Problem
Identify two threat sources-one adversarial and one non-adversarial-that could exploit a vulnerability at your school or workplace and would result in disruption of service. An adversarial event is the intentional exploitation of a vulnerability by criminal groups, terrorists, bot-net operators, or disgruntled employees. A non-adversarial event is the accidental exploit of a vulnerability, such as an undocumented process, a severe storm, or accidental or unintentional behavior.
For each (using your best judgment), answer the following questions:
1. What is the threat?
2. What is the threat source?
3. Is the source adversarial or non-adversarial?
4. What vulnerability could be exploited?
5. How likely is the threat source to be successful and why?
6. If the threat source is successful, what is the extent of the damage caused?
