Question 1

Rebound Security (http://reboundsecurity.info) is a local company that makes a data-loss prevention appliance (Rebound_DLP) that your company has used for years to protect its data from unauthorized exfiltration.

The appliance is reporting a large spike in UNKNOWN outbound data every day at 2 PM.

It can be modeled using the following function where x is minutes, and k(x) is outbound data record counts:

k (x) = 3^x2+ 35x + 2

1. Plot the outbound data function for a period of 10 minutes.
2. At what time does the data exfiltration rate peak?
3. At what time does the data exfiltration end?

Question 2

You will need the pharmterms.csv file from for your analysis. This file contains a table recording the top 32 search results from Google and Bing for 218 drug-related search queries collected over two weeks in November 2011.

Each row in the table corresponds to one search result, including the date, search engine, search term, position in the search results (1-32), the URL, second-level domain, whether the result redirected to an illicit pharmacy (True/False), and the top-level domain for the result (.COM, .EDU, .ORG, .GOV, .NET, or other).

1. What percentage of search results redirect to illicit pharmacies on Google?
2. What percentage of search results redirect to illicit pharmacies on Bing?
3. Which top-level domain (TLD) has the most TOTAL redirects?
4. Which top-level domain (TLD) has the least TOTAL redirects?
5. What is the main factor driving the fact that one TLD has more TOTAL redirects?
