well known Chanel brand, whose modernist thought, practical design, and pursuit of expensive simplicity made her an important and influential figure in 20th-century fashion. She was the only fashion designer to be named on Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century.
Fashion design services provide services like trend and color forecasting, market analysis, design concepts and design documentation for manufacturers. This way the manufacturer can contract out the design requirements rather than maintaining an in-house design team. Fashion design services providers can either sell the designs outright or license them out on a royalty basis.
Fashion design is generally considered to have started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first designer to have his label sewn into the garments that he created. Before the former draper set up his maison couture (fashion house) in Paris, clothing design and creation was handled by largely anonymous seamstresses, and high fashion descended from that worn at royal courts. Worth's success was such that he was able to dictate to his customers what they should wear, instead of following their lead as earlier dressmakers had done. The term couturier was in fact first created in order to describe him. While all articles of clothing from any time period are studied by academics as costume design, only clothing created after 1858 is considered as fashion design.
Fashion designers work in different ways. Some sketch their ideas on paper, while others drape fabric on a dress form. When a designer is completely satisfied with the fit of the toile (or muslin), he or she will consult a professional pattern maker who then makes the finished, working version of the pattern out of card or via a computerized system. Finally, a sample garment is made up and tested on a model to make sure it is an operational outfit.
Colour is a basic consideration in the fashion design process. In most cases color is the first element that is noticed about a design and has a huge impact in how that garment is perceived. Different forecasting companies research and develop new and existing colour palettes from many sources like yarn technologists, international fabric fairs, leather suppliers, trimming merchants etc. some fashion magazine give inspirational colour guideline for fashion design.
These boys Abu-Jani and Sandeep Khosla, as a duo are legendary in the fashion-circuit and earned success, hype, fame and attention. They were the first and the foremost to exhibit their work at Harrods, the UK luxury store. Though they lack in pro training, yet their designs are exclusive, distinctive and remarkable. All the time, they travel to the distant and remote areas in quest of the hidden-styles that are yet to be exposed. This creative coalition exudes talent and attitude!
Inquiring for my daughter. Where is the best Fashion Merchandise Marketing school in Sacramento and San Francisco area? Whenever I goggle these schools, some say Institute of Art in Sacramento, and some say FIDM, and others. I'm so confused I have no idea, which is the best college for my money. I have decided to go to American River College to get my Associates, and then I have no idea where to continue my fashion degree.

A Study to Evaluate the Sensitivity, Specificity, and Overall Accuracy of an Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Diagnostic Test Developed by Iron Horse Diagnostics
Prospective multicenter study of subjects who were recently diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or another neurodegenerative disease (including spinal cord diseases, muscle diseases and neurological diseases such as multiple sclerosis, multifocal motor neuropathy, myasthenia gravis and spinal muscular atrophy) or who are currently undergoing diagnostic procedures for the aforementioned diseases. Approximately 300 subjects will be enrolled. Subjects will undergo a lumbar puncture (LP) for cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) collection; blood collection for serum, plasma, RNA, and DNA (optional); urine collection (optional); and skin biopsy (optional) in a single visit. No study treatment will be administered. Subjects will be managed and treated by their respective physicians; choice of therapy or laboratory tests will not be impacted by the study. Clinical diagnosis may be confirmed by the subject's physician and communicated to the study's Principal Investigator (PI) by scheduled telephone calls.

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a rapidly progressive, degenerative disease of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord that leads to muscle atrophy and spasticity in limb and bulbar muscles. Clinical presentations of this fatal disease include weakness, loss of ambulation, oropharyngeal dysfunction, weight loss, and ultimately respiratory failure. Average survival is approximately 3 years after symptom onset. The initial symptoms are similar to other neuropathies (e.g., motor neuropathy, progressive muscle atrophy, etc.) and include limb weakness leading to partial or total paralysis, and increasing difficulties in speech and breathing. ALS clinical diagnosis typically takes 12 months from symptom onset and relies on exclusion of other potential causes of the clinical symptoms. To date there are no FDA-approved diagnostic tests for ALS. Diagnostic tools for accurate and early diagnosis are under investigation. These tools would not only permit early intervention, but also would improve clinical trial design for new drug therapies.
