Answer:

Option (c) Remote code exploits aim to escalate attackers’ privileges, while XSS attacks aim to gain access only

Explanation:

XSS stands for Cross-site Scripting. In this types of attacks, a malicious code is injected in the trusted web sites and it sends the malicious code into the users. The users think that the genuine code was sent but not.
This involves sending server side scripts which are executed by the user and these may even change the html pages too.
Remote code exploitation means the user can inject the code and try to gain access. Usually, all the programming languages have evaluation functions if used the user can try to gain the access with this evaluation functions.
This can lead to the compromise of the whole web server too.So, it is not a good practice to use the evaluation functions by the developers.
In this type of attack, the attacker tries to inject the code remotely.
Option (c) is correct and options (a),(b) and (d) are wrong options.

Option A i.e., SME for further investigation.

Explanation:

What is output? public class MathRecursive { public static void myMathFunction(int a, int r, int counter) { int val; val = a*r;

ycow [4]

Answer:

The output of the program is:

2 4 8 16 32 64 End

Explanation:

See attachment for proper presentation of the program

The program uses recursion to determine its operations and outputs.

The function is defined as: myMathFunction(int a, int r, int counter)

It initially gets the following as its input from the main method

a= 1; r = 2; counter = 0

Its operation goes thus:

val = a*r; 1 * 2 = 2

Print val; Prints 2

if (counter > 4) { System.out.print("End"); } : Not true

else { myMathFunction(val, r, counter + 1); }: True
