In the SSH terminal, capture and log packets in binary format by typing /usr/local/bin/snort -b -L /home/student/BinCapture (Note: If the log file is not specified, Snort will create binary logs in /var/log/snort with the name snort.log.[timestamp].) 2. Wait no shorter than 10 seconds and press Ctrl-C to stop sniffing. 3. Check the names of the generated file by typing ls /home/student 4. The binary log file name looks like this: BinCapture.1160008555, in which 1160008555 is the timestamp. Your log file should have a different timestamp. 5. You can read the binary log file using Wireshark or Tcpdump. Type /usr/sbin/tcpdump -r BinCapture.[timestamp] 6. Record the last

The author believes advances in technology are poised tomake huge differences in the way we teach and the way students learn. Future work willinclude implementation of such tools in courses taught and comparative assessment ofstudent learning outcomes.References1. Novak, J. D.; Cañas, A. J.

. Fullyexploiting the power of these systems, however, is a significant challenge. We are developing ahigh performance computing and cyberinfrastructure signature area, and as part of this effort,working to develop a flexible world-class laboratory that can be used for both research andeducation. The goals of this effort are to: (a) educate a cohort of students from backgrounds incomputing and the domain sciences in the development, deployment, and use of highperformance computing and cyberinfrastructure systems; (b) establish a research facility tosupport discovery in high performance computing, cyberinfrastructure, and bioinformaticsamong a group of faculty and graduate students; and (c) seek new ways to effectively andefficiently share and leverage

In Week 3, groups make a presentation about their project’sresearch question and goals to the rest of the groups, citing major milestones and an anticipatedschedule. The project culminates in a five-page research paper, a poster presentation, and atechnology demo. Students present their posters and demos at a campus-wide REU ResearchSymposium.

systematic use of technology actually helpsinstructors address perceptual dimensions of learning. Technology should not beviewed just as a growing trend; rather it must be intelligently implemented as avaluable instructional tool that can accommodate diverse learning styles of 21stcentury students. (Watkins, 2005). It is important to acknowledge that studentslearn better when alternative modes of information processing are made availableat college campuses. Dr. Walter B.

Educatorsneed to prepare their students for the parallel era.IntroductionA fundamental technique by which computations can be accelerated is parallel computation. Themain reason for executing program instructions in parallel is to complete a computation faster.However, majority of programs today are incapable of much improvement through parallelism,since they have written assuming that instructions would be executed sequentially1.
