Exploitation is an activity carried out to gain benefits by harming others arbitrarily without responsibility. Exploitation is a threat in the field of Cyber Security that not only poses risks but also jeopardizes an individual's security and privacy. According to data from the Institute of Internal Auditors, financial losses due to cybercrime exploitation worldwide reached 8 trillion US dollars in 2023. In Cyber Security, one exploitation technique involves using Remote Access methods to take over access rights and enable remote system control. Based on this issue, the author conducts research on Remote Access using three different target models based on the Windows operating system. These three targets will demonstrate how vulnerabilities in an operating system can be exploited to gain Remote Access. The method for testing Remote Access involves identifying the vulnerabilities available in the target system. The study employs three techniques: exploiting the ms17-010 vulnerability, utilizing the SmbGhost vulnerability, and using a backdoor. The results show that all three approaches successfully penetrated the target system and made modifications.

This study evaluates the impact of an AI-driven nutritional monitoring system in hospital settings, focusing on its effectiveness in reducing food waste and improving the accuracy of dietary assessments. Traditional food waste management and nutritional tracking methods in hospitals often suffer from inefficiencies, inaccuracies, and time constraints. In contrast, the AI-based system utilizes advanced technologies, including 3D scanners, digital scales, and image recognition, to optimize food production, minimize waste, and provide more accurate and timely nutritional assessments. The results of this study show a 31% reduction in food waste and a 40% improvement in the accuracy of nutritional assessments after implementing the AI system. This system enhances meal planning, portion control, and real-time tracking of food intake, offering personalized recommendations based on patient needs. The AI system also streamlines the nutritional assessment process, reducing labor-intensive procedures and providing real-time feedback to clinicians, which helps improve patient care and reduce errors associated with traditional methods. Furthermore, the environmental and financial implications of adopting AI technologies in healthcare are significant. The reduction in food waste not only helps lower hospital costs but also contributes to sustainability goals by reducing resource consumption, including water, land, and energy. This study underscores the potential of AI-driven systems to improve healthcare operations, support sustainability, and enhance patient outcomes. Future research should focus on expanding the application of AI in other healthcare sectors and further exploring its integration with other technologies for comprehensive healthcare solutions.
