Answer:

Can be executed on multiple platforms.

Explanation:

A program is portable if it is not platform dependent. In other words, if the program is not tightly coupled to a particular platform, then it is said to be portable. Portable programs can run on multiple platforms without having to do much work. By platform, we essentially mean the operating system and hardware configuration of the machine's CPU.

Examples of portable programs are those written in;

i. Java

ii. C++

iii. C

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.

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);

}

Answer:

A printer is connected locally on Computer1 and is shared on the network. Computer2 installs the shared printer and connects to it. Computer1 considers the printer to be a(n) _____local___________ printer, and Computer2 considers the printer to be a(n) _____network___________ printer.

Explanation:

Any printer installed directly to Computer 1 is a local printer.  If this printer is then shared with computers 2 and 3 in a particular networked environment, it becomes a shared printer.  For these other computers 2 and 3, the shared printer is a network printer, because it is not locally installed in each of them.  There may be some features which network computers cannot use on a shared printer, especially if the printer can scan documents.

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.

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]

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

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:

b. SIEM.

Explanation:

In this scenario, an organization is struggling to differentiate threats from normal traffic and access to systems. A security engineer has been asked to recommend a system that will aggregate data and provide metrics that will assist in identifying malicious actors or other anomalous activity throughout the environment. The solution the engineer should recommend is the Security information and event management (SIEM).

Security information and event management is an enterprise software that provides a holistic view and analyzes activity from various resources across an entire information technology (IT) infrastructure.

The SIEM is used to aggregate important data from multiple source such as servers, routers, firewall, switches, domain controllers, antivirus software and analyzes the data to detect any threat, deviation from the norm, as well as investigate in order to take appropriate actions. Some examples of the SIEM system are IBM QRadar, Splunk, LogRhythm etc.

Answer:

I am writing a C program.

#include <stdio.h> // for using input output functions

#include <stdbool.h> // for using a bool value as data type

int main() { // start of the main() function body

 int count=0; //count the number of entries

 double gallons, miles, MilesperGallon, combined_avg, sum; //declare variables

 while(true) {// takes input gallons and miles value from user and computes avg miles per gallon

      printf( "Enter the gallons used (-1 to stop): \n" ); //prompts user to enter value of gallons or enter -1 to stop

      scanf( "%lf", &gallons );//reads the value of gallons from user

   if ( gallons == -1 ) {// if user enters -1

     combined_avg = sum / count; //displays the combined average by dividing total of miles per drives to no of entries

     printf( "Combined miles per gallon for all tankfuls:  %lf\n", combined_avg ); //displays overall average value  

     break;} //ends the loop

     printf( "Enter the miles driven: \n" ); //if user does not enter -1 then prompts the user to enter value of miles

     scanf( "%lf", &miles ); //read the value of miles from user

MilesperGallon = miles / gallons; //compute the miles per gallon

printf( "The miles per gallon for tankful:  %lf\n", MilesperGallon ); //display the computed value of miles per gallon

  sum += MilesperGallon; //adds all the computed miles per gallons values

   count += 1;  } } //counts number of tankfuls (input entries)

Explanation:

The program takes as input the miles driven and gallons used for each tankful. These values are stored in miles and gallons variables. The program calculates and displays the miles per gallon MilesperGallon obtained for each tankful by dividing the miles driven with the gallons used. The while loop continues to execute until the user enters -1. After user enters -1, the program calculates and prints the combined miles per gallon obtained for all tankful. At the computation of MilesperGallon for each tankful, the value of MilesperGallon are added and stored in sum variable. The count variable works as a counter which is incremented to 1 after each entry. For example if user enters values for miles and gallons and the program displays MilesperGallon then at the end of this iteration the value of count is incremented to 1. This value of incremented for each tankful and then these values are added. The program's output is attached.

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.
