NIST has created a project called the NICE Challenge Project (https://nice-challenge.com/) with the goal of developing virtual challenges and environments to test students and professionals alike on their ability to perform NICE Cybersecurity Workforce Framework tasks and exhibit their knowledge, skills, and abilities.
The NICE Challenge Project has dozens of unique challenges available for students and cybersecurity professionals.
In addition, NIST has created a website called CyberSeek (cyberseek.org). According to its home page, CyberSeek provides detailed, actionable data about supply and demand in the cybersecurity job market. One of the main features of the CyberSeek website is the ability to track data on cybersecurity job demand within the public and private sectors. The CyberSeek career pathway helps students and professionals interested in cybersecurity careers and employers looking to fill job openings.
In a three-page research paper, address the fol

The CEO's Challenge
Use the Week 3 Assignment Template to complete this assignment.

Choose a company to base this paper on. You may use a current or former employer, but do not disclose anything confidential. Or, you can pick another organization if you are familiar with their internal (not customer-facing) information systems. You can disguise the organization and populate it with famous names.

Part 1: Type 5 Cisco Password Hashes
To keep your routers, firewalls, and switches secure, they need good passwords. Type 5 Cisco password hashes employ a technique called salting. Discuss password hashes and salting and discuss password cracking tools or websites that can be used to crack Cisco password hashes. Some of the most popular Linux tools are John the Ripper and Hashcat, which are both already included with the Kali Linux distribution. The Windows tool Cain can also crack Cisco passwords. Use the as is choice and the default wordlist that comes with Cain on the password hashes below. You may elect to crack some of them and explain how you did it for part of this discussion:

Part 2: Type 7 Cisco Password Hashes
The Cisco type 7 password is not much better than putting the password in clear text, which is the default if you do not type the command servi

You were selected to design a small peer-to-peer network for a new facility which has six computers and a networked printer. Each desk computer must have a wired network connection. The rooms are to have wireless access for mobile devices.

For this assignment, you will utilize Gliffy, (Links to an external site.) a software application to create a basic network diagram depicting a star topology with a switch as the central communications node. The focus here is on the network communications equipment for this LAN. Include only that equipment and end node devices on the network diagram. There is no need to draw out the layout of the physical space.