Axonal degeneration and inflammation are among proposed pathogenic mechanisms for ALS; therefore, proteins that function within these pathways are being evaluated as potential biomarkers. Iron Horse Diagnostics, Inc. (Iron Horse) has focused its ALS diagnostic efforts on studying the levels of cytoskeletal and inflammatory proteins in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of ALS patients.
Cytoskeletal proteins, including neurofilament proteins and tau, have been shown to be elevated in the CSF of patients with various neurodegenerative diseases. Interestingly, levels of phosphorylated neurofilament heavy subunit (pNfH) have been found to be significantly increased in the CSF of ALS patients as compared with healthy subjects, Alzheimer's disease patients or disease mimics Numerous inflammatory proteins, including cytokines and complement proteins, have been shown to be altered in ALS; complement proteins, including complement c3 (C3), have been found to be increased in the CSF of ALS patients.
Iron Horse has evaluated CSF samples from 106 subjects (45 ALS patients, 25 disease controls with a range of neurodegenerative conditions, and 36 healthy controls.CSF levels of pNfH, tau, C3, and C reactive protein (CRP) were measured. pNfH was significantly elevated in CSF from ALS subjects as compared with healthy and disease controls; there were no significant differences for CRP or tau. To further distinguish between ALS subjects and disease controls, data from cytoskeletal and inflammatory pathways were combined. A ratio of CSF levels of pNfH and C3 showed significant differences between ALS and both the disease and healthy control groups. Results were verified on a separate test set of CSF samples. Overall, the predictive pNfH/C3 ratio identified ALS with 87.3 % sensitivity and 94.6% specificity in a total of 71 ALS subjects, 52 disease control subjects, and 40 healthy subjects.
In the same study, it was observed that plasma levels of pNfH were significantly elevated in ALS subjects as compared with healthy controls; however there was no significant difference between ALS and disease controls. Comparison of pNfH levels between the CSF and plasma for each study subject revealed a weak correlation between plasma and CSF pNfH levels.
The accuracy of pNfH and pNfH/C3 ratio as ALS predictors has also been tested by Iron Horse in a recent prospective, blinded study in collaboration with the Northeast ALS Consortium (NEALS) [unpublished data]. CSF (n=126) and plasma (n=220) samples were collected from subjects from 30 medical centers across the United States (US) who were undergoing diagnostic assessment for neurodegenerative conditions or who were recently diagnosed with ALS. Accuracy for predicting ALS diagnosis was 93% for CSF pNfH/C3 ratio and 82% for pNfH plasma levels.
The prospective study proposed in this concept will test the sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy of pNfH and pNfH/C3 ratio as ALS predictors on a separate sample set. CSF and matching plasma samples will be collected at up to 6 neurodegenerative clinics from up to 300 subjects who were recently diagnosed with ALS or another similar neurologic disease or who are currently undergoing diagnostic procedures.

Refer to the exhibit. A security specialist is checking if files in the directory contain ADS data. Which switch should be used to show that a file has ADS attached?
CCNA Cybersecurity Operations (Version 1.1) – SECOPS (210-255) Cert Practice Exam Answers 2019 Full 100% 05
/a
/d
By using NTFS, Alternate Data Streams (ADSs) can be connected to a file as an attribute called $DATA. The command dir /r can be used to see if a file contains ADS data.
When attempting to improve system performance for Linux computers with a limited amount of memory, why is increasing the size of the swap file system not considered the best solution?
A swap file system only supports the ex2 file system.
A swap file system does not have a specific file system.
A swap file system cannot be mounted on an MBR partition.
A swap file system uses hard disk space to store inactive RAM content.
