. List 5 types of exploits from cybercrime and provide brief definition. (2.5 Marks)

Flura [38]

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

Application Exploitation

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.

) Perform error checking for the data point entries. If any of the following errors occurs, output the appropriate error message

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

In Python:

entry = input("Sentence: ")

while True:

if entry.count(",") == 0:

print("Error: No comma in string")

entry = input("Sentence: ")

elif entry.count(",") > 1:

print("Error: Too many comma in input")

entry = input("Sentence: ")

else:

ind = entry.index(',')+1

if entry[ind].isnumeric() == False:

print("Comma not followed by an integer")

entry = input("Sentence: ")

else:

break

print("Valid Input")

Explanation:

This prompts the user for a sentence

entry = input("Sentence: ")

The following loop is repeated until the user enters a valid entry

while True:

This is executed if the number of commas is 0

if entry.count(",") == 0:

print("Error: No comma in string")

entry = input("Sentence: ")

This is executed if the number of commas is more than 1

elif entry.count(",") > 1:

print("Error: Too many comma in input")

entry = input("Sentence: ")

This is executed if the number of commas is 1

else:

This calculates the next index after the comma

ind = entry.index(',')+1

This checks if the character after the comma is a number

if entry[ind].isnumeric() == False:

If it is not a number, the print statement is executed

print("Comma not followed by an integer")

entry = input("Sentence: ")

If otherwise, the loop is exited

else:

break

This prints valid input, when the user enters a valid string

print("Valid Input")

Note that: entry = input("Sentence: ") is used to get input

Physical science is the study of the inorganic world. That is, it does not study living things. (Those are studied in biological, or life, science.) The four main branches of physical science are astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the Earth sciences, which include meteorology and geology.

Why do objects in the back seat move when the car turns

Korvikt [17]

Newton's law states that objects in rest tend to stay at rest. Since the car is moving one way, the objects are trying to stay at rest but it appears they're moving.

How does coding work on computers?

sleet_krkn [62]

Coding works through programming/programs. Programs have different coding languages, and text files. The code within the file is known as the "source CODE" this code is used in different ways, causing for the possibility of separate binary files that computers can directly run. Hope I helped.
