Full-disk encryption is routinely used in the criminal world. Forensic evidence stored on encrypted disks can be only accessed if one can produce the original encryption password. The ability to analyze evidence stored on encrypted disks becomes essential when performing digital investigations. We built the complete set of tools to enable forensic experts run hardware-accelerated distributed attacks on passwords protecting encrypted disks and disk images created by BitLocker, LUKS, PGP, TrueCrypt/VeraCrypt, FileVault 2, and now BestCrypt.
BestCrypt is extremely secure and tough to break. As an additional security measure, its developers utilized a method to prevent hardware-assisted attacks by requiring large amounts of memory that none of the current generation of video cards have. This method ruled out GPU acceleration, making the attacks CPU only. Because of that, the password recovery speeds for the new format are extremely slow. Successful recovery relies on simple passwords and the human factor.
Our tools feature a wide range of attacks targeting the human factor. The attacks range from the simplest dictionary attacks to masks and automated mutations. The most advanced attacks can combine words from up to two dictionaries with a scriptable syntax for producing password variations based on the rules. In addition, the attack can be launched on up to 10,000 computers with flexible management.
One uses Elcomsoft Distributed Password Recovery to attack the original user password. However, to launch the attack, one must first extract encryption metadata. Elcomsoft Forensic Disk Decryptor can extract encryption metadata from encrypted BestCrypt volumes when analyzing live systems, while Elcomsoft System Recovery can detect encrypted volumes and extract encryption metadata when starting the PC from a USB boot media. The free tool Elcomsoft Encrypted Disk Hunter will detect BestCrypt volumes when analyzing live systems.
With approximately 4.42 million registered nurses (RNs) and over 700,000 licensed nurse practitioners (LPNs), the nursing profession continues to flourish. Nursing statistics show that diversity is increasing within the profession, and the demand for nurses in a wide variety of settings is surging. Salaries are increasing in the field as well.
Sponsored by the American Nurses Association (ANA), Nurses Month is an annual event recognizing nurses for their tremendous effort and compassion, as they work collectively to improve the health of individuals, families, and communities nationwide. This year, their theme is as evergreen as it is prescient: Nurses Make A Difference. As we celebrate the undeniable positive impact that nurses make, let's take a look at the ways that the nursing profession is growing and expanding to serve more people than ever.
Current trends in nursing reveal an aging workforce that is slowly but steadily increasing in equality among two underrepresented groups in nursing: men and people of color. Nurses who are 65 years of age or older comprise the largest age category in the profession and represented 19% of the RN workforce, according to the 2020 National Nurse Workforce Study. That's up from 14.6% of nurses over 65 measured in 2017 and 4.4% measured in 2013.
The demand for registered nurses (RNs) and family nurse practitioners (FNPs) remains high for several reasons. The aging population has a twofold effect on the nursing profession as both nurses and the patients they care for are growing older. Many nurses are nearing retirement age, and many patients are facing increased health care needs. Worldwide, 4.7 million nurses are expected to retire by 2030. When combined with the existing nursing shortage and aging Baby Boomer population, that results in the need for 10.6 million new nurses by 2030, according to a report compiled by the International Centre for Nurse Migration.
In the United States, the BLS projects that there will be about 203,200 openings for registered nurses every year through 2031 as nurses retire and patient demand increases. That represents a 6% growth rate in registered nursing jobs by 2031.
As positive as the employment potential for registered nurses looks, the BLS predicts that demand for nurse practitioners (NPs) will be remarkably higher. They project an overall employment increase of 40% between the years 2021 and 2031, which is much faster than average for other occupations. The BLS attributes this growth to:
Typical salaries vary depending on the geographic location and facility in which a nurse is employed, but the overall national picture is encouraging. The BLS reported a 2021 median annual income for RNs of $77,600.
In a 2021 survey of RNs, 81% of nurses said they were satisfied with their jobs. While the COVID-19 pandemic increased rates of nurses feeling burned out or emotionally drained, 66% said they planned to remain at their current jobs, which is actually an increase from the 2019 statistic of 64%.
Nurse practitioners also enjoy high levels of job satisfaction. Improved work/life balance, increased autonomy as a caregiver, and increased earnings are just a few of the reasons many NPs love their jobs. U.S. News & World Report ranks the profession as #1 in Best Health Care Jobs and #2 in the 100 Best Jobs overall. Upward mobility is also above average, with career advancements and possibilities for salary increases creating a wide array of opportunities.
Nurses are deeply trusted because they serve as both confidantes and liaisons between doctors and family members. This level of professional respect, combined with the fact that nurses have dedicated their lives to helping others, make the profession difficult to surpass in integrity, especially during a pandemic and pandemic recovery.
Nurses serve as both the frontline and backbone of quality patient care. With the arrival of National Nurses Month, the staff and faculty at Carson-Newman University thank everyone who has dedicated their career to nursing and continues to touch lives with compassion.