The swap file system is used by Linux when it runs out of physical memory. When needed, the kernel moves inactive RAM content to the swap partition on the hard disk. Storing and retrieving content in the swap partition is much slower than RAM is, and therefore using the swap partition should not be considered the best solution to improving system performance.
How much overhead does the TCP header add to data from the application layer?
The Layer 4 header in a TCP segment is the TCP header, which is 20 bytes in length. This adds 20 bytes of overhead to the data from the application layer in the composition of a TCP segment.
Which three fields are found in both the TCP and UDP headers? (Choose three.)
source port
The UPD header has four fields. Three of these fields are in common with the TCP header. These three fields are the source port, destination port, and checksum.
Refer to the exhibit. A security specialist is using Wireshark to review a PCAP file generated by tcpdump. When the client initiated a file download request, which source socket pair was used?
209.165.202.133:48598
The combination of the source IP address and source port number, or the destination IP address and destination port number, is known as a socket. A socket is shown as the IP address and associated port number with a colon in between the two (IP_address:port_number).
Which field in the IPv6 header points to optional network layer information that is carried in the IPv6 packet?
Optional Layer 3 information about fragmentation, security, and mobility is carried inside of extension headers in an IPv6 packet. The next header field of the IPv6 header acts as a pointer to these optional extension headers if they are present.
Which three IPv4 header fields have no equivalent in an IPv6 header? (Choose three.)
fragment offset
Unlike IPv4, IPv6 routers do not perform fragmentation. Therefore, all three fields supporting fragmentation in the IPv4 header are removed and have no equivalent in the IPv6 header. These three fields are fragment offset, flag, and identification. IPv6 does support host packet fragmentation through the use of extension headers, which are not part of the IPv6 header.
Which technology is used by Cisco Advanced Malware Protection (AMP) in defending and protecting against known and emerging threats?
network admission control
website filtering and blacklisting

User accounts – the parameters defining user access and behavior
Service accounts – the definitions of the type of service that an application is allowed to run on a server
Software environment – the tasks, processes, and applications that are permitted to run on the server
When establishing a server profile for an organization, which element describes the type of service that an application is allowed to run on the server?
listening port
A server profile should contain some important elements including these:
What are the three impact metrics contained in the CVSS 3.0 Base Metric Group? (Choose three.)
attack vector
remediation level
The Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) is a vendor-neutral, industry standard, open framework for weighing the risks of a vulnerability using a variety of metrics. CVSS uses three groups of metrics to assess vulnerability, the Base Metric Group, Temporal Metric Group, and Environmental Metric Group. The Base Metric Group has two classes of metrics (exploitability and impact). The impact metrics are rooted in the following areas: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Which metric in the CVSS Base Metric Group is used with an attack vector?
the proximity of the threat actor to the vulnerability
the determination whether the initial authority changes to a second authority during the exploit
the presence or absence of the requirement for user interaction in order for an exploit to be successful
the number of components, software, hardware, or networks, that are beyond the control of the attacker and that must be present in order for a vulnerability to be successfully exploited
The attack vector is one of several metrics defined in the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Base Metric Group Exploitability metrics. The attack vector is how close the threat actor is to the vulnerable component. The farther away the threat actor is to the component, the higher the severity because threat actors close to the network are easier to detect and mitigate.
A cybersecurity analyst is performing a CVSS assessment on an attack where a web link was sent to several employees. Once clicked, an internal attack was launched. Which CVSS Base Metric Group Exploitability metric is used to document that the user had to click on the link in order for the attack to occur?
availability requirement
integrity requirement
The CVSS Base Metric Group has the following metrics: attack vector, attack complexity, privileges required, user interaction, and scope. The user interaction metric expresses the presence or absence of the requirement for user interaction in order for an exploit to be successful.
Which statement describes the card verification value (CVV) for a credit card?
It is the bank account number.
It is a PIN number for the card.
It is a security feature of the card.
It is the credit card account number.
The card verification value (CVV), or card verification code (CVC), or card security code (CSC) is a security feature of a credit card, usually 3 or 4 digits printed on the back of the card.
