This week of class was very interesting and reminded me of a lot of the vulnerabilities out there. The teacher went into some history about cryptographs as well as preventive methods from being breached. He went of WPA encryption and made sure that everyone in the class understood that WEP is not a good method for encrypting your wireless network. The teacher also went into great details on all of the types of attacks and what they meant. I thought that dumpster diving and social engineering where interesting attacks. I believe there is a lot of social engineering that goes on but many people do not realize that they are doing this. I see this happening at work all of the time and spreading information that everyone does not need to know can create a real issue when it comes to proprietary or secure information.
