Answer: The goals of computer security are to protect computers and users from data theft or loss as well as damage to any part of the computer.
Explanation: Common means of achieving computer security are firewalls, anti-virus software and this can fail due to hardware problems or
weaknesses that prevent malicious attacks.
To answer this question, think of a time when you experienced any one of these. For example, personally, I was once an unfortunate victim of a general malicious attack that took advantage of a weakness in my anti-virus software. After clicking on a link on a dodgy website, a virus was installed on my computer. My computer finally crashed, without any hope of restarting it. I lost all my data and I had to buy a new computer. This was a malicious attack.
However, sometimes people can be specifically targeted to steal their data or monitor their activities.
Answer:
a) Viruses
Explanation:
Vulnerability assessment is performed by variety of tools and these can be protocol analyzer, vulnerability scanner, Honeypots, port scanners, honey nets and banner grabbing tools.
Port scanners : they are used to scan the ports which can be exploited by attackers. Most of TCP/IP applications communicate using different ports and attackers can exploit these ports if they are found vulnerable. for example : ports like 80 and 443 are commonly used for HTTP and SSL communication. 22 is used for SSH and if they are open to world then it will allow attackers to use those to get the entry into the system.
Protocol Analyzers : They are used to analyze the packet captures. tools like wireshark, tshark, these tools will help user to decode HTTP/SSL/HTTPS/FTP/RSTP or any application protocols communication. this will help user to understand any unwanted or non-anticipated traffic.
Vulnerability Scanners : They are used to detect the vulnerabilities in the network or systems. these will help administrators to get the alerts whenever there are unanticipated activity. It will have two types of scanners one is active scanner and other is passive scanner. Active scanners will keep on sending probes at the fixed time slots and passibe scanners will be in listening mode all the time. These scanners will alert when a new nodes comes up or goes down or if any system gets compromised.
Honeypots and Honey nets : They are devices or softwares which are having limited security. These devices are made vulnerable purposefully so that attackers can try and attack. This will help softwares to detect the attackers when they try to exploit these open vulnerabilities. They are deceptions created with purpose.
Banner grabbing Tools : These are tools which will capture the banner information like HTTP protocol version, underlying operating system, open ssl versions being used, server software and similar information. these are important as it will open up potential vulnerabilities in the underlying software. for ex : SSLv3 has a vulnerability known to world and can be exploited by anyone.
I included my code in the picture below.
Ethics:
- to ensure that privacy will not be lost.
-ensuring personal information is not lost
-information in the accountings will not be submitted or shared with anyone
-information will be saved and viewed by the business.
- The business will not falsely make the accountings.
Answer:
See explaination
Explanation:
Here are the steps taken to draw the diagram!
opcode0 and the opcode1 signals are inverted/not to determine the case whether it is 00, 01, 10, 11.
Then they are 'and'ed with the corresponding Zero/lt signal to confirm if the case is true, for eg. zero = 1 if opcode = 00 (beq).
Then all the cases are 'or'ed to get the Branch signal!