After a security monitoring tool identifies a malware attachment entering the network, what is the benefit of performing a retrospective analysis?
A retrospective analysis can help in tracking the behavior of the malware from the identification point forward.
It can identify how the malware originally entered the network.
It can determine which network host was first affected.
It can calculate the probability of a future incident.
General security monitoring can identify when a malware attachment enters a network and which host is first infected. Retrospective analysis takes the next step and is the tracking of the behavior of the malware from that point forward.
What are two of the 5-tuples? (Choose two.)
The components of a 5-tuple include a source IP address and port number, destination IP address and port number, and the protocol in use.
What are security event logs commonly based on when sourced by traditional firewalls?
5-tuples
static filtering
Traditional firewalls commonly provide security event logs based on the 5-tuples of source IP address and port number, destination IP address and port number, and the protocol in use.
When real-time reporting of security events from multiple sources is being received, which function in SIEM provides capturing and processing of data in a common format?
log collection
SIEM combines SEM and SIM tools to provide some useful functions, one of which is data normalization. Data normalization is the process of mapping log messages from different systems into a common data model in order to analyze related security events, even if they are initially logged in different source formats.
What is a goal of deploying an in-line security device that can analyze data as a normalized stream?
detect and block intrusions
reduce the amount of event data
satisfy compliance requirements
decrease network latency and jitter
An IPS is an in-line security device that can analyze data as a normalized stream to reduce or eliminate the possibility of security evasions.
What are two sources of data in the operation of a security information and event management (SIEM) system? (Choose two.)
incident management systems
antimalware devices
dashboards and reports
automation and alerts
Security information and event management (SIEM) systems receive data from IPS devices, firewalls, NetFlow devices, servers, endpoints, and syslog infrastructure devices.
Refer to the exhibit. Which techology generated the event log?
The output shown is from a web proxy.
Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is examining a NetFlow record. Why would the record indicate that both TRNS SOURCE PORT and TRNS DESTINATION PORT are 0?
The Gig0/0 interface has not transmitted any packets.
The flow does not include transport layer protocols.
The flow contains four packets and they use varying port numbers.
The source host uses a different transport layer protocol from the one used by the destination host.
The data flow recorded is ICMP traffic, indicated by the number 1 for IP PROTOCOL. Because ICMP is a Layer 3 protocol and has no need for a Layer 4 protocol such as TCP or UDP, the port numbers show a 0 within the NetFlow output.
Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is examining a NetFlow record. Which protocol is in use in the flow shown?
The data flow shown is captured UDP traffic of a DNS response, indicated by the number 17 in the IP PROTOCOL output.
At the request of investors, a company is proceeding with cyber attribution with a particular attack that was conducted from an external source. Which security term is used to describe the person or device responsible for the attack?
threat actor
Some people may use the common word of "hacker" to describe a threat actor. A threat actor is an entity that is involved with an incident that impacts or has the potential to impact an organization in such a way that it is considered a security risk or threat.
What classification is used for an alert that correctly identifies that an exploit has occurred?
A true positive occurs when an IDS and IPS signature is correctly fired and an alarm is generated when offending traffic is detected.
Which type of analysis relies on predefined conditions and can analyze applications that only use well-known fixed ports?
probabilistic
Deterministic analysis uses predefined conditions to analyze applications that conform to specification standards, such as performing a port-based analysis.
Which type of analysis relies on different methods to establish the likelihood that a security event has happened or will happen?
Probabilistic methods use powerful tools to create a probabilistic answer as a result of analyzing applications.
What is the benefit of converting log file data into a common schema?
creates a data model based on fields of data from a source
allows easy processing and analysis of datasets
creates a set of regex-based field extractions
allows the implementation of partial normalization and inspection
When data is converted into a universal format, it can be effectively structured for performing fast queries and event analysis.
What will match the regular expression ^83?
any string that begins with 83
any string that ends with 83
any string that includes 83
any string with values greater than 83
The expression ^83 indicates any string that begins with 83 will be matched.
