A function prototype can always be omitted when: A function is defined before it is first invoked. A function does not return a value. A function is invoked before it is first defined. A function takes no arguments.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A function is defined before it is first invoked.

Explanation:

A function prototype is a term in computer programming that is used as the declaration of a function that specifies function's name, parameters and return type. However, unlike function itself, which specifies what it does, a function prototype specifies function's interface only and not what it does.

Hence, A function prototype can always be omitted when: a function is defined before it is first invoked.

Why is a DNS cache poisoning attack dangerous? Check all that apply. A. Errrr...it's not actually dangerous. B. It allows an attacker to redirect targets to malicious webservers. C. It allows an attacker to remotely controle your computer. D. It affects any clients querying the poisoned DNS server.

Answers

Answer:

(B) It allows an attacker to redirect targets to malicious webserver.

(D) It affects any clients querying the poisoned DNS server.

Explanation:

DNS cache poisoning is a serious type of attack that is designed to exploit the vulnerabilities inherent in a Domain Name Server (DNS) where a user is redirected from a real server to a fake one. It is also called DNS spoofing.

Normally, when your browser tries to visits a website through a given domain name, it goes through the DNS server. A DNS server maintains a list of domain names and their equivalent Internet Protocol addresses. This server (DNS) then responds to the request with one or more IP addresses for the browser to reach the website through the domain name.

The computer browser then get to the intended website through the IP address.

Now, if the DNS cache is poisoned, then it has a wrong entry for IP addresses. This might be via hacking or a physical access to the DNS server to modify the stored information on it. Therefore, rather than responding with the real IP address, the DNS replies with a wrong IP address which then redirects the user to an unreal website.

Although they might not be able to control your computer remotely as long as you are not trying to visit a web page via the poisoned information, there are other dangers attached to this type of attack.

Once the DNS server has been poisoned, any client trying to query the server will also be affected since there is no direct way of knowing if the information received from the server is actually correct.

A company wants a recruiting app that models candidates and interviews; displays the total number of interviews on each candidate record; and defines security on interview records that is independent from the security on candidate records. What would a developer do to accomplish this task? Choose 2 answers


a. Create a roll -up summary field on the Candidate object that counts Interview records.

b. Create a master -detail relationship between the Candidate and Interview objects.

c. Create a lookup relationship between the Candidate and Interview objects.

d. Create a trigger on the Interview object that updates a field on the Candidate object.

Answers

Answer:

c. Create a lookup relationship between the Candidate and Interview objects.

d. Create a trigger on the Interview object that updates a field on the Candidate object.

Explanation:

Objects relationships is considered a form of field type that joins two or more objects together such that, after understanding objects and fields, it creates some form of bonding known as object relationships. This helps define security on interview records that is independent from the security on candidate records.

For an example, in a standard object like Account, where a sales representative opens an account, and has had interviews or chats with a few people at that account’s company, and as well made contacts with the likes of executives or IT managers and still stored those contacts’ information in salesforce.

Hence, what would a developer do to accomplish this task is to:

1. Create a lookup relationship between the Candidate and Interview objects.

2. Create a trigger on the Interview object that updates a field on the Candidate object.

Answer:

Following are the code to this question:

def after_second(s,sub):#defining a method a fter_second

   first = s.find(sub)#defining a variable first that hold method find value

   if first != -1:#defining if block to check first variable value not equal to -1 using slicing  

       s = s[len(sub)+first:]#defining s variable to calculate sub parameter length of parameter and use slicing

       second = s.find(sub)#defining second variable to calculate find method value  

   if second != -1:#defining if block to calculate second variable slicing

print(after_second("heyyoheyhi","hey"))#defining print method to call after_second method

print(after_second("11223344554321","3"))#defining print method to call after_second method

Output:

hi

44554321

Explanation:

In the above python code a method "after_second" is declared, that accepts two-variable "s, and sub" as the parameter inside the method a first variable is declared that uses the inbuilt method "find" to find the value and stores it value. In the next step, two if blocks are used, in which both if blocks use the slicing to checks its value is not equal to "-1".

In the first, if block the first variable is declared that uses the s variable to calculate subparameter length by using slicing and defines the second variable that finds its value and stores its value. In the next, if block the s variable is used to return its calculated value, and at the end of the print, the method is used to call the method by passing parameter value and prints its return value.

