The Shipboard Training in the selected Maritime Institution uses a distributed documentation partially manual process in monitoring the performance of the cadets that most likely causes the delay and inconsistency of reports. Their Department uses any Social Media Website in assessing/validating the reports on the performance of the cadets. The Department of Shipboard Training receives a summary of the report through Social Media Website. Technology nowadays is overwhelming that resulted to change faster from a stand-alone system to a web based technology which is capable of supporting almost all of the computerized transactions using an open source mobile applet and Content Management Systems. Most of the organizations have embraced technology and have developed exceptional online programs that provide easy access and massive communication. These maritime schools entirely take after the IMO model courses as proclaimed by the 1978 tradition on Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping for seafarers (STCW), as altered in 1995, and are the main ones permitted by our legislature to lead and regulate baccalaureate courses with 3-year scholastics in addition to 1 year managed shipboard apprenticeship for deck and engine cadets.

This chapter examines the main issues that have to be considered when selecting an open source content management system. It involves a discussion of literature and the experiences of the authors after installing and testing four widely used open source CMSs (Moodle, Drupal, Xoops, and Mambo) on a stand-alone desktop computer. It takes into consideration Arnold’s (2003) and Han’s (2004) suggestions for the development of CMSs, and identifies six criteria that need to be considered when selecting an open source CMS for use.

Los Sistemas de Gestión de Contenido Web (Web Content Management Systems, WCMS) han ganado mucha popularidad debido a la facilidad que aportan a la hora de crear páginas o portales web, sites de comercio electrónico, etc. En este trabajo se explica de forma resumida cómo es el manejo los WCMS y qué se puede lograr con su uso. Para ello, trabajaremos con tres de los más populares WCMS de tipo open-source empleados hoy en día, Joomla, Wordpress y Drupal, y veremos las ventajas e inconvenientes de trabajar con cada uno de ellos. Con este fin, crearemos tres web iguales en requisitos y funcionalidades, una con cada WCMS, y se analizará cualitativamente la complejidad de cada uno de ellos. Finalmente, realizaremos un análisis básico de seguridad de las webs creadas, informando de sus posibles vulnerabilidades, explicando cómo mejorar su seguridad, qué fallos no debemos cometer y qué WCMS es inicialmente más seguro/vulnerable.

Web-based applications are being increasingly used to share data and remote access. These applications form an integral part of the financial, education, and government sectors in most countries. The most important issue in web-based applications is maintaining basic principles of security: integrity, confidentiality and availability. Many web vulnerabilities have been identified and should be always considered by web-based applications developers and security professionals. Lack of vigilance in attending to these vulnerabilities may result in the software system being attacked by hackers and the most important asset of an organization, i.e., protected data, being compromised. This paper identifies a new type of web susceptibility termed remote installation vulnerability (RIV) which renders content management systems (CMS) and websites exploitable to cyber-attacks. A simple strategy is recommended to address this vulnerability.