Using Tcpdump and Wireshark, a security analyst extracts a downloaded file from a pcap file. The analyst suspects that the file is a virus and wants to know the file type for further examination. Which Linux command can be used to determine the file type?
The Linux file command can be used to determine a file type, such as whether it is executable, ASCII text, or zip.
Which type of evidence cannot prove an IT security fact on its own?
corroborative
Indirect evidence cannot prove a fact on its own, but direct evidence can. Corroborative evidence is supporting information. Best evidence is most reliable because it is something concrete such as a signed contract.
A cybersecurity analyst has been called to a crime scene that contains several technology items including a computer. Which technique will be used so that the information found on the computer can be used in court?
rootkit
unaltered disk image
A normal file copy does not recover all data on a storage device so an unaltered disk image is commonly made. An unaltered disk image preserves the original evidence, thus preventing inadvertent alteration during the discovery phase. It also allows recreation of the original evidence.
Refer to the exhibit. A security analyst issues the cat command to review the content of the file confidential2. Which encoding method was used to encode the file?
8-bit binary
Hex encodes binary data in hexidecimal string format. Base64 encodes binary data in an ASCII string format. In this case, the characters are 0-9 and a-f, typical hexidecimal numbers.
According to the Cyber Kill Chain model, after a weapon is delivered to a targeted system, what is the next step that a threat actor would take?
weaponization
action on objectives
The Cyber Kill Chain specifies seven steps (or phases) and sequences that a threat actor must complete to accomplish an attack:
Reconnaissance – The threat actor performs research, gathers intelligence, and selects targets.
Weaponization – The threat actor uses the information from the reconnaissance phase to develop a weapon against specific targeted systems.
Delivery – The weapon is transmitted to the target using a delivery vector.
Exploitation – The threat actor uses the weapon delivered to break the vulnerability and gain control of the target.
Installation – The threat actor establishes a back door into the system to allow for continued access to the target.
Command and Control (CnC) – The threat actor establishes command and control (CnC) with the target system.
Action on Objectives – The threat actor is able to take action on the target system, thus achieving the original objective.
What will a threat actor do to create a back door on a compromised target according to the Cyber Kill Chain model?
Collect and exfiltrate data.
Add services and autorun keys.
Obtain an automated tool to deliver the malware payload.
Open a two-way communications channel to the CnC infrastructure.
Once a target system is compromised, the threat actor will establish a back door into the system to allow for continued access to the target. Adding services and autorun keys is a way to create a point of persistent access.
Which three things will a threat actor do to prepare a DDoS attack against a target system on the Internet? (Choose three.)
Install attack software on zombies.
Install a black door on the target system.
Compromise many hosts on the Internet.
Establish two-way communications channels to the CnC infrastructure with zombies.
To prepare for launching a DDoS attack, a threat actor will compromise many hosts on the Internet, called zombies. The threat actor will then install attack software on zombies and establish a two-way communications channel to CnC infrastructure with zombies. The threat actor will issue the command to zombies through the CnC to launch a DDoS attack against a target system.
In which top-level element of the VERIS schema does VERIS use the A4 threat model to describe an incident?
incident tracking
incident description
discovery and response
In the top-level element incident description of the VERIS schema, VERIS uses the A4 threat model that was developed by the RISK team at Verizon to describe an incident completely.
What are three of the four interactive landscapes that VERIS schema use to define risk?
In the VERIS schema, risk is defined as the intersection of four landscapes of threat, asset, impact, and control. Information from each landscape helps to understand the level of risk to the organization.
Which specification provides a common language for describing security incidents in a structured and repeatable way?
VERIS schema
Diamond model
Cyber Kill Chain
NIST Incident Response Life Cycle
Vocabulary for Event Recording and Incident Sharing (VERIS) was created to provide a common language for describing security incidents. VERIS addresses the problems of dealing with different security tools and the tendency of humans to refer to incidents and events inconsistently.