A large population of ALOHA users manages to generate 50 requests/sec, including both originals and retransmissions. Time is slotted in units of 40 msec.

Required:
a. What is the chance of success on the first attempt?
b. What is the probability of exactly k collisions and then a success?
c. What is the expected number of transmission attempts needed?

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Given that:

Frame transmission time (X) = 40 ms

Requests = 50 requests/sec, Therefore the arrival rate for frame (G) = 50 request * 40 ms = 2 request

a) Probability that there is success on the first attempt = [tex]e^{-G}G^k[/tex] but k = 0, therefore Probability that there is success on the first attempt = [tex]e^{-G}=e^{-2}=0.135[/tex]

b) probability of exactly k collisions and then a success = P(collisions in k attempts) × P(success in k+1 attempt)

P(collisions in k attempts) = [1-Probability that there is success on the first attempt]^k = [tex][1-e^{-G}]^k=[1-0.135]^k=0.865^k[/tex]

P(success in k+1 attempt) = [tex]e^{-G}=e^{-2}=0.135[/tex]

Probability of exactly k collisions and then a success = [tex]0.865^k0.135[/tex]

c) Expected number of transmission attempts needed = probability of success in k transmission = [tex]e^{G}=e^{2}=7.389[/tex]

"The ______ code of a rootkit gets the rootkit installation started and can be activated by clicking on a link to a malicious Web site in an email or opening an infected PDF file."

Answers

Answer:

Dropper.

Explanation:

A rootkit can be defined as a collection of hidden malicious computer software applications that gives a hacker, attacker or threat actor unauthorized access to parts of a computer and installed software. Some examples of rootkits are trojan, virus, worm etc.

The dropper code of a rootkit gets the rootkit installation started and can be activated by clicking on a link to a malicious website in an email or opening an infected PDF file such as phishing.

Hence, the dropper code of a rootkit launches and installs the loader program and eventually deletes itself, so it becomes hidden and not be noticed by the owner of the computer.

A rootkit can affect the performance of a computer negatively causing it to run slowly.

Consider a system consisting of m resources of the same type, being shared by n processes. Resources can be requested and released by processes only one at a time. Show that the system is deadlock free if the following two conditions hold:__________.
A. The maximum need of each process is between 1 and m resources
B. The sum of all maximum needs is less than m+n.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

The system will be deadlock free if the below two conditions holds :

Proof below:

Suppose N = Summation of all Need(i), A = Addition of all Allocation(i), M = Addition of all Max(i). Use contradiction to prove.

Suppose this system isn't deadlock free. If a deadlock state exists, then A = m due to the fact that there's only one kind of resource and resources can be requested and released only one at a time.

Condition B, N + A equals M < m + n. Equals N + m < m + n. And we get N < n. It means that at least one process i that Need(i) = 0.

Condition A, Pi can let out at least 1 resource. So there will be n-1 processes sharing m resources now, Condition a and b still hold. In respect to the argument, No process will wait forever or permanently, so there's no deadlock.

The main method starts here

int main() {

The next two lines gives an info about the program

   float miles;

   char response;

This line prompts user for number of miles

   cout<<"How many miles did you walk?. ";

This line calls the function that converts miles to feet and prints the feet equivalent of miles

   cout<<"You walked "<<convert(miles)<<" feet"<<endl;

This line prompts user for another conversion

   cout<<"Continue? (y/n): ";

   cin>>response;

This is an iteration that repeats its execution as long as user continue input y as response

Assuming a Stop-and-Wait system, if the bandwidth-delay product of a channel is 500 Mbps and 1 bit takes 25 milliseconds to make the roundtrip, what is the bandwidth-delay product? If the data packets are 2500 bits in length, what is the utilization?

Answers

Answer:

Bandwidth delay product = 2500 Kbits

Utilization = 0.02%

Explanation:

We proceed as follows;

From the question, we are given that

band width = 500 Mbps

The bandwidth-delay product is = 500 x 10^6 x 25 x 10^-3

= 2500 Kbits

The system can send 12500 Kbits during the time it takes for the data to go from the sender to the receiver and then back again.

