Answer:

GFCI - " Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter"

Working Principle - The GFCI operates by measuring the flow of current into the circuit to that of flowing out. And then operate as accordingly to the situations.

Importance - The GFCI are used for the purpose of protection against electrocution and mainly are installed where the circuit may come in contact with water.

Explanation:

If the difference between the current leaving and returning through the current transformer of the GFCI exceeds 5mA, the solid-state circuitry opens the switching contacts and de-energizes the circuit.

As the GFCI can detect the current even in amount of currents as small as 4 to 5 milliamps. Now in case there is any leakage current from the circuit, so , the GFCI will respond by shutting off the system or circuit in order to avoid any sort of loss.

Answer:

The GFCI shuts down the circuit when it senses a current leakage.

Explanation:

The ground of a circuit should truly be ground. But if the ground circuit is not truly ground, then someone could get shocked. The GFCI monitors the possibility of current flow to ground. If this occurs, then the GFCI stops all flow of current, for safety reasons.

It also monitors if the current flow is interrupted. Say you drop something that is plugged in, into a sink of water. The GFCI should note the current loss, and shut down the circuit.

GFCI stands for: Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter

See explaination

Explanation:

2a)

A hacker group hacked into the Bay Area Rapid Transit system, this was done to protest BART’s shut down of wireless communication in some BART stations. Such attacks is done mostly to stand for some situation which happened previously. Hence, we can say it is a form a hacktivism. It was not ethical as it disrupted the system for some time.But this is also a form of protest which is been done by some group of peoples.

2b)

If a foreign government launches a hacking attack, it can be considered a war.

If this type of attack happens then the repercussions may result to the war.

2c)

We gave an analogy between merchants accepting some amount of shoplifting, on the one hand, and merchants and credit card companies accepting some amount of credit card fraud, on the other hand.

THe streght so called can be pointed out as the money is rolling in the market and the business keeps on going.

The weakness can be described as the loss which is being incurred by the company.

Discuss in detail why you need to use a write blocker (either hardware or software) in your examinations, whether for a criminal

dolphi86 [110]

A write blocker is any tool that permits read-only access to data storage devices without compromising the integrity of the data. A write blocker, when used properly, can guarantee the protection of the data chain of custody. NIST‘s general write blocking requirements hold that:

The tool shall not allow a protected drive to be changed.The tool shall not prevent obtaining any information from or about any drive.The tool shall not prevent any operations to a drive that is not protected.
