When the morris worm exploited the "finger" vulnerability, where did the shellcode reside when it executed?

1 answer:

6 0

<span>The Morris Worm was one of -- if not the -- first worms that used the Internet to travel, and it did so by being deposited in the buffer overflow. It used a network service finger vulnerability in Unix to spread from machine to machine: the finger program ran at the root (admin) level and was programmed to assume no username would exceed 100 characters. By creating longer names, the worm code was entered, copied, and passed on. Buffer overflow attacks occur when too much code or data is entered or created for the buffer to hold. This creates an error in which data is stored elsewhere, or in this case, the code entered using the username vulnerability.</span>

How did nationalist feelings endanger the Austro Hungarian empire? Who has this quick check???

tester [92]

<span>The Austro-Hungarian empire was endangered by feelings of nationalism because there were multiple national groups within the empire. So fulfilling nationalist goals would mean a dividing of the empire. The mere fact that the question refers to the empire as "Austro-Hungarian" is already a strong hint of the issue. Prior to 1867, it had been known as simply the Austrian Empire, but a compromise in 1867 meant that a dual monarchy was recognized (an Austrian ruler and a Hungarian ruler). The Hungarians were given self-governing authority over their own internal affairs in their portion of the empire. Other people groups within the empire would seek their own recognition as well -- Czechs, Serbs, Croats, etc. So where nationalism was a uniting factor in regions like the Italian peninsula and the German territories north of Austria, for the Austrian empire, nationalism was a dividing force.</span>

Four advantages corporations brought to the American consumer included

Travka [436]

One of the advantages was that the old mom & pop stores were no longer practical, because the corporations were more convenient. You didn't have to ride around to go to seven stores anymore, you would just go to the big-block store and get everything you needed there. Furthermore, corporations provided a large amount of unskilled jobs - previously, the largest part of the "American dream" was to go and start your own business, farm, etc., but now you could go get a job at a factory or supermarket, so the job market was diversified. Those are just two, but I'm sure you can think of more!
