Answer:

Below:

Explanation:

1. Practice mail security. Use a public mailbox rather than your home mailbox to send bill payments and other mail containing sensitive information. Pick your mail up promptly and ask the post office to hold it while you’re away.

2. Guard your Social Security number. Don’t carry your Social Security card, military ID, Medicare, or other cards that have your Social Security number on them unless you are going somewhere where you will need them. Only provide your Social Security number when there is a legitimate need to do so.

3. Lock and shred. Keep your billing and banking statements and other personal records locked up and shred them when no longer needed.

4. Stop prescreened credit and insurance mailings. Call toll-free 1-888-567-8688 to get off mailing lists for credit and insurance offers. Your Social Security number will be required. This keeps thieves from intercepting and accepting the offers in your name and doesn’t affect your eligibility for credit or insurance.

5. Keep private information to yourself. Never respond to phone calls or emails asking to confirm your Social Security number or account numbers. Don’t leave PIN numbers, passwords or other personal information around for others to see.

6. Be safe online. Use anti-virus and anti-spyware software and a firewall on your computer and keep them updated. When you provide financial or other sensitive information online, the address should change from “http” to “https” or “shttp.” A symbol such as a lock that closes may also indicate that the transmission is secure.

7. Look at your bills and bank statements promptly. If you find any charges or debits that you never made, contact the bank or company immediately.

lukranit [14]

Explanation:

A default constructor is a constructor that present in the class by default with no parameters when we write a new constructor with parameters it is called overloaded constructor.There can be different overloaded constructors in the same class.

The main difference between default constructor and overloaded constructor is that the default constructor does't have any parameters while the overloaded constructors have parameters.

Write a python program to read four numbers (representing the four octets of an IP) and print the next five IP addresses. Be sur

sdas [7]

Answer:

first_octet = int(input("Enter the first octet: "))

second_octet = int(input("Enter the second octet: "))

third_octet = int(input("Enter the third octet: "))

forth_octet = int(input("Enter the forth octet: "))

octet_start = forth_octet + 1

octet_end = forth_octet + 6

if (1 <= first_octet <= 255) and (0 <= second_octet <= 255) and (0 <= third_octet <= 255) and (0 <= forth_octet <= 255):

for ip in range(octet_start, octet_end):

forth_octet = forth_octet + 1

if forth_octet > 255:

forth_octet = (forth_octet % 255) - 1

third_octet = third_octet + 1

if third_octet > 255:

third_octet = (third_octet % 255) - 1

second_octet = second_octet + 1

if second_octet > 255:

second_octet = (second_octet % 255) - 1

first_octet = first_octet + 1

if first_octet > 255:

print("No more available IP!")

break

print(str(first_octet) + "." + str(second_octet) + "." + str(third_octet) + "." + str(forth_octet))

else:

print("Invalid input!")

Explanation:

- Ask the user for the octets

- Initialize the start and end points of the loop, since we will be printing next 5 IP range is set accordingly

- Check if the octets meet the restrictions

- Inside the loop, increase the forth octet by 1 on each iteration

- Check if octets reach the limit - 255, if they are greater than 255, calculate the mod and subtract 1. Then increase the previous octet by 1.

For example, if the input is: 1. 1. 20. 255, next ones will be:

1. 1. 21. 0

1. 1. 21. 1

1. 1. 21. 2

1. 1. 21. 3

1. 1. 21. 4

There is an exception for the first octet, if it reaches 255 and others also reach 255, this means there are no IP available.

- Print the result
