The years accompanying entrance into the university system are often characterized by a period of great transformation. These years can also be wrought with difficulties for many students, difficulties which are often compounded in students with disabilities (SWD). Reports from the U.S. Department of Education show that as recently as 2015--16, 19% of undergraduate students experienced some form of disability1. Additionally, statistics show that SWD tend to have lower post secondary completion rates than their counterparts [3]. A review of pertinent literature has shown that there still exist gaps within the field of computing education (CE) for teaching cybersecurity concepts …

There are currently over one billion people living with some form of disability worldwide. The continuous increase in new technologies in today's society comes with an increased risk in security. A fundamental knowledge of cybersecurity should be a basic right available to all users of technology. A review of literature in the fields of cybersecurity, STEM, and computer science (CS) has revealed existent gaps regarding educational methods for teaching cybersecurity to students with disabilities (SWD's). To date, SWD's are largely left without equitable access to cybersecurity education. Our goal is to identify current educational methods being used to teach SWD's …

In the 21st century, cyber-based attackers such as advance persistent threats are leveraging bots in the form of botnets to conduct a plethora of cyber-attacks. While there are several social engineering techniques used to get targets to unknowingly download these bots, it is the command-and-control techniques advance persistent threats use to control their bots that is of critical interest to the author. In this research paper, the author aims to develop a command-and-control microservice application programming interface infrastructure to facilitate botnet command-and-control attack simulations. To achieve this the author will develop a simple bot skeletal framework, utilize the latest …