However, the system sends only 2500 bits.

The the link utilization =

2500/(12500 x 10^3) = 0.02%

Answers

Answer:

I am writing a Python program. Let me know if you want the program in some other programming language.        

import string  #to use string related functions

def wordcount(filename):  # function that takes a text file name as parameter and returns the number of occurrences of every word in file

   file = open(filename, "r")  # open the file in read mode

   wc = dict()  # creates a dictionary

   for sentence in file:  # loop through each line of the file

       sentence = sentence.strip()  #returns the text, removing empty spaces

       sentence=sentence.lower() #converts each line to lowercase to avoid case sensitivity

       sentence = sentence.translate(sentence.maketrans("", "", string.punctuation))  #removes punctuation from every line of the text file

       words = sentence.split(" ")  # split the lines into a list of words

       for word in words:  #loops through each word of the file

           if len(word)>2:  #checks if the length of the word is greater than 2

               if word in wc:  # if the word is already in dictionary

                   wc[word] = wc[word] + 1  #if the word is already present in dict wc then add 1 to the count of that word

               else:  #if the word is not already present

                   wc[word] = 1  # word is added to the wc dict and assign 1 to the count of that word                

   for w in list(wc.keys()):  #prints the list of words and their number of occurrences

       print(w, wc[w])  #prints word: occurrences in key:value format of dict        

wordcount("file.txt") #calls wordcount method and passes name of the file to that method

Explanation:

The program has a function wordcount that takes the name of a text file (filename) as parameter.

open() method is used to open the file in read mode. "r" represents the mode and it means read mode. Then a dictionary is created and named as wc. The first for loop, iterates through each line (sentence) of the text file. strip() method is used to remove extra empty spaces or new line character from each sentence of the file, then each sentence is converted to lower case using lower() method to avoid case sensitivity. Now the words "hello" and "Hello" are treated as the same word.

sentence = sentence.translate(sentence.maketrans("", "", string.punctuation))  statement uses two methods i.e. maketrans() and translate(). maketrans() specifies the punctuation characters that are to be deleted from the sentences and returns a translation table. translate() method uses the table that maketrans() returns in order to replace a character to its mapped character and returns the lines of text file after performing these translations.

Next the split() method is used to break these sentences into a list of words. Second for loop iterates through each word of the text file. As its given to ignore words of length 2 or less, so an IF statement is used to check if the length of word is greater than 2. If this statement evaluates to true then next statement: if word in wc:   is executed which checks if the word is already present in dictionary. If this statement evaluates to true then 1 is added to the count of that word. If the word is not already present  then the word is added to the wc dictionary and 1 s assigned to the count of that word.

Next the words along with their occurrences is printed. The program and its output are attached as screenshot. Since the frankenstein.txt' is not provided so I am using my own text file.

1. Two TCP entities communicate across a reliable network. Let the normalized time to transmit a fixed length segment equal 1. Assume that the end-to-end propagation delay is 3 and that it takes 2 to deliver data from a received segment to the transport user. The receiver initially grants a credit of 7 segments. The receiver uses a conservative flow control policy and updates its credit allocation at every opportunity. What is the maximum achievable throughput

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "0.77"

Explanation:

The fixed-length segment value = 1  

The propagation time of one end to another end is = 3  

The Transfer power to move the consumer from the obtained segment = 2  

The second last sender assigns a loan = 7 segments  

The overall transmission time = 3+2+3   =  8  

The maximum throughput value is:

Answers

Answer:

Here is the python method:

def is_power(n1, n2): # function that takes two positive integers n1 and n2 as arguments

   if(not n1>0 and not n2>0): #if n1 and n2 are not positive integers

       print("The number is not a positive integer so:") # print this message if n1 and n2 are negative

       return None # returns none when value of n1 and n2 is negative.

   elif n1 == n2: #first base case: if both the numbers are equal

       return True #returns True if n1=n2

   elif n2==1: #second base case: if the value of n2 is equal to 1

       return False #returns False if n2==1

   else: #recursive step

       return is_divisible(n1, n2) and is_power(n1/n2, n2) #call divisible method and is_power method recursively to determine if the number is the power of another

Explanation:

Here is the complete program.

