Comp 552 Introduction To Cybersecurity Winter 2022 Logbook Reporting Week # Information About Storage of Information Date: 23 Jan 2022

This document summarizes a logbook report for a cybersecurity lab from January 23, 2022. The lab focused on password protection and discussed the computer worms Stuxnet and Iron Gate. Stuxnet targeted programmable logic controllers used to automate machine processes at a nuclear facility, while Iron Gate uses a man-in-the-middle attack to replace monitoring software. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of using strong passwords to keep data private and secure.

Introduction to cybersecurity winter 2022


Logbook Reporting week # Information about storage of information
Date: 23 jan 2022

Introduction:
overall purpose of the lab was how to protect data from being hacked by keeping
strong password as well as lecture also delivered information about Stuxnet and
iron Gate. The distinction between Stuxnet and iron gate was also discussed.

Acitivites :
• Importance of strong password
• Control waste water
• Lower/raise temperature of waste water
• Nuclear facility

Discussion:
The topic of computer worm was discussed in lecture and also about original
Stuxnet malware attack target the programmable logic controllers used to
automate machine processes. Moreover, the topic of iron gate was defined in
lecture that is IRONGATE's key feature is a man-in-the-middle attack against
process input-output and process operator software within industrial process
simulation. The malware replaces a Dynamic Link Library with a malicious DLL,
which then acts as a broker between a PLC and the legitimate monitoring
software. Furthermore, the disaster effects of hacking was elaborated and also
give advice about keeping strong passwords including symbols and letters.
Conclusion:
In nutshell, the lecture was delineated information about passwords, computer
worm, malfunction software, nuclear facility, waste water control system.
Although the data is safely secured in phones and laptops but we should keep
data private and protect by using strong passwords.

Optional:
