Explanation of Solution

IDPS (Intrusion Detection and Prevention System):

  • When a system has the ability to identify and modify its configuration and also prevents the intrusion present in the environment, it is called as Intrusion Detection and Prevention System.
  • It includes functions of both detecting the intrusion and also preventing the intrusions present in the system.

Common Security system of an IDPS:

  • The common security system of an IDPS is that it is capable of working like a burglar alarm.
  • It has the ability to detect the traffic present in the network which will violate the rules that are configured in the system.
  • When an intrusion is detected in the rules that are defined an alarm gets activated.
  • The alarm gets activated in audible form or visual form or silent form.
  • The notifications are enabled to the system directly through an email or using pages.

Similarity between IDPS and common security system:

  • IDPS contains specific set of instructions for detecting and preventing the attack that is happening outside.
  • The system is configured as a burglar alarm which acts as an alert to notify the external security services in an organization when a “break –in” happens.
  • IDPS are similar with common security system as the alarm is set to warn the admin about the intrusion that had happened and will notify the offenders using burglar alarms sticker which indicates the system is being protected is same as the alarm detection used in common security system.

Lab 07: Java Graphics (Bonus lab) In this lab, we'll be practicing what we learned about GUIs, and Mouse events. You will need to implement the following: ➤ A GUI with a drawing panel. We can click in this panel, and you will capture those clicks as a Point (see java.awt.Point) in a PointCollection class (you need to build this). о The points need to be represented by circles. Below the drawing panel, you will need 5 buttons: о An input button to register your mouse to the drawing panel. ○ о о A show button to paint the points in your collection on the drawing panel. A button to shift all the points to the left by 50 pixels. The x position of the points is not allowed to go below zero. Another button to shift all the points to the right 50 pixels. The x position of the points cannot go further than the You can implement this GUI in any way you choose. I suggest using the BorderLayout for a panel containing the buttons, and a GridLayout to hold the drawing panel and button panels.…
If a UDP datagram is sent from host A, port P to host B, port Q, but at host B there is no process listening to port Q, then B is to send back an ICMP Port Unreachable message to A. Like all ICMP messages, this is addressed to A as a whole, not to port P on A. (a)  Give an example of when an application might want to receive such ICMP messages. (b)  Find out what an application has to do, on the operating system of your choice, to receive such messages. (c)  Why might it not be a good idea to send such messages directly back to the originating port P on A?
