## Christmas wish list

-  Password cracking service
-  HTTP vulnerability scan

## Jim’s friendly email

- (at least) one of the following web attacks were successful against cci,
- in that the /etc/passwd file was read out - yikes! /etc/passwd has the
- crypttext for the root password (i.e. its not shadowed).  I'm blocking
- cci from internet access:
- Dec  4 11:10:02 HTTP_SensitiveURI
- 200-103-127-198.bsace705.dsl.brasiltelecom.net.br/1699 > cci/http
- %30399: GET
- /cctbx_build/**show_folded.cgi**?source=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/passwd
- (200 "OK" [1181] cci.lbl.gov)

- /cctbx_build/**show_folded.cgi**?source=../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../etc/shadow

## Slide 3

## Slide 4

## Immediate reactions

- Review of all CGI scripts
- Revealed a few similar vulnerabilities
- Similar scripts used in multiple places
- Entire sections of web server disabled
- Reorganization of CGI scripts
- Loss of time: one day
- Root password changed on 30+ machines
- Loss of time: couple of hours
- Server back online after about 28 hours

## Worries remain!

- CGI scripts are essential but intrinsically insecure
- CGI script developer struggling with inherent complexity: security is only an afterthought
- CGI scripts shared with co-workers who copy them to other servers: difficult to track down all copies if a problem is found later
- New people get involved in the future: unawareness leads to new incidents
- Quality of passwords is our last line of defense

## Password cracking exercise

- Google search: “John the Ripper”
- Installs quickly
- Runs very quickly and pinpoints three weak passwords
- But stops with an error message
- Bad luck: John the Ripper web site is down that day
- Time invested: about one hour

## Password cracking worries

- Is John the Ripper the best tool to use?
- Did I use it correctly?
- Why did it finish so quickly?
- What does the error message mean?
- What are “word lists” and “character list”?
- How important is it to maintain these lists?
- Answering these questions and ongoing maintenance is likely to consume a significant amount of time -> likely to fall through the crack sooner rather than later.

## Could someone please help protect ourselves better?

- If hackers have automatic tools for CGI attacks, couldn’t these be included in the routine scans conducted by CPP?
- Central password cracking service?
- Send password files to central server via a cron job
- Server sends email with list of weak passwords
- Awareness alone will lead to timely fixes in most cases
- Central, professionally managed facility maximizes quality and cost efficiency at the same time
- Combination of bondo and password cracking?

## Today’s Major Issues

**Financial stability**
**Workforce**
**Regulatory mandates**
**Safety and error reduction**
**Professional liability**

## Hospital Financial Overview

**1/3 operating at a loss on total bottom line**
**1/3 operating at a loss on patient care but achieving minor margin on non-operating income**
**1/3 achieving a margin on patient care and total bottom line**
**Financial market results are a big unknown for 2002**

## Hospitals face severe workforce shortages...

## Change Drivers

**New science:  ****new knowledge base**
**Coverage/financing:  ****employer role**
**Demography:  ****aging, diversity of society**
**Consumerism:  ****service expectations**
**Workforce supply:  ****long-term shortage**
**Community organization:  ****virtual**
**Societal decision-making:  ****market-based**
**“****Niche” providers:  ****Loss of profitable**

## Greatest Risk

**Small volume hospitals**
**Can’t make the utilization underlying current payment approaches**
**High uncompensated care hospitals**
**Mandate for care not matched by mandate for payment**
**High debt load hospitals**
**Financial inflexibility**

## Strategies for Hospitals

**Retain hands-on care as a core purpose**
**Continue 24x7x365 care**
**Reflect distinctive local characteristics**
**View institution as programs, not facilities**
**Focus on consumers**
**Develop information service strategy**
**Create own workforce**
**“****Partner” for capital**
**Encourage innovative leadership**** **

## Changing Hospital Roles

**Backstopping the system:  24x7**
**Increasing intensive care**
**Increasing emergency care**
**Terrorism preparedness**
**Rural hospitals:  providing the continuum of care**

## Questions For the Committee

**Questions For the Committee**
**As users of data, would you prefer to have tables 1) protected by methods that change the data slightly, such as CTA or noise adjustment, or 2) protected by suppression – withholding sensitive cells plus others to protect them?  **
**What are the issues that EIA should consider as we try to come up with a common approach to protecting tabular data?**
**If EIA wants to begin using data adjustment methods (CTA or noise), how should EIA inform users that the data have been changed?**

**Planning for a MEPAG Science Analysis Group for the 2016 Opportunity****Jack Mustard **Sept. 18, 2008

## 2016 SAG—Draft Assumptions

- The mission includes a single rover.  Attributes:  solar-powered, targeting accuracy of 3 km radius, rover range at least 10 km (so exploration of  ‘go-to’ sites is possible), lifetime > 1 Mars year, not rated to visit a PP Special Region
- This would be a dual purpose mission:  1) conduct high priority in-situ science, 2) prepare for MSR.
- The rover would have the capability to prepare a cache of samples that meet the standards of quality described by ND-SAG, that could potentially be recovered by MSR.
- The preliminary cost cap for the mission is about $1.5B (to be confirmed).

_**2016 SAG—Draft Assumptions**_

## 2016 SAG—Draft Requested Tasks

- Based on the most recent version of the MEPAG Goals Document and recent reports from the NRC, analyze the kinds of high-priority science that could be accomplished with this mission concept.  Propose draft statements of scientific objective.
- Determine the most important ways in which this mission could make a contribution to a future MSR.  The assembly of a cache is assumed, but are there other ways in which this mission could prepare for a future MSR?
- Given the possibility that the 2016 sample cache could be returned by a MSR, a mission with significant planetary protection constraints, analyze the possible planetary protection requirements for 2016, and the possible range of options for complying with these requirements.

