This research is motivated by the questions from the community around the mosque about the Qibla direction's accuracy and the early history of purchasing the Qibla direction. This study examines the historical and astronomical aspects so that the community can accept the calculation of the Qibla direction. Does this research focus on how before shopping towards the Qibla of the Jami' Al-Iman Sunan Geseng Loano Mosque? How accurate? This empirical research uses historical and astronomical or astronomical approaches. The research subjects were mosque takmir and community leaders in Loano Purworejo. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation and analyzed through astronomy and normative. The results of this study indicate that the Jami' Al-Iman Sunan Geseng Loano Mosque was founded by Sunan Geseng in 1443 AD, using the supernatural through the media of the priest's hole to determine the Qibla direction.

Cybercrimes in various forms are on the raise daily; these crimes pose a potential threat to our moral society as well as economy and nation building at large. They are namely: social engineering, malvertising, ransom ware, Spamming, Botnets, fake bank alert messages (SMS) /unsolicited SMS requesting you to provide bank details as Bank Verification Number (BVN), fraud, identity theft, piracy, pornography, hacking, fraudulent e-mail related SMS, forgery such as fake documents as Certificate etc. Thus, Cybercrime is gradually becoming a threat to our moral society at large. Hence, the increase number of cybercrime rate is an open field of ongoing research studies. Therefore, we have proposed a new approach that emphases on the prominent cybercrimes carried out around the world, and presents a precise study in Nigeria within some secondary school students.

On a Faraday generator-related note, many folk use the commercially available Genecon hand-cranked dc generator (a small dc motor in a plastic gearing package usually purchased for about $50 from scientific supply houses—see http://www.arborsci.com/detail.aspx?ID=543 and http://store.pasco.com/pascostore/showdetl.cfm?&Product_ID=1706 for example. A much less expensive version can be hacked from a $10 hand-cranked LED light by simply opening the handset, removing the LEDs and replacing them with alligator jumpers. The hand-cranked flashlights are less durable, but can be widely found on sale—Google “sale hand-cranked flashlight.” A website demonstrating this hacked flashlight is visible at http://tinyurl.com/l32467 with other hacks at https://sites.google.com/a/flosscience.com/flosscience/Home/clever-hacks. Genecon use is thoroughly described in the teacher's manual of the highly regarded and recommended CASTLE physics curriculum freely downloadable from PASCO at http://www.pasco...

Hacking is a typical method for breaching personal and confidential information. As a result, hacking is also known as infiltration. Intrusions, on the other hand, were not always recognized as theft and were employed for productive purposes. A person or corporation that does ethical hacking and receives incentives from a network or system owner for testing can enter an apparatus (system or network) to locate, repair, and expose network flaws. Most ethical hackers, also known as black hat hackers, test systems using different approaches, methodologies, and tools. Because today's life is lived in a digital world, we need to protect our privacy from cyber-attacks. The proposed paper discussed ethical hacking and its ramifications, in which black hackers "hack" networks. The proposed research emphasizes ethical hacking tactics. This research also examines the impact of ethical hacking on business, education, health, society, the workplace, technology, sensitive informatio...

The 2023 presidential election in Nigeria presented a contest that differed from previous elections as it presented four leading candidates that all had huge potentials to win, thus making prediction of the outcomes by mere speculations difficult. Consequently, this article implemented sentiment analysis using machine learning (ML) techniques to harvest data on Twitter and analyzed it to provide insights into the outcome of the election. The Logistics Regression and Naïve Bayes ML algorithm were used. The results showed that Logistic Regression has more promise for accuracy and performance as it provides a 97% accuracy and between 94% to 98% performance on precision, recall and F1-Score metrics. The observable pattern on the data analyzed was that each candidate had a day that they reached their summit in Twitter popularity. Findings showed that these peak days were associated with candidates' key activities during their campaigns. For instance, two of the candidates had their peak days when they spoke at the Chatham House in the UK. The other two had theirs when they engaged some influential groups within the country. A comparison of the prediction results with the actual election results however, showed a 25% accuracy as only one candidate maintained the same position in the prediction and the actual results. The implication is that other factors would have influenced the outcome of the election as data collection for the prediction was completed three weeks before the election.

