6.3 Consider the following threats to Web security anddescribe how each is countered by a particular feature ofSL.a. Brute-Force Cryptanalytic Attack: An exhaustivesearch of the key space for a conventionalencryption algorithm.b. Known Plaintext Dictionary Attack: Manymessages will contain predictable plaintext, suchas the HTTP GET command. An attackerconstructs a dictionary containing every possibleencryption of the known-plaintext message. Whenan encrypted message is intercepted, the attackertakes the portion containing the encrypted known plaintext and looks up the ciphertext in thedictionary. The ciphertext should match against anentry that was encrypted with the same secret key.If there are several matches, each of these can betried against the full ciphertext to determine theright one. This attack is especially effectiveagainst small key sizes (e.g., 40-bit keys).c. Replay Attack: Earlier SSL handshake messagesare replayed.d. Man-in-the-Middle Attack: An attacker interposesduring key exchange, acting as the client to theserver and as the server to the client.e. Password Sniffing: Passwords in HTTP or otherapplication traffic are eavesdropped.f. IP Spoofing: Uses forged IP addresses to fool ahost into accepting bogus data.g. IP Hijacking: An active, authenticated connectionbetween two hosts is disrupted and the attackertakes the place of one of the hosts.h. SYN Flooding: An attacker sends TCP SYNmessages to request a connection but does not

You have already made a file that can be used to hit the target server with a dictionary attack even if salt is not used. If you take out the word "impossible," the file has 171,000 words from the OED. The dictionary is now out of date because the 32-bit salt server was changed. You want to make a new dictionary so you can use raw force to find words in an existing one. How many words are in the new book all together?

2. Describe the flaw in this argument: Consider the following attack against one-time pad: upon seeing a ciphertext c, the eavesdropper tries every candidate key k e {0,1}^ until she has found the one that was used, at which point she outputs the plaintext m. This contra- dicts the argument in the book that the eavesdropper can obtain no information about m by seeing the ciphertext.
This question concerns block cipher modes. We will use a simple affine cipher, which can be expressed in C as follows. char cipher(unsigned char block, char key) { return (key+11*block)%256; } Note that the block size is 8 bits, which is one byte (and one ASCII character). We will work with the fixed key 0x08. We now encrypt various plaintexts using modes for this cipher. In every case in which the mode requires an IV, the IV will be OXAA. In the case of CTR mode, we use a (nonce || counter) arrangement in which the nonce is the left 5 bits of OXAA and the counter is a 3 bit counter that begins at 0. In all of the problems given below, one character is one block. Each character of the plaintext should be regarded as its corresponding ASCII code. a) Encrypt the plaintext "spider" using CTR mode.

In Cryptography, we looked at both stream and block cyphers. We also spoke about substitution cyphers and transposition cyphers as instances of these cyphers. What sort of encryption will arise if we combine a stream cypher with a block cypher (by utilising the stream ciphertext as the plaintext in the block cypher)? Is it going to be a block or stream cypher? 2. What kind of encryption will be produced if we reverse the order, putting the block cypher before the stream cypher? Is it going to be a block or stream cypher?

Computer Science/Encryption, please help. You find out that your University is using an authenticated messaging system that is vulnerable to a length extension attack, because it uses an iterative hash function with the insecure MAC construction t = h(K || m). By eavesdropping on the network you intercept the following message m from your professor to the administration: “Set final course grade to A for J. Smith,” along with its tag t. Give an example of a believable message that you could forge and send using a length-extension attack, and describe how the attack would work. Specify how you would use the hash function and what pieces of data you would send.
What is the big benefit of a digital signature over schemes like keyed hashes or incorporating a shared secret into a hash calculation? Select one: a. It solves the key exchange problem b. It prevents length extension attacks c. It saves having to calculate a digest d. It makes it difficult for the sender of a message to deny they sent it
Forcefully Decoding All Strings with Python By instrumenting code in a debugger, you can force the malware to decode all of its strings. without executing any of its malicious payloads. Here are the basic steps that the script takes: 1. It uses inm.getXreffrom to enumerate all cross-references to the decoding function. 2. Starting at the address of the cross reference, it disassembles backwards (ie., in a reverse direction) looking for the soy 32,as instruction, where 22 represents any 32-bit register and the ADDR operand is the address of the encoded string 3. It reads a copy of the encoded string and saves it for logging purposes. 4. It sets ETP to the address of the cross-reference (the instruction which cats the decoding function), moves the string pointer onto the stack (twice-once for eachargument), and uses imm. stepover to execute the decoding function. 5. It reads a copy of the decoded string and prints it along with the encoded version saved in Step 3. 6. It repeats these…
