IT544-2: Analyze the cybersecurity software development life cycle (SDLC).
Scenario
You recently took a position as a cybersecurity analyst for a small software company. The software company currently has three commercially available off-the-shelf software products that are sold to businesses and/or organizations (B2B). They can range from small companies to very large companies, including those in the Fortune 500. One of their products has been identified by CERT to have several vulnerabilities. Since this event occurred, the chief cybersecurity officer (CCSO) suspects that not enough security is built into the software development process used at the company. You have been asked by the CCSO to conduct a cyberattack surface analysis on one of their Web-based products in an effort to improve the software development process.
For the assignment, assume that the presentation layer resides on a dedicated server in the company’s DMZ. The other two layers of the software are behind the corporate firewall and can reside on one or two dedicated servers. The Web application is accessible from the Internet and is browser based. Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Safari are the supported browsers.
Assignment Instructions
For Assignment purposes, select a multi-layered (presentation layer, business layer, and database layer) web-based open source project in place of the software company’s web-based product. In place of the open source project, if you are familiar with another web-based system that meets the requirements, then discuss using it with your instructor.
Examples of multi-layered open source projects/products include:
Office Libre
Facebook
Mozilla Firefox
GIMP (for web development)
Audacity
WordPress
MySQL
You will conduct a cyberattack surface analysis on the system/application you selected. Focus your analysis from an external cyberattack point of view. It is not necessary to focus on end user cyberattacks (social engineering attacks, etc.).
Define the cyberattack surface (including operating systems and web servers) by identifying and mapping the cyberattack vectors.

Categorize what was identified
Describe three use cases that involve the attack surfaces

Create a graphic representation of the attack surface with labels (Use Visio or any other open source diagramming or drawing tool).
Discuss how the attack surface can be reduced.
Your attack surface analysis can be done mentally and on paper or you can use an open source attack surface analyzer (OWASP’s Zap is one example).
Assignment Requirements:
3–4 pages of content (exclusive of title page and reference page), double-spaced in 12pt Times New Roman font, using correct APA formatting and including a title page and reference page
At least one credible source.
Correct spelling and grammar.
Correct APA formatting.

Project Name: LastnameP4part1
Package Name: com.cnm.cis2237.lastname.p4part1
Minimum SDK: = 26 or higher, so we can use the Database Inspector
Select Basic Views Activity in the Activity Template screen
Don’t forget to select Kotlin!
Your project will have these files:
1. MainActivity.kt
2. MainFragment.kt
3. Task.kt
4. TaskListAdapter.kt
5. activity_main.xml
6. fragment_main.xml
7. list_item_task.xml
8. navigation_graph.xml
New skills:
• Parcelize a Class
• Code in Kotlin
1. DeleteFirstFragment and SecondFragment That means FirstFragment.java, fragment_first.xml, and FirstFragment in the nav_graph.
2. Add a new fragment, MainFragment, as a blank fragment. Delete the boilerplate code
3. If you look at the nav_graph, you will see that content_main contains the nav_host_fragment already. Click + to add the MainFragment as the Home.
4. Run your project. It should show the MainFragment and say Hello blank fragment. If it doesn’t, delete your project and create another one.
5. Delete the FAB in MainActivity and activity_main.xml.
6. Create a new Kotlin class. Name it the Task class. It is a data class. It has these class members:
var taskId: Int = 0 
var taskName: String = “” 
var taskDue: Boolean = false
7. Open fragment_main.xml
a. Delete the TextView and convert the Frame layout to a Coordinator layout. Right -click on FrameLayout and select Convert view… Select Coordinator layout. Click apply.
b. Add a recyclerview. 
c. id = taskRecycler
d. layout width and height = match_parent
e. layout_margin = 16dp
8. Add a Floating Action Button(FAB) 
a. First create a Vector Asset in the drawable folder. In the Configure Vector Asset dialog, click on the clip Art button and search for Add. There are many choices. Pick on to be the icon on the FAB. Click OK, then Next, then Finish.
b. Add a FAB to the screen. Click on your selected icon in the Pick a Resource dialog, The FAB will land at the top left. Don’t worry.
c. id = addFab
d. layout_width and height = wrap_content
e. layout_gravity = bottom/right
f. layout margin_end and bottom = 10dp
g. Give the button a background color if you want.
h. Add a content Description: Add a new task. Then extract the string resource.
9. Open MainFragment.kt 
 