An important aspect of security requirements is a firm understanding of the threats to systems so that specific defense mechanisms can be implemented. Globally scattered network systems and on-demand access to systems such as cloud computing require a high level of security, because the software and hardware of networks are integrated in vulnerable shared or outsourced environments. Hackers are relentless in finding new techniques to gain access to sensitive data. Securing infrastructures is a challenging task, but when researchers identify and investigate potential threats and create solutions, vulnerabilities may be reduced. The purpose of this paper is to explore how use, misuse, positive and negative, obstacle, and abuse testing cases of firewalls have broadened the security policies that mitigate or prevent threats in a cloud environment.

A review of cyber-security attacks and attack surfaces within the aviation sector over the last 20 years provides a mapping of the trends and insights that are of value in informing on future frameworks to protect the evolution of a key industry. The goal is to identify common threat actors, their motivations, attacks types and map the vulnerabilities within aviation infrastructures most commonly subject to persistent attack campaigns. The analyses will enable an improved understanding of both the cu...

The twenty-first century can be said to be the time where digitisation is at its peak, with many programmers tapping into the desire of humans to remain connected without time and space limitations. The number of social media sites have increased exponentially, with new ones cashing in on the weaknesses of older ones, and others going beyond community guidelines by offering uncensored content. The vendors of these platforms, in order to have a wider reach do not place restrictions on viewing age, give promise of making young people famous, and other such attractive offers that make the youths addicted to the site. The possibility of hacking into accounts of users and using same for fraud is another rave among the Nigerian youths with desire for quick riches. The crash in prices of data, smart phones, and related digital devices has increased availability and access thereby closing digital divide and widening its adverse effects on the youths’ morals and academic pursuits. It is impo...

Background The high rise in electronic devices in modern-day society has resulted in crimes in cyber-related crimes as criminals resort to hacking, illegal use of these devices. This is primarily due to perceived high rewards and low chances of being apprehended. The rise in cyber crimes poses a significant challenge to forensic investigators as now they have to process huge volumes of data from a variety of sources within a limited time. This results in investigators taking longer to process cases and in some instances missing links as they deal with data from a variety of sources. Findings In this paper, we provide a definition of big data forensics, and then we discuss the challenges associated with digital forensics investigations when dealing with big data. We provide details on how volume, variety, and velocity all pose a huge challenge in digital forensics investigations. We then discuss how a novel solution called Forensic Cloud Environment (FCE) leverages the power of Hadoo...

Cyberattacks can trigger power outages, military equipment problems, and breaches of confidential information, i.e., medical records could be stolen if they get into the wrong hands. Due to the great monetary worth of the data it holds, the banking industry is particularly at risk. As the number of digital footprints of banks grows, so does the attack surface that hackers can exploit. This paper aims to detect distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks on financial organizations using the Banking Dataset. In this research, we have used multiple classification models for the prediction of DDOS attacks. We have added some complexity to the architecture of generic models to enable them to perform well. We have further applied a support vector machine (SVM), K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) and random forest algorithms (RF). The SVM shows an accuracy of 99.5%, while KNN and RF scored an accuracy of 97.5% and 98.74%, respectively, for the detection of (DDoS) attacks. Upon comparison, it has b...

The article identifies the main risks and threats related to national and international psychological security (PS) in BRICS countries (particularly China, India, and Russia) and posed by the malicious use of artificial intelligence (AI). The main methods of research are systemic, scenario, and case analyses. The authors maintain that PS threats, both national and international, created by the malicious use of AI should be considered at three levels. At the first level, a false negative image of AI is spread. The second level of PS threats is directly related to the malicious use of AI (MUAI), but an attack on public consciousness is not its main goal. The MUAI designed primarily to cause psychological damage belongs to the third, and highest, level of PS threats. Synthetic AI products (combining a number of technologies, which can increase the damage from their hacking or malicious use) create a whole range of new risks and threats to BRICS countries. The reorientation of commercia...