def is_divisible(a, b):

   if a % b == 0:

       return True

   else:

       return False

def is_power(n1, n2):

   if(not n1>0 and not n2>0):

       print("The number is not a positive integer so:")  

       return None  

   elif n1 == n2:

       return True

   elif n2==1:

       return False

   else:

       return is_divisible(n1, n2) and is_power(n1/n2, n2)  

print("is_power(10, 2) returns: ", is_power(10, 2))

print("is_power(27, 3) returns: ", is_power(27, 3))

print("is_power(1, 1) returns: ", is_power(1, 1))

print("is_power(10, 1) returns: ", is_power(10, 1))

print("is_power(3, 3) returns: ", is_power(3, 3))

print("is_power(-10, -1) returns: ", is_power(-10, -1))  

The first method is is_divisible method that takes two numbers a and b as arguments. It checks whether a number a is completely divisible by number b. The % modulo operator is used to find the remainder of the division. If the remainder of the division is 0 it means that the number a is completely divisible by b otherwise it is not completely divisible. The method returns True if the result of a%b is 0 otherwise returns False.

The second method is is_power() that takes two numbers n1 and n2 as arguments. The if(not n1>0 and not n2>0) if statement checks if these numbers i.e. n1 and n2 are positive or not. If these numbers are not positive then the program prints the message: The number is not a positive integer so. After displaying this message the program returns None instead of True of False because of negative values of n1 and n2.

If the values of n1 and n2 are positive integers then the program checks its first base case: n1 == n2. Suppose the value of n1 = 1 and n2 =1 Then n1 is a  power of n2 if both of them are equal. So this returns True if both n1 and n2 are equal.

Now the program checks its second base case n2 == 1. Lets say n1 is 10 and n2 is 1 Then the function returns False because there is no positive integer that is the power of 1 except 1 itself.

Now the recursive case return is_divisible(n1, n2) and is_power(n1/n2, n2)  calls is_divisible() method and is_power method is called recursively in this statement. For example if n1 is 27 and n2 is 3 then this statement:

is_divisible(n1, n2) returns True because 27 is completely divisible by 3 i.e. 27 % 3 = 0

is_power(n1/n2,n2) is called. This method will be called recursively until the base condition is reached. You can see it has two arguments n1/n2 and n2. n1/n2 = 27/3 = 9 So this becomes is_power(9,3)

The base cases are checked. Now this else statement is again executed  return is_divisible(n1, n2) and is_power(n1/n2, n2) as none of the above base cases is evaluated to true. when is_divisible() returns True as 9 is completely divisible by 3 i.e. 9%3 =0 and is_power returns (9/3,3) which is (3,3). So this becomes is_power(3,3)

Now as value of n1 becomes 3 and value of n2 becomes 3. So the first base case elif n1 == n2: condition now evaluates to true as 3=3. So it returns True. Hence the result of this statement print("is_power(10, 2) returns: ", is_power(10, 2))  is:                                                                                                

is_power(27, 3) returns:  True

Following are the program to the given question:

Program Explanation:

Defining a method "is_divisible" that takes two variable "a,b" inside the parameter.Usinge the return keyword that modulas parameter value and checks its value equal to 0, and return its value.In the next step, another method "is_power" is declared that takes two parameter "a,b".Inside the method, a conditional statement is declared, in which three if block is used. Inside the two if block it checks "a, b"  value that is "odd number" and return bool value that is "True, False".In the last, if block is used checks "is_power" method value, and use multiple print method to call and prints its value.      

Program:

def is_divisible(a, b):#defining a method is_divisible that takes two parameters

   return a % b == 0#using return keyword that modulas parameter value and checks its value equal to 0

       return True#return value True

   if b ==  1:#defining if block that checks b value equal to 1  or check odd number condition

       return False#return value False

   if not is_divisible(a, b):#defining if block that check method is_divisible value

       return False##return value False

   return is_power(a/b, b)#using return keyword calls and return is_power method

A security administrator is investigating a report that a user is receiving suspicious emails. The user's machine has an old functioning modem installed. Which of the following security concerns need to be identified and mitigated? (Select TWO).
a) Vishing
b) Whaling
c) Spear phishing
d) Pharming
e) War dialing
f) Hoaxing

Answers

Answer:

Spear Phishing and War Dialing

Explanation:

So let's tackle these one at a time.