_**2016 SAG—Draft Requested Tasks**_

## 2016 SAG—Draft Requested Tasks

- Analyze the trade-offs associated with simultaneously optimizing Task #1 and Task #2.
- Considering the science that this mission may accomplish, in what technologies should investments be made to maximize the mission copabilities.
- In cooperation with the Advance Studies engineering team, evaluate possible refinements to the mission engineering and/or operational scenario that would increase the mission’s value, consistent with the given approximate cost cap.

_**2016 SAG—Draft Requested Tasks**_

## 2016 SAG—Draft Timing

- The SAG is expected to begin its discussions as soon as the team is assembled.
- A status check by the MEPAG Executive Committee is requested by about Dec. 15, 2008.
- A mid-term presentation at MEPAG, Spring 2009
- A reviewable draft report, June 1, 2009.  After a suitable review and comment period, a revised report is requested.

## Epitaxial Electrodeposition of Chiral Metal Oxide FilmsJay A. Switzer, University of Missouri-Rolla, DMR 0504715

- 	Chirality is ubiquitous in Nature. Sea shells consist of calcium carbonate (calcite) which biomineralizes into right- or left-handed spirals. Inspired by Nature, Switzer and his students are using electrochemial biomineralization to produce chiral architectures of calcite. In the figure, the calcite was produced using tartaric acid (top), malic acid (middle), and aspartic acid (bottom) to control the chiral morphology.

## Hit to track association in the IST 12 cm layer with various geometries

- H. Wieman
- 3-Mar-2007

## Hit to Track association in the IST for several IST configurations

- Hit to track association probabilities where association is determined by minimizing weighted chi-square
- Assumed tracking projection error on IST2 using tracks from TPC + SSD
- For simple strips we can use both analytic and Monte Carlo results, they agree
- For pads plus strips Monte Carlo results include everything, but analytic expression misses some aspects of the problem and as a result under predicts the correct association

## Some additional details

- Analytic formula includes total uncertainty, tracking plus detector resolution
- Monte Carlo absorbs the detector resolution directly into the bin size of the strip
- Monte Carlo of pad plus strips uses multiple modules to avoid significant edge effects

- Both detector and tracking uncertainty

- Analytic formula

## Hit to Track association single strip

**Strip 1.9cm X 0.006 cm**

**Probability of correct hit to track association**

## Short strip system showing MC hits and tracks

## Track to Hit association, pads only 5 strips wide

**Units = cm**

**U+U central**

## Monte Carlo

**Pads only 5 strips wide**

**1 hit/cm****2**

## Track to Hit association wide pad geometry

**Pads 20 strips wide**

## Summary of Track to Hit Association

| Geometry | % correct association at
1.2 hits/cm2
U+U central hit density at 12 cm radius |
| --- | --- |
| Narrow pads on strips
Pads 5 strips wide | 93% |
| Short strips
1.9 cm long | 89% |
| Wide pads on strips
Pads 20 strips wide | 88% |
| Wider pads on strips
Pads 40 strips wide | 85% |
| Long strips
3.8 cm long | 80% |

## Conclusion

- Short strips look best from standpoint of hit association with tracks in the IST
- only very short strips perform slightly better on the IST hit association issue, but this is not a geometry that can be easily fabricated and it degrades pointing performance

## Long Strip case, 3.8cm by 0.006 cm strips

## Monte Carlo Wide pad geometry

## Freight Issues In Disaster Response

**Vince Pearce**
**National Response Program Manager**
**USDOT**

## Agenda

- Background
- Asset Tracking
- Security
- Regulations/Waivers
- Identification
- Delays

## Background

- ESF-1 under the NRP is responsible for providing transportation
- Other ESFs have their own transportation
- We have moved approximately 16,000 truckloads in response to Hurricane Katrina
- Sources have been all over the nation

## Asset Tracking

- Often requests are made under dire conditions
- Storage space is scarce in a disaster zone
- DHS is interested in a “just in time” logistics concept
- Knowing where every asset is becomes critical
- Loads may be “redirected” or may need to use alternate routes due to damage/debris/fuel issues
- That capability may need to operate without landline/cellular communication

## Security

- Localized lawlessness does occur in disaster zones
- Local authorities may “appropriate”
- Security applies to the operator, the power unit, the trailer, the load, and the staging area
- Security is an issue en route and at destination

## Regulations

- Regulation comes from multiple levels
- Federal
- State/Local
- Often operators are scarce, so extended  hours may be appropriate
- Often overloads are appropriate
- Use of untaxed fuel may be necessary
- Access to waivers is key
- Waivers may be needed far outside the disaster zone
- The Katrina waiver period is much longer than previously experienced; waivers must be maintained

## Identification

- Disaster response loads should receive appropriate treatment
- Many private sector haulers get involved
- Sometimes multiple levels of contracting occur
- During Katrina, a “FEMA letter” was provided to verify the mission
- A separate letter was provided to certify access to scarce fuel supplies

## Delays

- Disaster logistics is an inexact science
- Politics may outweigh expertise, resulting in complications and challenges
- Delays may result from processing time
- Delays may result from labor shortages
- Delays may result from routing problems
- Delays may result from lack of communication of key issues or information

## Conclusions

- Disaster response is:
- Somewhat like regular hauling
- Somewhat unlike regular hauling
- Flexibility is key
- Understanding the process is essential
- Communication makes it much easier to do