Using passwords, pin-codes, facial recognition, voice recognition, and the OTP (One Time Password) two-way verification protocol, work fine but are subject to easy access due to human errors. Thus, it is very easy for a hacker to gain access to systems using social engineering techniques. According to SANs, the weakest vulnerability in every system is the end user. We propose a system to patch and reduce the human errors that make these user authentication and verification systems vulnerable. A proposed security API system, verifies user identity remotely and instantaneously using artificial intelligence and facial recognition authentication process where a real-time image and video feed of the user’s face will be matched by comparing the records of the user in a software’s database (three-way verification). This is different from the usual facial recognition system as it uses real-time facial gestures by using different levels of security during user authentication and verification...

The purpose of our study was to examine how hacking – as discussed and displayed by participants of Monthly Music Hackathon NYC – could inform making music education practices more accessible and inclusive, if at all, for people with disabilities. Free and open to the public, Monthly Music Hackathon NYC hosts non-competitive community-based events in which participants – musicians, educators, coders, and software/hardware designers from beginner to expert – work on projects collaboratively over the course of a day to address real-world problems posed by stakeholders in their communities. Our research team consisting of the principal investigator and two research assistants attended and videorecorded the events of Monthly Music Hackathon NYC’s ‘Music AccessAbility’ hackathon. In this article, we detail what constitutes hacking at this event and how participants approached hacking disability. We discuss the potential of hacking in music education to create a more accessible and inclus...

This dissertation is concerned with the processes, principles and techniques that are
involved in deception-operations for computer-security defense. In this work, computer
security deception-operations are defined as the planned actions taken to mislead hackers and
thereby cause them to take (or not take) specific actions that aid computer-security defenses.
Computer security researchers have investigated hackers’ use of deception to attack networks
and the deceptive honeypot systems used to defend networks. However, relatively little has
been done to systematically model and examine computer security deception-operations.
This work addresses these issues by focusing on deception for computer-security defense.
The four main contributions of this dissertation are:

1) A process model for deception operations: this model, which is based on military
deception theory and practice, provides deception planners with a framework for conducting
deception operations. The framework includes a set of processes, principles and techniques.

2) A process model of deceptive hiding: this model aids the defender in developing
new hiding techniques and in evaluating existing techniques. Deceptive hiding is modeled as
defeating the target’s discovery processes: direct observation, investigation based on
evidence, and learning from others.

3) Two novel deception-based intrusion detection systems: the two deception models
informed the design and evaluation of these systems. The Honeyfiles system extends the
network file system to provide bait files for hackers. These files trigger an alarm when
opened. The Net-Chaff system employs computer-impersonations to detect and contain
hacker’s network scans within an intranet.

4) Experiments and evaluation: a prototype Honeyfile system was implemented, and
the Net-Chaff system was simulated and modeled analytically. This work, and subsequent
experimentation, provide exploratory and confirmatory assessment of the two deception
models. The experimental portion of this work reveals that: (a) when the Honeyfiles
prototype is deployed on a deceptive network, and when subjected to hacking, it is observed
to be an effective means for intrusion detection, and (b) the Net-Chaff system can reliably
detect and contain intranet scans before they access vulnerable computers.

In the report of this, the World Economic Forum (WEF) highlighted that hacking and phishing is the new norm. Even after the virus have been destroyed. All process and tricks are significantly more viable now during the pandemic as most weak individuals are more anxious and anticipating messages, message, calls, and so on identifying with COVID-19 from the special. New report from F-Secure featured that spam is one of the normal ways of spreading malware. It additionally called attention to how assailants are utilizing the pandemic to captivate individuals to click, essentially by concealing the executable in document records such as compress files. It ought to be referenced that malevolent entertainers might utilize existing, veritable materials as lure to urge individuals to play out an unsafe activity. It is necessary that customers check the sender of an email and see for any links held inside it preceding acting. Digital lawbreakers frequently use pantomime strategies acting lik...
