Penetration testing is an effort to attack a system using similar techniques and tools adopted by real hackers. The ultimate goal of penetration testing is to call to light as many existing vulnerabilities as possible, then come up with practical solutions to remediate the problems; thus, enhance the system security as a whole. The paper introduces concepts and definitions related to penetration testing, together with different models and methodologies to conduct a penetration test. A wide range of penetration testing state-of-the-art, as well as related tools (both commercial and free open source available on the market) are also presented in relatively rich details.

This paper analyzes a variety of Challenging Roles of Ethical Hacking employed in Cyber Security. The requirement for more viable requesting data security rehearses is progressively evident with every security encroaches revealed in the media. Ethical hacking set forward a target investigation of an association's data security bearing for associations of numerous phase of security capability. Programmers must output for shortcomings, test section focuses, needs targets, and build up a procedure that best use their assets. The reason for this sort of security appraisal directly affects the estimation of the entire assessment. More finished it is recognized that electronic devices are fundamental to forestall digital culprits hacking into online systems to contain their administrations and access secret information for uncalled for purposes. Ethical Hacking is capably required where approved programmers endeavor to penetrate a business' frameworks/arranges for the benefit of the proprietors with the goal of discovering security shortcomings. It give bits of knowledge into how Ethical Hacking, as Penetration Testing utilizing free open source devices, can be utilized by associations to secure their system's administrations/activities. Utilizing Nmap, Google Hacking, Nessus, Brutus and Acunetix .Thus measures were placed in to determine these vulnerabilities and dodge the delicate information from potential digital threats.

AbstractPlots and charts are graphical tools that make data intelligible and digestible by humans. But the oversimplification of data by only plotting the statistical summaries conflicts with the transparent communication of results. Therefore, plotting of all data is generally encouraged and this can be achieved by using a dotplot for discrete conditions. Dotplots, however, often fail to communicate whether the data are from different technical or biological replicates. The superplot has been proposed to improve the communication of experimental design and results. To simplify the plotting of data from discrete conditions as a superplot, the SuperPlotsOfData web app was generated. The tool offers easy and open access to state-of-the-art data visualization. In addition, it incorporates recent innovations in data visualization and analysis, including raindcloud plots and estimation statistics.

Therefore, plotting of all data is generally encouraged and this can be achieved by using a dotplot for discrete conditions. Dotplots, however, often fail to communicate whether the data are from different technical or biological replicates. The superplot has been proposed by Lord and colleagues (Lord et al., 2020) to improve the communication of experimental design and results.

To expand the tools available to arts researchers in psychology, we present the Open Gallery for Arts Research (OGAR), a free, open-source tool for studying visitor behavior within an online gallery environment. OGAR is highly extensible, allowing researchers to modify the environment to test different hypotheses, and it affords assessing a wide range of outcome variables. After describing the tool and its development, we present a proof-of-concept study that evaluates OGAR’s usability and performance and illustrates some ways that it can be used to study the psychology of virtual visits. With a sample of 44 adults from an online participant panel who freely explored OGAR, we observed that OGAR had good usability based on high scores on the System Usability Scale and rare instances of self-reported nausea, among other usability markers. Furthermore, using position and viewing data provided by OGAR, we found that participants navigated the gallery and interacted with the artwork in predictable and coherent ways that resembled visitor behavior in real-world art museums. OGAR appears to be a useful tool for researchers and art professionals interested in how people navigate and experience virtual and real art spaces.

Background: Pharmacobezoars are specific types of bezoars formed when medicines, such as tablets, suspensions, and/or drug delivery systems, aggregate and may cause death by occluding airways with tenacious material or by eluting drugs resulting in toxic or lethal blood concentrations. Objective: This work aims to fully review the state-of-the-art regarding pathophysiology, diagnosis, treatment and other relevant clinical and forensic features of pharmacobezoars. Results: patients of a wide range of ages and in both sexes present with signs and symptoms of intoxications or more commonly gastrointestinal obstructions. The exact mechanisms of pharmacobezoar formation are unknown but is likely multifactorial. The diagnosis and treatment depend on the gastrointestinal segment affected and should be personalized to the medication and the underlying factor. A good and complete history, physical examination, image tests, upper endoscopy and surgery through laparotomy of the lower tract are useful for diagnosis and treatment. Conclusion: Pharmacobezoars are rarely seen in clinical and forensic practice. They are related to controlled or immediate-release formulations, liquid or non-digestible substances, in normal or altered digestive motility/anatomy tract, and in overdoses or therapeutic doses, and should be suspected in the presence of risk factors or patients taking drugs which may form pharmacobezoars.
