Journal Entry Week 11 - Wk starting March 23rd

Making last minute changes to the survey, also finished making duplicates of the webpage, so that there are 4 surveys in total, which means the results are more reliable. There are 4 since I've used latin square to shuffle the order of the sites so that the results will be from people who haven't all viewed the sites in the same order.

Journal Entry Week 10 - Wk starting March 16th

This week I made additional changes to the survey, adding a computer experience questionnaire which is based on the paper "The Computer Understanding and Experience Scale: a self-report measure of computer experience" by Denise Potoskya and Philip Bobkob.

In addition the images now have directions underneath the title to tell people what they are asked to do.

At the end of the questionnaire about the images I have added an additional page asking generic qustions such as whether they have heard of norsemantravel.com before, or whether they use booking sites. There is also a comment section where they can write what makes a website trustworthy in their opinion. After that page is the debrief page where I have explained the purpose of this study.

Journal Entry Week 9 - Wk starting March 9th

Now that the images are ready for putting into the survey, it's time to create the survey itself. Option one was creating it all from nothing, building the website and building the SQL database in the background. Option two was to use a survey application, which was the option I chose to go for. My survey is created using Google Forms, which is in turn embed into the main survey website.

This is the first survey site: http://teele.co.tkwcy.ee/hons1/

Thus far I have finished the disclaimer page, which requires the user to acknowledge that they are aware of what they are being asked to do and there is a designated button which says "I agree" without which they cannot proceed.

After the disclaimer page the user is directed to page 1, which asks them for their age group, their gender and whether they are a student or not.

Afterwards the user will go through each picture and provide answers to the questions asked at the bottom, such as how trustworthy they view the website, how attractive they view it and whether they would be likely to use the site to book a holiday.

Journal Entry Week 8 - Wk starting March 2nd

Decided to go for "http://norsemantravel.com/" as the basis of the phishing site.
This is the original site

I used WinHTTrack to mirror the website, then found where all the individual elements were being kept and saved originals of them. I decided to change three different elements which were .png files, the upper left logo, the main navigation bar and "Read more" button at the bottom. In addition I decided to change the box which contains the "Read more" button, this was changed through css.

In the end, 4 different versions of the site were made: two had cold colours (blue) and two had warm colours (orange/red), also the words "short breaks" were replaced by either "warm getaways" or "cool adventures", adding the words warm and cold (cool).

These are the ready made results:

cold-cold

cold-warm

warm-warm

warm-cold
