...Pong Core: The core of the game was originally an ideal for a training exercise, assigned and created by a computer scientist who worked for an Atari game company. The ideal was based off of an electronic ping- pong game that was included in the Magnavox Odyssey, the world's first commercial home video game console. Concept: Pong is made up of a simple design, its more like a two- dimensional sports game that simulates table tennis. Each player controls an in- game paddle by moving it vertically across the screen. The players or player simulates hitting a ball back and forth and the goal is to earn more points than the opponent. If a player fails to return the ball to the other side, then the opponent earns a point. Context: The game itself had a type of feel to it that made you want to compete with others, with a scoreboard designed into the game, players were able to keep track of their progress through the rounds. Both players or player had to be the first one to get up to 10 points or risk losing. Features: The features of the game comprised of two paddles that were later divided into eight segments to change the ball's angle of return. The center segments return the ball a 90 degrees angle in relation to the paddle while the outer segments returned the ball at smaller angles. Content: The contents of the game consisted of two paddles and a ball, a borderline that represented each player's playing field, and a scoreboard. It also had sound effects simulating the hitting...

...Video games can best be defined as an interactive electronic game that requires players to control the movement of the character by using a controller and gain points and money, to say the least. Almost all video games require a medium for it to process the movements and actions of the player. The medium can be in a form of a game console, a disc where the game information is stored, a computer and sometimes both disc and console put together. For example, the Xbox or the Playstation require both the console and disc where as some games can be downloaded through the internet. The first form of video game that appeared on departmental store shelves was ‘Pong’ where basically the game was ping pong in an electronic appearance. The game had 2 straight lines that represented the paddles and a dot that represented the ball. The rules of the game was similar to its real counterpart, of that if one player did not hit the ball, the other player would gain one point. Before the game was introduced in a home version, the game was in arcades where children and adults would come and play (Winter, 2010). And ever since the video game was created, it would be surrounded by controversies where people always pointed out the negative effects of it just to get their kids off video games. Today, the video game has evolved rapidly and there are games developed for adults and games are played worldwide. Game consoles have evolved through the years and now can be found in all forms such as mobile phones...

...The nominal cost of gaming, the cost that we go to the store and pay for a console and a game, is where we start. Let's break this down and talk about consoles first then end with game prices. The first ever game console was the Magnavox Odyssey released in 1972 for $75. The console came with all the games loaded onto it so buying other games does not affect the cost of gaming in 1972. To effectively compare this cost to today we must find how much $75 in 1972 is worth today. A simple equation 1972 Price 2015 CPI 1972 CPI=2015 Price is how we get there. So looking up the average consumer price index for 1972 through government charts we find 41.8, and 237.0343 for 2015. This is from a base year chained; 1982-1984 = a cpi of 100. With...

...Ping Sweeps and Port Scans Ping sweeps and ports scans are a common ways for hackers to probe a network and attempt to break into it. Although network probes are technically not intrusions themselves, they should not be taken lightly—they may lead to actual intrusions in the future. In the information that follows, I will provide a standard definition of a ping sweep and port scan, the possible uses of the two, and the prevention methods which are in place in our company to combat ping sweeps and port scans of our network by would be attackers. According to Whatis.com, a ping sweep is a basic networking scanning technique used to determine which range of IP addresses are mapped to active computers. During a ping sweep, Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo requests are sent to many computers, which determines which are active and which are not ("What is ping sweep (ICMP sweep)? - Definition from Whatis.com," n.d.). If a given address is active, it will return an ICMP Echo reply and the attacker will then focus on those machines. Hackers are not the only ones who perform ping sweeps. I use ping sweeps to find out which machines are active on the network for diagnostics reasons and our ISP (Internet Service Provider) uses automated ping operations to monitor their connection. Disabling the ICMP protocol is one option to prevent ping sweeps; however, doing so may cause problems with our ISP leading them to think that the connection is not functioning because their...

...card or adapter, you will use the following command: Ipconfig /renew This will create a new lease on an IP address for your network card or adapter. When the command to renew the IP address is complete, you should compare the result to the initial run of ipconfig and compare the results. Are the entries the same for the IP address and for the default gateway. Exercise 5.3.2 You can use the ping command on your local machine. This does not send traffic out onto the network, but it is an effective means of making sure that your network adapter is functional. To ping the local host, use the following command: Ping localhost What address is returned as the IP address of localhost? How many times is the ping message sent by default? Exercise 5.3.3 For this exercise, you will ping the default gateway and two web addresses to see the difference in timing of the response.

...Ping sweeps and ports scans are common methods for hackers to try to break a network. As a system administrator this is a valid concern and for the boss this should not be a worry for him. The system administrator has a lot of steps to stop efforts from hackers to acquire any data by using ping sweeps and ports scans. If hackers are constantly thwarted and discouraged from penetrating your network they normally move on to another site. With proper instruction, the right software and sufficient support, one can take necessary steps in preventing malicious types of activities in a network. Port scans and ping sweeps may seem dangerous, but they can also be understood and monitored in order to identify and defend against network threats. Port scans (as its name implies) directed to ports and the response received gives the hacker an idea of the systems integrity and to help set them up for a later intrusion. Port scans are the most common probing tool available. Port scans take ping sweeps to a different level. Port scans actually “look” at a machine that is alive and scan for an open port. Once the open port is found, it scans the port to find the service it is running. All machines connected to a Local Area Network or Internet run many services that connects at well-known and not so well known ports. A port scan helps the attacker find which ports are available. Essentially, a port scan consists of sending a message to each port, one at a time. The kind of response received indicates...

...Ping Sweeps and Port Scans Ashlee Jackson Devry University PING SWEEPS AND PORT SCANS Port scans are used to find which ports are open and show what may possibly be running on the target machine(s) from the ping sweep. The intruder will send specially formatted data packets to the ports to get more information, such as: operating system, running applications, etc. This still is not a direct threat, but the intruder is slowly grabbing information that will reveal the vulnerabilities within the computer. When created, the intruder can gain access to the target machine and destroy the target from the inside. Once an open port is found and vulnerable, an average programmer can Ping Sweeps and port scans are something that every network will most likely have happen to it at some point. While these two things themselves are not intrusive to your network, they can uncover holes or vulnerabilities in your network that can be exploited and used for malicious behavior It is safe to say that any large network at some point has been probed by something like a port scan or a ping sweep. These types of probes should not be taken lightly. They can be used to uncover certain vulnerabilities in your network and be used as ways to gain access. The use of computers in this generation has been a necessity. A lot of companies depend on computers to operate their business which is why it is essential...
