In cyber security, an exploit is a way attackers take advantage of certain vulnerabilities and gain malicious access to systems. There are very many types of exploits that exist in the cyber security world. However, I will mention those ones most commonly used.

DoS attacks – The denial of service attacks is very common. Hackers will gain access to servers and send so many packet requests at the same time. The servers become overwhelmed due to too much memory allocation and the huge amount of traffic ends up crashing the servers.

Unauthorized access – When an attacker has an illegal access to host machines

<u>Application Exploitation</u>

Code injection – This exploit can be used to maliciously inject invalid code into an application program or software and as a result change how the program behaves.

Cross-site scripting – Enable hackers inject malicious scripts on a website of a client. Once they have gained access, they will escalate their privileges and have more access to the site.

Clickjacking – A type of attack that tricks unknown victims into clicking links of a web page they believe are legitimate and end up revealing confidential information of themselves.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The program to this question can be given as:

Program:

#include <stdio.h> //define header file

int main() //define main method.

{

int a1,b1,c1; //define variable

printf("Enter three numbers:\n"); //message

scanf("%d",&a1); //input numbers.

scanf("%d",&b1);//input numbers.

scanf("%d",&c1);//input numbers.

if (a1>b1) //check condition

{

//check condition

if(a1>c1)//inner if block

{

printf("The largest number: %d", a1); //message

}

else  //inner else block

{

printf("The largest number: %d", c1);//message

}

}

else //else block

{

//check condition

if(b1>c1) //inner if block.

{

printf("The largest number: %d", b1);//message

}

else //else block

{

printf("The largest number: %d",c1);//message

}

}

return 0;  //return 0.

}

Output:

Enter three numbers:

22

44

11

The largest number: 44

Explanation:

The description of the above program can be given as:

  • In the C language program firstly we define the header file. Then we define the main function. In the main function, we define three variables that are "a1, b1 and c1". In this variable, we take input from the user.
  • Then we define the conditional statements. In the if block we check if the value of a1 is greater then the value of b1 if this condition is true so we use another condition that if the value of a1 is greater then the value of c1. so, it will print the largest value. If the above condition is not true then it will go to else section.
  • In the else part we check the condition that if the value of b1 is greater then the value of c1. if it is true it will print the largest number value.