Vishing is simply any type of message (i.e., email, text, phone call, etc.) that appears to be from a trusted source but is not.

Whaling is simply a spear phishing attack of a high-value target such as a CEO or someone with high-level access at a company.

Spear phishing is simply a targeted phishing attack, usually towards a specific person or group of people.  (Phishing attack is simply a social attack to try and gain unauthorized access to a resource).

Pharming is an attack that attempts to redirect website traffic to a fake site.

War dialing is a technique to automatically scan a list of numbers in an area in attempt to search for exposed modems, computers, board systems, or fax machines, in order to breach the network.

Hoaxing is simply a social attack that describes a serious threat in attempts to retrieve unauthorized access or money from a victim.  (Think microsoft tech support scams)

Now that we have defined these things, let's identify the possible threats that need to be reported.

(a) Vishing?  The sec admin report doesn't mention the source of the message so we cannot associate this one

(b) Whaling? The sec admin report says a user, implying someone not high up in the company, but doesn't say it's not someone high up.  This is possible.

(c) Spear phishing?  The sec admin report says a user, implying that only this user is being targeted so this is definitely valid.

(d) Pharming?  The sec admin report says nothing about site redirection.

(e) War dialing? The sec admin report doesn't say anything about unauthorized scanning; however, it mentions the user has an old functioning modem, so this is possible.

(f) Hoaxing?  The sec admin report doesn't mention a pop up in the email or the content of the email so we are uncertain.

Thus with these considerations, the two threats that are identified and need mitigation are Spear phishing and War Dialing/Whaling.  Note that we aren't positive of the war dialing or whaling, but a case could be made for either; however, given the modem information, the question seems to indicate war dialing.

Velma is graduating from Ashford at the end of next year. After she completes her final class, she will reward herself for her hard work with a week-long vacation in Hawaii. But she wants to begin saving money for her trip now. Which of the following is the most effective way for Velma to save money each month?

Answers

This question is incomplete because the options are missing; here are the options for this question:

Which of the following is the most effective way for Velma to save money each month?

A. Automatically reroute a portion of her paycheck to her savings account.

B. Manually deposit 10% of her paycheck in her savings account.

C. Pay all of her bills and then place the remaining money in her savings account.

D. Pay all of her bills and then place the remaining money in her piggy bank.

The correct answer to this question is A. Automatically reroute a portion of her paycheck to her savings account.

Explanation:

In this case, Velma needs to consistently save money for her vacation as this guarantees she will have the money for the trip. This means it is ideal every month she contributes consistently to her savings for the vacation.

This can be better be achieved by automatically rerouting a part of her paycheck for this purpose (Option A) because in this way, every month the money for the vacations will increase and the amount of money will be consistent, which means Velma will know beforehand the money she will have for the vacation. Moreover, options such as using a piggy bank or paying the bills and using the rest for her savings, do not guarantee she will contribute to the savings every month, or she will have the money she needs at the end.

Which are true of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)? Multiple answers: You can select more than one option A it supports full duplex communication B it has graceful connection shutdown C its connections are logical D its data is sent as a discrete messages E it is an end-to-end protocol

Answers

Answer:

A, B, C, D and E

Explanation:

Transmission Control protocol (TCP) is a protocol that describes how connections are made and maintained between devices in a network which will help applications in these devices communicate and transmit data.

The following are some of the features of TCP:

i. It supports full duplex communication: In other words, TCP allows for concurrent transmission of data in both directions.

ii. it has a graceful connection shutdown: TCP allows for graceful termination and closing of connection. This means that when there is no more data to be sent by any of the communicating devices, rather than just close connection from its end, it first informs the other device about its completion and asks if it's safe to close the connection. From there, if the other device then says it doesn't have any data to send either, they then reach a consensus to close the connection at their respective ends.

iii. Its connections are logical: TCP makes use of the reliability and flow control mechanisms which require that it initialize and maintain some status information for each stream of data. This status information containing sockets, sequence numbers and window sizes is called a logical connection.

iv. Data is sent as discrete messages: Like other discrete messages, the IP treats the data in TCP as discrete messages by placing them into the IP datagram and transmitting to the target host.

v. It is an end-to-end protocol: TCP governs the way data is transmitted between two devices at their respective ends to ensure reliable delivery. In other words, it is responsible for the transmission of data from a source to one or more destinations. It sits on the operating system of the source and also on the operating system(s) of the destination(s).

