Answer:

Given:

Passwords are selected from 4 characters.

Character combinations are 26 lower case alphabetic characters.

Passwords attempts by adversary is at rate of 1 second.

To find:

Expected time to discover the correct password

Explanation:

Solution:

4 character combinations of 26 alphabetic characters at the rate of one attempt at every 1 second = 26 * 4 = 104

So 104 seconds is the time to discover the correct password. However this is the worst case scenario when adversary has to go through every possible combination. An average time or expected time to discover the correct password is:

13 * 4 = 52

You can also write it as 104 / 2 = 52 to discover the correct password. This is when at least half of the password attempts seem to be correct.

A technician receives an invalid certificate error when visiting a website with port 443 enabled. Other computers on the same LA
amm1812

Answer:

Option (A) is the right answer.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the user system is giving the error of invalid certificate while other users on the same network do not report any error, which means that there is some problem in a particular system.

Date and time can also be one of the main cause of this error because wrong date and time creates problem in surfing many websites by giving certificate error.

Hence the most appropriate answer is option (A).

While other option are wrong because of the following reasons:

  • UEFI boot mode is mainly used in booting the operating system and has no connection with network.
  • Logon time is also wrong because if the problem is with the login server, it can not give certificate error.
  • User access control is also not correct because it is used to control the access of the user.

The component that allows you to make a paper-based copy of a body of text is the _____.
ANTONII [103]
The correct answer is: Scanner

The scanner is a piece of technology which unlike the printer is an input device which basically scans the top-view of any flat surface (usually paper but is definitely not limited to it) introduced in its effective range using light. The data scanned is then transfered to the Central Processing Unit for futher processing. The processed image can then be outputted and seen on the monitor's display. Once available for printing, the Central Processing Unit will just send the processed image into the printer ad voila, your scanned image is now printed in a piece of paper!

Today, scanners come with printers as a bundle. It is a perfect combination since the printer will just print the image anyway.

Why operating system is pivotal in teaching and learning
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

Without it information flow is impossible

Explanation:

The word 'pivotal' also means crucial or vital, and so we need to consider what an operating system actually does.

Remember, merely having all the hardware of a computer would not allow you to run (install and use) programs. It is by means of an operating system that teaching programs can be installed, and it is also by means of an operating system learning can take place.

For example, a student can decode (learn) instructions/lessons from his teacher via a software program; and the software program needs an operating system to open (run) the program.