a. Create a list of tasks. It can be empty: private var taskList = mutableListOf()
b.  Create a class-scope variable for the adapter, the layoutManager and the recyclerView. 
private val adapter = TaskListAdapter(taskList) //This will be red.
private val taskRecycler: RecyclerView? = null
private var layoutManager: RecyclerView.LayoutManager? = null
c. Add an override method, onViewCreated.
d. Call 3 methods recyclerViewSetup(view), observerSetup() and listenerSetup(view). Let AS create them for you outside the method.
e. Code recyclerViewSetup – We’ll do this after we write the Adapter class.
i. Wire up the recycler view variable using view.findViewbyId or use viewbinding
ii. instantiate the adapter and pass it the layout id (we have not made this yet)
iii. create a linear layout manager for the recycler view
iv. set the adapter into the recycler view.
f. Code method listenerSetup : 
i. Wire up the FAB or use view binding
ii. Create an onClick listener for the fab. We’ll code it later.
g. Let AS create the observerSetup method for you and we’ll code it later.
10. We need to work on our recycler view. 
a. We need a layout for each row
a. Create a new LayoutResource File, called list_item_task. This layout will hold each line in the recycler view. Make its root element a constraint layout.
b. The layout height should be wrap_content.
c. Add a linear layout to the constraint layout or simply constrain the two items in the layout.
d.  I added a layout margin of 8dp
e. Next, add a TextView ,which will display the title or name of the task.
f.  Give it an id, txtName
g. I made the text size = 20sp
h. And added a margin to the top of 8dp
i. The text can be blank for both.
j. Add another TextView, txtDue, which will display when the task is due to be done
k. Probably make it wrap_content for height and width. 
l. Maybe center it in the layout?
11. Add a new Kotlin class called TaskListAdapter. 
a. It will have one private variable in its constructor, taskItemLayout, an Int
b. It also extends RecyclerView.Adapter and then we add the part where we say the Adapter works with theView Holder ? = null 
h. For onCreateViewHolder, break up the layout inflation and return ViewHolder(view)
i. For onBindViewHolder, add the code for the two widgets to be accessed:
val name = holder.taskName
val due= holder.chkDue
taskList.let{
  title.text = it!![position].taskName
 done.isChecked = it!![position].taskDone
  }
j. Or you can put them together for shorter code:
   holder.taskTitle.text = taskList!![position].taskName
   holder.chkDone.isChecked = taskList!![position].taskDone
k. For getItemCount(), return if(taskList == null) 0 else taskList!!.size
l. Add a method:
 setTaskList(tasks: List){
   taskList = tasks
  notifyDataSetChanged()
}
m. And another method:
fun getAllTheTasks() : List? {
return taskList
}
12. In order to see the new Task object in MainFragment, we must return the object through safeargs.
13. First, we need to make the Task class parcelable.:
a. open libs.versions.toml and add:
b. [versions]: kotlinPlugin = “1.8.10”
c. [plugins]: kotlin-parcelize = { id = “org.jetbrains.kotlin.plugin.parcelize”, version.ref = “kotlinPlugin” }
d. In build.gradle (Module), add to the plugins at the top: id(“kotlin-parcelize”)
e. Open the Task data class. 
i. Above the declaration, data class Task( add @Parcelize
ii. After the ending ) add : Parcelable
iii. You will need to import both.
14. Then, add the safeargs dependencies:
a. In libs.versions.toml: [Libraries] 
androidx-navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin = { module = “androidx.navigation:navigation-safe-args-gradle-plugin”, version.ref = “navigationFragmentKtx” }
b. In build.gradle (Project ), add at the top of the file, before the plugins:
buildscript{
dependencies{
classpath(libs.androidx.navigation.safe.args.gradle.plugin)
}
}
c. In build.gradle (Module) add this at the top under plugins: id(“androidx.navigation.safeargs”)
d. Sync
15. Now open the nav_graph. 
a. Add an action from AddTask fragment back to MainFragment.. rename it if you want to.
b. Still in the nav_graph, select the MainFragment, which is the destination for passing the new Task object.
c. Under Arguments, press the + and see this dialog: 
d. Add the name of the class Task and select Custom Parcelable from the drop-down list of type choices. You will see this new dialog: 
e. Select the blue line with Task as one of your classes. Then you see a new dialog, where the only pertinent thing to do is press the Add button.
16. Open Add TaskFragment.java. Extract the object you want to send to MainFragment and add it to the action:
val action: AddTaskFragmentDirections.ActionAddTaskFragmentToMainFragment = 
AddTaskFragmentDirections.actionAddTaskFragmentToMainFragment(newTask)
Navigation.findNavController(it).navigate(action)
17. Open MainFragment. Either in an onStart or another method, add the required code to extract the new task from the args. 
arguments?.let{
val args = MainFragmentArgs.fromBundle(it)
val currentTask = args.task
if(currentTask != null) {
taskList.add(currentTask)
adapter.setList(taskList)
}
}
18. Run your project. You should see a blank screen with the Fab to add task. If you want to see some initial tasks. Create a couple of tasks in MainFragment and have them be in the TasklList:  private var taskList = mutableListOf(task1, task2)

Discussion Seven – Social Networking
Social networking Web sites create online communities of Internet users that eliminate barriers created by time, distance, and cultural differences. These sites allow people to interact with others online by sharing opinions, insights, information, interests, and experiences.  Members may use the site to interact with friends, family members, and colleagues they already know, but that they may also wish to develop new personal and professional relationships on the sites.
Social network advertising uses social networks to inform, promote, and communicate the benefits of products and services, and there are several advertising strategies.  Banner ads on social networks can either be displayed to each visitor to the Web site or by using the information in user profiles, directed toward those members who would likely find the product most appealing.  People frequently make decisions based on input from their close group of friends and advertising and use an individual’s network of friends.  Company owned social networking web sites allow users to talk about new products, services, or improvements they would like to see and the company can implement customer-submitted ideas. Viral marketing is where users pass along a marketing message to others, creating the potential for exponential growth.
Many companies are using social media to advertise, collect information, or gather background on individuals. Do you think this is ethical?
