Your answer would be
A. The editorial is data.
I just took this test :)
Answer:
TRUE
Explanation:
A rootkit is a collection of computer software, typically malicious, that is designed to grant an unauthorized user access to a computer or certain programs. Once a rootkit is installed, it is easy to mask its presence, so an attacker can maintain privileged access while remaining undetected.
Rootkit detection is difficult because a rootkit maybe able to subvert the software that is intended to find it.
Rootkits work by using a process called modification (the changing of user account permissions and security).
Rootkits are not malware themselves, but rather a process used to deploy malware on a target.
Therefore, it is TRUE that a rootkit is software and file folders that are hidden from view and permit viruses, spyware, and malware to be installed on a PC without the knowledge or consent of a user.
Answer:
Some computer experts create computer viruses to prove certain a process will work
Explanation:
I included my code in the picture below.
Answer:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
void divide(int numerator, int denominator, int *quotient, int *remainder)
{
*quotient = (int)(numerator / denominator);
*remainder = numerator % denominator;
}
int main()
{
int num = 42, den = 5, quotient=0, remainder=0;
divide(num, den, "ient, &remainder);
return 0;
}
Explanation:
The exercise is for "Call by pointers". This technique is particularly useful when a variable needs to be changed by a function. In our case, the quotient and the remainder. The '&' is passing by address. Since the function is calling a pointer. We need to pass an address. This way, the function will alter the value at the address.
To sum up, in case we hadn't used pointers here, the quotient and remainder that we set to '0' would have remained zero because the function would've made copies of them, altered the copies and then DELETED the copies. When we pass by pointer, the computer goes inside the memory and changes it at the address. No new copies are made. And the value of the variable is updated.
Thanks! :)