Rosseta Technologies, an information technology service provider to a company based out of Germany, allows its employees to work from home twice a month. Its major concern is the leakage of confidential data from the laptops or an employee making copies of sensitive files on his personal laptop. Which of the following would help the firm enforce access controls and storage guidelines on its laptops?
a. Anenterprise search software
b. A binary search tool
c. A perceptive software pack
d. A Domain search engine

Answers

Answer:

a. An enterprise search software.

Explanation:

In this scenario, Rosseta Technologies, an information technology service provider to a company based out of Germany, allows its employees to work from home twice a month. In order to prevent the leakage of confidential data from the laptops or an employee making copies of sensitive files on his personal laptop, Rosetta technologies should use an enterprise search software.

Enterprise search software is a computer application which is typically used to make relevant data from sources, such as a database, file system and intranet searchable to a specific or defined group of people.

An enterprise search software would help the firm enforce access controls and storage guidelines on its laptops.

On enterprise search software, there are basically two (2) ways to enforce access controls as a security policy on users;

1. Early binding: at the index stage, permissions are analyzed and ascribed to each document in the enterprise search software.

2. Late binding: it involves the process of analyzing permissions and ascribing them to each document at the query stage in the enterprise search software.

If distances are recorded as 4-bit numbers in a 500-router network, and distance vectors are exchanged 3 times/second, how much total bandwidth (in bps) is used by the distributed routing algorithm

Answers

Answer:

A total of 6,000 bps of bandwidth is used by the distributed routing algorithm

Explanation:

This is a bandwidth requirement question.

We proceed as follows;

To calculate the total number of bits for a routing table, we use the following formula;

Routing table=Number of routers * length of cost

we are given the following parameters from the question;

Number of routers = 500

length of cost = 4 bits

Routing table = 500*4

=2000

Hence, a routing table is 2000 bits in length.

Now we proceed to calculate the bandwidth required on each line using the formula below;

Bandwidth = no.of seconds * no.of bits in routing table

Bandwidth required on each line = 3*2000

=6000

A signal travels from point A to point B. At point A, the signal power is 100 W. At point B, the power is 90 W. What is the attenuation in decibels?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Attenuation = 0.458\ db[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

Power at point A = 100W

Power at point B = 90W

Required

Determine the attenuation in decibels

Attenuation is calculated using the following formula

[tex]Attenuation = 10Log_{10}\frac{P_s}{P_d}[/tex]

Where [tex]P_s = Power\ Inpu[/tex]t and [tex]P_d = Power\ outpu[/tex]t

[tex]P_s = 100W[/tex]

[tex]P_d = 90W[/tex]

Substitute these values in the given formula

[tex]Attenuation = 10Log_{10}\frac{P_s}{P_d}[/tex]

[tex]Attenuation = 10Log_{10}\frac{100}{90}[/tex]

[tex]Attenuation = 10 * 0.04575749056[/tex]

[tex]Attenuation = 0.4575749056[/tex]

[tex]Attenuation = 0.458\ db[/tex] (Approximated)

How I to turn this ''loop while'' in ''loop for''?

var i = 0;
while (i < 20) {
var lineY = 20 + (i * 20);
line(0, lineY, 400, lineY);
i++;
}

Answers

Answer:

for (var i = 0; i <20; i++)

{

var lineY = 20 + (i * 20);

line(0, lineY, 400, lineY);

}

Explanation:

To turn the loop while to for loop, you start by considering the iterating variable i and its iterating operations which are;

var i = 0; while (i < 20) and i++;

Where var i = 0; is the initializing statement

(i < 20) is the conditional statement

i++ is the increment

The next is to combine these operations to a for loop; using the following syntax: for(initializing; condition; increment){}

This gives: for(var i = 0; i<20; i++)

Hence, the full code snippet is:

for (var i = 0; i <20; i++)

{

var lineY = 20 + (i * 20);

line(0, lineY, 400, lineY);

}
