Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Mariposa Botnet and How It Works. It needs to be at least 1750 words. Botnet means control. The owners of the botnet take control of the infected computers’ functions. While under control, the criminal leaders of the Mariposa Botnet malware can do whatever they want with the files stored in the hacked computers’ database. Malware programs constantly changes to avoid being noticed by the attacked computers’ warning systems. The criminal leaders of the Mariposa Botnet malware masterminds use software strategies and social engineering procedures to find ways to pass on the malware into targeted victims’ computers. Malware sends information to their crime headquarters.

To understand the Mariposa Botnet malware program, the botnet term should first be discussed. A botnet normally occurs in a P2P environment. Several computers connect to each other to engage in file-sharing activities. One computer can connect to a botnet in order to get files located in another botnet member’s computer. Some individuals volunteer to join the peer to peer environment. They feel that the benefits from the botnet environment because they can retrieve files from other botnet environment members (Stamp, 2010).

Understanding the Mariposa Botnet malware program, malware is discussed here. Malware means malicious codes. The infecting malware code acts as an agent. The agent, malware code, does the bidding or obeys the instructions of the malware manufacturer, creator. When infected by the malware, the computer is now like a zombie of the malware creator. The malware culprit obeys the malware creator’s instructions to hand in the personal data or information of the computer unit’s owner or user. When the computer owner gives instructions to the computer, the computer refuses to comply with the computer owner’s instructions (Thompson, 2009).

Further, a computer virus normally differs from a botnet. A virus is a program that is set to activate at a scheduled time, usually sometime in the future.

Need an research paper on colonial america between 1492-1763. Needs to be 4 pages. Please no plagiarism. King Philip’s War, also known as “Metacom’s Rebellion,” a war between the colonists of New England and the various tribes of the surrounding areas, was but one example of the clash of cultures between Native Americans and Europeans. however, it is significant in history as a clash of cultures for a number of reasons, including its number of casualties, the fact that there were no clear divisions along cultural lines, and that it marked the end of hope that the Native American could be integrated into European society in the New World. In 1675, the Wampanoag chief Metacom resolved to drive the settlers out of what he saw as his land. His father, Massasoit, had ruled with gentle wisdom during his time as sachem (chief) of the Wampanoag, going so far as to befriend the settlers and set up trade with them, but Metacom saw things differently.3 It was up to him, he felt, to drive the settlers off his lands, or else he would one day be left with nothing.4 He told European authorities very simply, “I am determined not to live until I have no country.”5 The preceding years of peace and harmony, of trade and prosperity between settlers and Native Americans were quickly coming to an end. Ironically, this great conflict was almost avoided. A man by the name of John Sassamon, who had grown up as a Wampanoag but attended Harvard College where he had been given his English name, warned the governor of Plymouth Colony that Metacom had sent word to various tribes to gather and attack.6 Sassamon pleaded with the governor to be allowed to stay at Plymouth Colony, fearing revenge for his warning. the governor heartily dismissed him and sent him back to his tribe.7 This action would prove to be dire in starting the conflict between the two cultures. It did not take long for hostilities to come to a climax. Sassamon was discovered a week later, his body found in a frozen pond with the neck broken.8 The governor was alarmed, and recalling the warnings he had been given, decided to assert his authority over the Native Americans.9 When he received reports that it was two Wampanoag warriors that had been seen murdering Sassamon, he entered the village of Metacom, dragged the warriors back to Plymouth Colony, and had them tried and executed in short order.10 To Metacom, this was seen as a gross injustice of his power, and only served to reinforce his belief that the settlers intended one day to take over both his tribe and all lands.11 Revenge was the only option left, and therefore, it was the option that was taken. The attacks began immediately. First to fall was the southwestern Plymouth settlement of Swansea, which was quickly burned and the settlers driven off. 12 Over the next months, Metacom took his war to various tribes and settlements all around New England.13 Skirmishes and battles erupted within Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut, with tribes rallying around both sides.14 More than twenty towns and settlements were attacked in Massachusetts alone.
