Please create a professional looking footprinting report using the following model:

2.  Detailed Content About the Target Organization: Answer the questions about the target organization in detail.  This may be in bullet or numbered list format.
3.  Conclusion: Summarize your conclusions about how the company might be vulnerable to penetration or social engineering.

Who was Aaron Swartz?

Why do we care?

What are the moral stakes, or ethical issues, associated with his situation?

Answer the above questions in a comment on this post, please.  This should involve at least two paragraphs--at least one on who he was and why we care, including a link for reference, and at least one more on the moral stakes.  First commenter: you're all set if you just follow the above instructions!  Subsequent commenters: in addition to the above instructions, engage in some way with the ideas of the comments that preceded yours.  Disagree, agree, build on the ideas, etc.

Please do this before we meet again--so, before Tuesday.

Good luck!
