use Netbeans to create two different unique and complete demonstrations of Risky Resource Management such as Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input, Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory, Download of Code Without Integrity Check, and Inclusion of Functionality from Untrusted Control Sphere. You will demonstrate and describe how to fix each of the problems. Therefore a total of four code samples will be created. Two will Risky Resource Management and two will have the issues fixed.
Using Netbeans, create your own unique, full example for each of the 2 vulnerabilities in this
category. Note: by unique and full I mean, this should not just be a code snippet. It should be
part of a small application. In other words, you need to adapt the examples provided in the
documentation to something more meaningful and substantive. It doesn’t have to be a large,
overly complex application, but it needs to be complete, and runnable and demonstrate how
this vulnerability may appear in the real world.
3. Demonstrate for each of the two applications they are vulnerable to this attack. You need to
show explicitly the attack you use and demonstrate the impact of the vulnerability. The
demonstration should occur through screen shots and detailed walkthrough of the steps you
performed.
4. Finally, using the information in the CWE/SANS Top 25 vulnerabilities, fix the issues in each of
the two examples you created in step 2.
5. Document the vulnerabilities and describe specifically how the issues were corrected. Note: You
may need to conduct additional research to better understand the vulnerability or the features
associated with a specific language.

Deliverables
Provide all of your source files for this assignment. Two source code files will have software
vulnerabilities. The remaining two will have the issues fixed. Provide any supplemental or utility
files supporting your main source files.
Prepare a word or PDF file describing and demonstrating the vulnerabilities in each of your source
files and specifically how you fixed the issue. You should demonstrate with screen shots and code
within the document to report your findings. Note: Be sure to provide all screen shots in one word
of PDF document. You can compress the files using a zip application for easier upload.
