Assume that passwords are selected from four-character combinations of 26 alphabeticcharacters. Assume that an adversary is able

to attempt passwords at a rate ofone per second.
a. Assuming no feedback to the adversary until each attempt has been completed,what is the expected time to discover the correct password?
b. Assuming feedback to the adversary flagging an error as each incorrect character is entered, what is the expected time to discover the correct password?

Answer:

for a) the time required is 228488.5 seconds= 63.469 hours

for b) the time required is 54 seconds

Explanation:

for a) since each combination is equally probable , then the number of possible combinations is

CT=Combinations = number of characters^length of password = 26⁴

then the number of combinations at time t will be the total , less the ones already tried:

Ct = CT - (n-1) , since n=α*t  → Ct=CT-α*t  

since each combination is equally probable , then the probability to succeed  

pt = 1/Ct = 1/ (CT- α*t +1)

but the probability of having a success in time t , means also not succeeding in the previous trials , then

Pt = pt*П(1-pk), for k=1 to t-1

Pt = 1/ (CT- α*t +1) П[1-1/ (CT- α*k +1)] = 1/ (CT- α*t +1) П[(CT- α*k )] /(CT- α*k +1)]  

since α=1 ,  

Pt = 1/ (CT- t +1) П[(CT- k )] /(CT- k +1)] = 1/ (CT- t +1)  * [CT- (t-1) ]/CT  =  1/CT

then the expected value of the random variable t= time to discover the correct password is

E(t) = ∑ t* Pt = ∑ t *1/CT , for t=1 until t=CT/α =CT

E(t) = ∑ t *(1/CT) = (1/CT) ∑ t = (1/CT) * CT*(CT+1)/2 = (CT+1)/2

therefore

E(t) = (CT+1)/2 = (26⁴ +1)/2 = 228488.5 seconds = 63.469 hours

for b)

time required = time to find character 1 + time to find character 2 +time to find character 3 +time to find character 4 = 4*time to find character

since the time to find a character is the same case as before but with CT2=Combinations = 26 ,then

t= 4*tc

E(t) = 4*E(tc) = 4*(CT2+1)/2 = 4*(26+1)/2 = 54 seconds

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The overview of the given situation is described in the explanation segment below.

Explanation:

  • Bug Severity seems to be the extent of influence that somehow a fault will have on the device, while its primary concern is indeed the command of severity that had already affected that same device.
  • You should consider this error as top importance as another framework hangs. I would say you may be lacking the configuration manager settings in your system.

Therefore the above is the right answer.

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

#include <stdio.h>

#include <string.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

#define MAX_LIMIT 50

int checkComma(char *input)

{

int flag = 0;

for(int i = 0; i < strlen(input); i++)

{

if(input[i] == ',')

{

flag = 1;

break;

}

}

return flag;

}

int main(void)

{

char input[MAX_LIMIT];

char *words[2];

char delim[] = ", ";

printf("\n");

do

{

printf("Enter input string: ");

fgets(input, MAX_LIMIT, stdin);

size_t ln = strlen(input) - 1;

if (*input && input[ln] == '\n')

input[ln] = '\0';

if(strcmp(input, "q") == 0)

{

printf("Thank you...Exiting\n\n");

exit(1);

}

else

{

if(checkComma(input) == 0)

{

printf("No comma in string.\n\n");

}

else

{

char *ptr = strtok(input, delim);

int count = 0;

while(ptr != NULL)

{

words[count++] = ptr;

ptr = strtok(NULL, delim);

}

printf("First word: %s\n", words[0]);

printf("Second word: %s\n\n", words[1]);

}

}

}while(strcmp(input, "q") != 0);

return 0;

}

Kindly check the attached image below for the output.
