Scenario:
A recent cyber attack occurred where a botnet type attack targeted a major US defense firm. No physical damage occurred to the firms network, but significant technological secrets about a new surveillance and targeting system from the firm, Defense Applications International (DAI), appear to have been compromised. Incidental, but nonetheless as a result of the attack, the virus also infected a software program that DAI was testing at electrical plant in Pennsylvania. The plant had to be shut down for 12 hours while repairs were made. The NSA believes it has credible evidence that the attack had a direct connection to the elite cyber unit Department 2112, of the country of Redistan, an adversary of the United States, although the attack itself appears to include private citizens of Redistan. The attack, however, was routed through several third countries including Bluelandia, an ally of the United States.

Write a pseudocode solution for each of these problems.
1.    Design a While loop that lets that user enter a number. The number should be multiplied by 10, and the result stored in a variable named product.  The loop should iterate as long as product contains a value less than 100.

2.    Design a Do-While loop that asks the user to enter two numbers.  The numbers should be added and the sum displayed.  The loop should ask the user whether he or she wishes to perform the operation again.  If so, the loop should repeat; otherwise it should terminate.

3.    Design a For loop that displays the following set of numbers:  0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 ..... 100.

4.    Design a nested loop that displays 10 rows of # characters. There should be 15 # characters in each row.

5.    Convert this For loop to a While loop.

Project 1: Rules of Engagement
Instructions

The first deliverable of the Penetration Test Proposal is the rules of engagement (ROE) document, a formal one to two page document that outlines the objectives, scope, methodology, and overall test plan agreed upon by the penetration testers and client system administrators. Penetration testing can cause complications such as network traffic congestion, system downtime, and may cause the same vulnerabilities and compromises it was designed to prevent. Due to the potential consequences of penetration testing, it is vital to agree upon a comprehensive ROE before testing.

For your ROE deliverable, consider the following:
    How will you identify Haverbrook Investment Group's [attached] network characteristics, expectations, constraints, critical systems, and other relevant information?
    What are your preliminary engagement activities with regard to scheduling, scope, and key stakeholders?

Basically just states what the paper is about Body: 90% of the paper's length. Facts. Just facts. No opinions. This is where you discuss the issue in the context of research. Most, if not all of your citations end up here. Conclusion/recommendation: This is where you
