Explanation of Solution

Information ethics is the branch of ethics, which deals with creation, organisation and use of the information. Information ethics are the moral codes governing human society regarding information.

Information security is the prevention of unauthorised use of the information, especially digital electronic data.

A business grows depending on the quality of its data. A business needs information to take decisions. Information ethics and security are very critical requirement of any business, as the data created and collected within a business needs to be valid and should not neglect the moral codes of the information as it could lead a business into lawsuit if data collected is copyrighted or highly sensitive. A business is also needs to secure its data, to avoid any significance loss which can occur due to data loss. If a data is lost or stolen it could left a business to a dead end of their business.

The importance of information ethics and information security to prevent hackers from gaining access to an organization are:

  • Information ethics and information security guides computer use policy and the code of conducts for employees to prevent any accidental data loss due to explicit activities of hackers.
  • Information ethics and information security incorporates the acceptance use policy, which states the details of information that can be accepted from the outside sources of company. This helps reduce chances of downloading any viruses or any malware from the hackers.
  • Information ethics and information security outlines social media policy to guide employees and corporate companies to avoid leaking any details of their data security and guides governing principle for online communications, because it has been seen hackers use social engineered schemes to lure employees for leaking data without even letting them know.
  • Information ethics and information security states employee-monitoring policy that helps identify any week links in the staff that can be compromised. This helps to reduce and eliminate risks of being vulnerable to hacking.

Conclusion:

Information ethics and information security definition and importance for an organization are explained above.

Task 2: File Deletion and Recovery Create a sparse FAT filesystem image named recovery. img using mkfs. fat. You can choose the size of the filesystem as long as it is less than 2GB. Copy 3 files of your choice into the filesystem, e.g., by using mcopy or by mounting the filesystem and using cp. Note that the size of each file must be between 4KB and 6KB. Pick one of the files (say foo.jpg) and identify which byte offsets and which clusters are used to store it using mshowfat. The ranges that you give should be inclusive of the last byte/cluster. Record your answers in a file named recovery.txt with a table of this form: FILENAME: foo.jpg byte offset range | cluster range 0x04200-0x047ff 0x06400-0x0651c 2-4 | 19-19 | Now find the part of the File Allocation Table that corresponds to your choice of file. Add a hexdump of the part of File Allocation Table you find to your file recovery.txt and annotate it to show the clusters. If you have a FAT12 filesystem, then it can look like the…

A CO₂-saturated brine (ionic strength = 2.5 mol/kg, pH = 3, a_H⁺ = 0.01) flows at 2 cm/s through a horizontal tubular reactor (L = 1 m, D = 0.05 m) packed with 5 kg of olivine (Zhuravlev-BET surface area = 30 m²/g). The system operates at 90 °C and 40 bar, and external mass transfer resistance is negligible. The rate-limiting step is electron transfer at the mineral surface, governed by Marcus theory, with λ = 0.75 eV, ΔG° = –0.30 eV, and k₀ = 10⁶ s⁻¹. The Mg²⁺ activity coefficient is γ = 0.76 (from PHREEQC with Pitzer model). For Mg₂SiO₄ + 4 H⁺ → 2 Mg²⁺ + SiO₂(aq) + 2 H₂O, determine the total moles of Mg²⁺ released after 10 minutes at steady state.