What is the VERIS Community Database (VCDB)?
an open and free collection of publicly-reported security incidents posted in a variety of data formats
a central location for the security community to learn from experience and help with decision making before, during, and after a security incident
a collection of incident data collected and categorized by a selected group of cybersecurity professionals
a collection of research of trend and potential security intrusions
The VERIS Community Database (VCDB) is an open and free collection of publicly-reported security incidents in VERIS format. The VCDB is in a universal format that allows for manipulation and transformation.
Which type of computer security incident response team is responsible for determining trends to help predict and provide warning of future security incidents?
vendor teams
analysis centers
coordination centers
national CSIRT
There are many different types of computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs) and related information security organizations. Analysis centers use data from many sources to determine security incident trends that can help predict future incidents and provide early warning.
What is the role of vendor teams as they relate to a computer security incident response team?
They handle customer reports concerning security vulnerabilities.
They coordinate incident handling across multiple teams.
They provide incident handling to other organizations as a fee-based service.
They use data from many sources to determine incident activity trends.
There are many different types of computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs) and related information security organizations. Vendor CSIRT teams provide remediation for vulnerabilities in the software or hardware of an organization and often handle customer reports concerning security vulnerabilities.
Which two actions should be taken during the preparation phase of the incident response life cycle defined by NIST? (Choose two.)
Fully analyze the incident.
Create and train the CSIRT.
Detect all the incidents that occurred.
Acquire and deploy the tools that are needed to investigate incidents.
Meet with all involved parties to discuss the incident that took place.
According to the guideline defined in the NIST Incident Response Life Cycle, several actions should be taken during the preparation phase including (1) creating and training the CSIRT and (2) acquiring and deploying the tools needed by the team to investigate incidents.
During the detection and analysis phase of the NIST incident response process life cycle, which sign category is used to describe that an incident might occur in the future?
There are two categories for the signs of an incident:
Precursor – a sign that an incident might occur in the future
Indicator – a sign that an incident might already have occurred or is currently occurring
A company is applying the NIST.SP800-61 r2 incident handling process to security events. What are two examples of incidents that are in the category of precursor? (Choose two.)
an IDS alert message being sent
multiple failed logins from an unknown source
log entries that show a response to a port scan
a host that has been verified as infected with malware

What is the responsibility of the human resources department when handing a security incident as defined by NIST?
Coordinate the incident response with other stakeholders and minimize the damage of an incident.
Review the incident policies, plans, and procedures for local or federal guideline violations.
Perform actions to minimize the effectiveness of the attack and preserve evidence.
Perform disciplinary actions if an incident is caused by an employee.
The human resources department may be called upon to perform disciplinary measures if an incident is caused by an employee.
After containing an incident that infected user workstations with malware, what are three effective remediation procedures that an organization can take for eradication? (Choose three.)
Use clean and recent backups to recover hosts.
Change assigned names and passwords for all devices.
Rebuild DHCP servers using clean installation media.
Rebuild hosts with installation media if no backups are available.
Update and patch the operating system and installed software of all hosts.
Disconnect or disable all wired and wireless network adapters until the remediation is complete.
To recover infected user workstations, use clean and recent backups or rebuild the PCs with installation media if no backups are available or they have been compromised. Also, fully update and patch the operating system and installed software of all hosts. All users are encouraged to change their passwords for the workstation or workstations they use. Rebuilding DHCP servers is needed only if they are affected by the incident.Also not all devices need to change the name and password configuration setting unless they are affected by the incident.
In which step of the NIST incident response process does the CSIRT perform an analysis to determine which networks, systems, or applications are affected; who or what originated the incident; and how the incident is occurring?
incident notification
attacker identification
In the detection and analysis phase of the NIST incident response process life cycle, the CSIRT should immediately perform an initial analysis to determine the scope of the incident, such as which networks, systems, or applications are affected; who or what originated the incident; and how the incident is occurring.

