Explain the difference between social engineering and reverse social engineering.

1 answer:

5 0

Social Engineering is the art of eliciting sensitive information from people by tricking them. Like through phishing, fake emails that contain a virus and fake programs. They get your password or any other sensitive information by making you think the website/program is legit. That's why you should always make sure the new website/program you visited is safe.

Reverse Social Engineering is, on the other hand, where the initial attacker becomes attacked. Or the victim redirects the attacker to someone who can counter the attacker. E.g attackers call the front desk and ask for information X. Instead or giving him information X, front desk redirects the call to the security department. An example is where the attacker is fed false information. Law enforcement agencies often perform this attack.

Which function of NOS involves swapping programs and files

yaroslaw [1]

The answer is Multitasking. NOS (Network Operating System) has the ability to execute more than one program at a time. It allows different programs to operate on the CPU, effectively giving each program a virtual copy of the CPU while preventing the program from directly manipulating the hardware. The NOS switches the CPU time from one task to another in order to create the idea that several tasks are being executed at the same time, but in reality, only one program is being executed.
