A case study on computer security for non-expert computer user
Pages 361 - 365
Abstract
Computer security is a growing concern for many personal computer owners. Cyber crime has been on a constant rise. Many home computer owners don't realize that they need to pay attention to computer security very closely. This paper describes an investigation on both sides of a cyber attack. We measure the activities of a computer's inner workings while it is under attack. The intent is to reveal indications that an intrusion has occurred by showing events that occur when a personal computer user's password has been hacked. With this gained knowledge, a system can be put in place that can alert the user that his/her computer is under an attack. The main goal is to design a system that is easy for any novice computer user to use.
