This document provides descriptions of various networking devices including hubs, switches, routers, bridges, and repeaters. It explains that hubs connect multiple devices but do not filter data or determine the best path for data packets. Switches maintain a list of network addresses and transmit data packets to the correct port, allowing for faster transmission speeds than hubs. Routers route data packets based on IP addresses and connect local and wide area networks. Bridges divide large networks into smaller segments and connect different network types/architectures. Repeaters regenerate weak signals to extend transmission distances but do not amplify signals.
Fixed hard disks are used for storing operating systems and applications on a computer. They have high access speeds and storage capacities but cannot be removed from the computer. Portable hard disks can store large files and transfer them between computers, but can be easily stolen. Magnetic tapes provide extremely large storage capacities for backups but have slow access speeds. Optical disks like CDs and DVDs are used to distribute software, movies and files but have slower data rates than hard disks. Solid state storage like memory sticks are small, robust and portable but have lower capacity and speeds than hard disks. Backups protect against data loss by making copies of files and storing them separately from the originals.

A network connects two or more computers together to share resources. Computers on a network can be connected through cables, phone lines, wireless connections or other methods. A local area network (LAN) connects computers within a small area like a building through cables or wireless connections. Each computer needs a network interface card to connect to the LAN. Most LANs use a powerful server computer that stores shared files and software and controls the network, while other computers that access these resources are called clients.
computer network is a group of interconnected computers that share information and resources. The most common resource shared today is connection to the Internet. Other shared resources can include a printer or a file server. The Internet itself can be considered a computer network. Two basic network types are local-area networks (LANs) and wide-area networks (WANs). LANs connect computers and peripheral devices in a limited physical area, such as a business office, laboratory, or college campus, by means of links (wires, Ethernet cables, fibre optics, Wi-Fi) that transmit data rapidly.

This time, we're diving into the murky waters of the Fuxnet malware, a brainchild of the illustrious Blackjack hacking group.
Let's set the scene: Moscow, a city unsuspectingly going about its business, unaware that it's about to be the star of Blackjack's latest production. The method? Oh, nothing too fancy, just the classic "let's potentially disable sensor-gateways" move.
In a move of unparalleled transparency, Blackjack decides to broadcast their cyber conquests on ruexfil.com. Because nothing screams "covert operation" like a public display of your hacking prowess, complete with screenshots for the visually inclined.
Ah, but here's where the plot thickens: the initial claim of 2,659 sensor-gateways laid to waste? A slight exaggeration, it seems. The actual tally? A little over 500. It's akin to declaring world domination and then barely managing to annex your backyard.
For Blackjack, ever the dramatists, hint at a sequel, suggesting the JSON files were merely a teaser of the chaos yet to come. Because what's a cyberattack without a hint of sequel bait, teasing audiences with the promise of more digital destruction?
-------
This document presents a comprehensive analysis of the Fuxnet malware, attributed to the Blackjack hacking group, which has reportedly targeted infrastructure. The analysis delves into various aspects of the malware, including its technical specifications, impact on systems, defense mechanisms, propagation methods, targets, and the motivations behind its deployment. By examining these facets, the document aims to provide a detailed overview of Fuxnet's capabilities and its implications for cybersecurity.
The document offers a qualitative summary of the Fuxnet malware, based on the information publicly shared by the attackers and analyzed by cybersecurity experts. This analysis is invaluable for security professionals, IT specialists, and stakeholders in various industries, as it not only sheds light on the technical intricacies of a sophisticated cyber threat but also emphasizes the importance of robust cybersecurity measures in safeguarding critical infrastructure against emerging threats. Through this detailed examination, the document contributes to the broader understanding of cyber warfare tactics and enhances the preparedness of organizations to defend against similar attacks in the future.

Exam Question
The advantages of using a computer network is that it is easier to share files and
data. Also resources such as one printer can be shared with many workstations
(computers). However printer ques could be long. Since all the computers are
connected together there is a greater risk of hackers or viruses spreading which
could disable the network. In addition the cost (expenditure) of the equipment
could be significant. Furthermore a network will allow data to be stored centrally
which will means files can be accessed from any work station on the network. Also
central settings can be applied to all work stations for example restrictions in
changing computer settings from the control panel.
