Cycle 18 Day 8
Today in IST I worked on my presentation all day because I was out yesterday so I wasn't able to finish it and present it. The famous hack I researched for my presentation was the Kriegsman furs hack. A group of anti-fur activists hacked the Kriegsman furs website and replaced it with anti fur manifesto and facts about how animals are turned into fur goods. Today I learned that an SQL injection is a method to hack a website by typing in SQL commands which by this way you can get into the website database and mess with sensitive data. I would like to know more about other injection methods. Because It would be cool to know how to get into to a website that doesn't have that much safety. Overall today was a good day I got my presentation finished and I learned a lot about how the attack on Kriegsman furs.

Cycle 18 Day 6
Today in IST I learned about different hacks and code breaking methods. Now we have a project on this subject. we have to pick a famous hack and tell how it happened why it happened and what was the damages it did to people. Also it has to be presented to the class tomorrow so I have a lot of work to do tonight. I would like to know more about how hacks are made and what is used to make them. Because I would like to make my own just for fun and not to harm anyone. Overall today was an okay day I didn't really get that much done and I was really tired all day so maybe tomorrow will be better.
Cycle 18 Week 1
On Monday we took a pre-test for our D.W.T.A (District Wide Trimester Assessment) It was on internet security. I learned that it is important to scan your computer weekly because you might have gone on a website with trojans or malware. I would like to know more about what is the difference between all of the anti-virus programs because if they all do the same thing they should all be the same. Overall today was a good day it went by quickly but I was productive most of the day.
On Tuesday I worked with Steve on Cryptology we made our own encrypted message. Our encrypted message had multiple layers so it was harder to crack. After we finished making it we had to partner up with another group and try to crack each others codes. Steve and I were successful on cracking the other groups code but they weren't on ours. I learned that Crpytology is the science of code breaking and that there are different methods of breaking and making codes to encrypt messages. I would like to know more about how encrypted messages work over the internet. Overall today was a good day I learned new things and had fun creating the encrypted message with Steve.
On Wensday and Thursday we took the pre-test again for the D.W.T.A . After that we continued to read about internet security. I learned about the N.S.A (National Security Agency) they have a government facility that teaches people about Cryptology. I want to learn more about Cryptology and the science behind it. Overall today was an okay kind of day because I wasn't really paying attention during the first half of the videos we watch on Cryptology.
On Friday we took the D.W.T.A in the afternoon after studying in the morning for it. The real D.W.T.A was the exact same thing as the practice one so I knew I would ace it and I did. Today I didn't really learn anything at all. I don't really know what I want to learn more about because I didn't learn anything today. My day today was good it was pretty much just a chill day and we didn't do much work at all.