Cyware nabs $30M to help organizations detect and stop advanced cyber attacks
Malicious hacking has become a pernicious and dogged fact of life for more organizations, and it's a threat that has seemingly grown more complicated and sophisticated over time. One one effective approach to tackling that has been collaboration: not just applying an array of services to address the issue, but creating environments to help those building cybersecurity to work better together. Today one of the startups building tools to do just that is announcing a round of funding, underscoring the opportunity and its own growth within that.
Cyware, a New York startup that has created a platform for organizations to build and operate virtual "cyber fusion centers" —spaces for people to share threat intelligence, run end-to-end security automation, and orchestrate and execute 360-degree threat responses — has picked up $30 million in funding, a Series B that it will use to continue growing its business.
The funding is being co-led by Advent International and Ten Eleven Ventures. Advent made some waves in the cybersecurity industry last year when it partnered with Crosspoint to acquire Forescout for $1.9 billion. Ten Eleven, meanwhile, is a VC that specializes in cybersecurity startups. Prelude Fund (the venture practice at Mercato Partners), Emerald Development Managers, Great Road Holdings and cloud security firm Zscaler — a mix of financial and strategic investors — also participated. Before this, the startup had raised around $13 million, and it is not disclosing its valuation.
The story of the last year in the world of business has been about how everything has gone online: people and their companies have been working remotely; consumers are browsing, buying and entertaining themselves over the internet and with apps. Digital is where all the traffic is.
Unsurprisingly that has also played out in the world of cybersecurity: the threat landscape has grown, and so cybersecurity responses have grown with them. Cyware said that in the last year it saw 120% year-over-year growth in annual recurring revenue — although it doesn't disclose actual revenue figures. Its customers are a mix of large enterprises, but also those who both collaborate with others to manage cyber security, such as information sharing communities (ISACs), as well as organizations that manage cybersecurity on behalf of a number of others, such as managed security service providers and computer emergency response teams.
Although many might have a stereotype of a malicious hacker in their heads who sits alone in a darkened room with a determined look in his/her eye, the reality is more likely to be a collaboration between a number of people, providing tips, technology, threads that are developed and so on. Cyware, in its focus on providing a platform for collaboration and creating operations centers, seems to take the same approach in what it has built, a platform to make collaborating easier and part of the solution.
It does so through security orchestration, automation and response (known as SOAR), used by teams to collaborate better and make more informed threat scoring, and to respond better to threat alerts. Indeed, a key part of the challenge for a lot of security services is that they cross multiple parts of organizations, including IT, compliance, trust and safety, and indeed security itself. One aim of Cyware is to create a platform for these all to meet and exchange information that could be helpful to others in one place.
Over the past decade, security operations teams have had difficulty with trying to sift through copious amounts of threat data and lacked the humans role as part of their security orchestration strategies, said Anuj Goel, Ph.D., cofounder and CEO of Cyware, in a statement. Our goal with our Virtual Cyber Fusion platform is to help our customers unite their security teams to efficiently respond to high-priority threats by connecting the dots in their environments, and the momentum were experiencing is proof that we are executing on that mission. This Series B financing will help us continue to overdeliver for customers, expand our team, improve our platform and truly revolutionize how security operations and threat intelligence teams work together.
Goel, who cofounded the company with CTO Akshat Jain, cut his teeth in a big security team, as head of global cyber strategy for Citi. He is also an advisor for the Centre for Strategic Cyberspace in London and has worked with other organizations on collaborative approaches to the problem and consequences of malicious hacking.
Investors will have not just been looking at the company's growth, but also the list of customers — themselves also leaders in cyber — that are trusting Cyware.
In our increasingly connected environment, companies of all sizes are demanding new and innovative cybersecurity solutions, said Eric Noeth, Principal, Advent International, in a statement. Cywares early traction among leading enterprises and major ISACs reflects its unique ability to bring together all key security functions to seamlessly anticipate, contextualize and remediate threats. We look forward to drawing on our experience in this sector to help the talented Cyware team make its Virtual Cyber Fusion platform the gold standard technology for enterprises around the world.
