Consider another carelessly written Web application, which uses a servlet that checks if there was an active session, but does not check if the user is authorized to access that page, instead depending on the fact that a link to the page is shown only to authorized users. What is the risk with this scheme? (There was a real instance where applicants to a college admissions site could, after logging into the Web site, exploit this loophole and view information they were not authorized to see; the unauthorized access was however detected, and those who accessed the information were punished by being denied admission.)

Write a program with a graphical user interface that prompts the user to enter a database hostname, username, password, and database name. Once connected, the program should allow the user to browse the database by selecting a table and then choose to display either the structure of the table (SHOW COLUMNS) or thedata contained within the selected table.

The access control list entries are processed in order. As soon as a match is found, the search stops. In this example, the ACL would say: Roberta: no access; *: full access. As soon as the system found that the first entry matched, it would stop searching and never even see the second entry grant- ing everyone full access.
Find "steganographic tools" on the internet. What have you discovered thus far? One of the tools can be downloaded and installed as a trial version. Within a picture, embed a small text file. In a side-by-side comparison, can you distinguish between the original picture and the one with the embedded file?
In cryptography, a Caesar cipher is a very simple encryption techniques in which each letter in the plain text is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet. For example, with a shift of 3, A would be replaced by D, B would become E, and so on. The method is named after Julius Caesar, who used it to communicate with his generals. ROT-13 (“rotate by 13 places”) is a widely used example of a Caesar cipher where the shift is 13. In Python, the key for ROT-13 may be represented by means of the following dictionary: key = {‘a’:’n’, ‘b’:’o’, ‘c’:’p’, ‘d’:’q’, ‘e’:’r’, ‘f’:’s’, ‘g’:’t’, ‘h’:’u’,‘i’:’v’, ‘j’:’w’, ‘k’:’x’, ‘l’:’y’, ‘m’:’z’, ‘n’:’a’, ‘o’:’b’, ‘p’:’c’,‘q’:’d’, ‘r’:’e’, ‘s’:’f’, ‘t’:’g’, ‘u’:’h’, ‘v’:’i’, ‘w’:’j’, ‘x’:’k’,‘y’:’l’, ‘z’:’m’, ‘A’:’N’, ‘B’:’O’, ‘C’:’P’, ‘D’:’Q’, ‘E’:’R’, ‘F’:’S’,‘G’:’T’, ‘H’:’U’, ‘I’:’V’, ‘J’:’W’, ‘K’:’X’, ‘L’:’Y’, ‘M’:’Z’, ‘N’:’A’,‘O’:’B’, ‘P’:’C’, ‘Q’:’D’, ‘R’:’E’, ‘S’:’F’, ‘T’:’G’, ‘U’:’H’, ‘V’:’I’,‘W’:’J’, ‘X’:’K’,…
Consider a piece of software that allows a surgeon in one area to participate in a surgery on a patient in another city via the use of an internet connection. Who would be interested in following the program? Exactly what type of damage do they aim to cause? What kinds of faults would they attempt to exploit in order to do you harm? Is it conceivable that such defects might cause damage even if there isn't an active, hostile adversary trying to take advantage of them?
1. We assume Z26 ={0, 1, …, 25} is the alphabet for One-Time Pad, and the Plaintext space = Ciphertext space = Key space = (Z26)5. If the plaintext is (11, 8, 5, 19, 22) and the key is (2, 20, 15, 10, 6), what is the ciphertext? ( ) (13, 2, 20, 3, 2). (13, 28, 20, 29, 28). (13, 28, 20, 29, 2) (13, 24, 6, 23, 24). 2. We assume Z26 ={0, 1, …, 25} is the alphabet for One-Time Pad, and the Plaintext space = Ciphertext space = Key space = (Z26)5. If the ciphertext is (11, 24, 5, 19, 22) and the key is (2, 20, 2, 10, 23), what is the decrypted plaintext? ( ) (13, 18, 7, 3, 19). (9, 4, 7, 29, 25). (13, 18, 3, 29, 25) (9, 4, 3, 9, 25). 3.

Crawler is a pilot project designed to crawl BD sites only. First, Initiate crawler module provides current status of URL queue to the Schedule policy module and receives policy map and crawling threshold number. Until a threshold reached flag is received from the Fetch URL module, Crawler receives a link from Fetch URL module. It then retrieves a new page by providing page link to the Fetch site page module. This page is then sent to the Extract URL module and it returns a set of newly extracted links to the Crawler. In order to do that, Extract URL module first generates raw links using Parse raw links module and sends those to the Filter Valid links module. Filter valid links module returns only the URLs that Crawler should crawl in the future. After receiving the filtered links, Extract URL module formats the links using a library module called Format link and finally sends these filtered-formatted links to the Crawler. Based on the policy map, Crawler can either add the links to…
Using the encryption and decryption methods, write a program called SDESMitm.java or sdesmitm.py that will carry out a meet-in-the-middle attack on 2SDES. This system encrypts a plaintext first with one key and then again with a different key. Please review the attack in the notes and the textbook. Recall that this is a known-plaintext attack. I will provide plaintext/ciphertext pairs. Based on those, you should be able to recover the two 9-bit keys. Write the program so that it can be run from the command line taking four parameters: plaintext 1 integer ciphertext 1 integer plaintext 2 integer ciphertext 2 integer Two pairs are needed because the first plaintext/ciphertext pair will let you create a short list of key pairs and the second plaintext/ciphertext pair will allow you to narrow that list down to one key pair. When run, the program should print the two keys. You can test your program on the plaintext/ciphertext pairs 0/247; 4095/2808. In my implemenation, the firat…
