Consider the following threats to Web security and describe how each is countered by a particular feature of TLS. A. Password Sniffing: Passwords in HTTP or other application traffic are eavesdropped. B. IP Spoofing: Uses forged IP addresses to fool a host into accepting bogus data. C. IP Hijacking: An active, authenticated connection between two hosts is disrupted, and the attacker takes the place of one of the hosts. D. SYN Flooding: An attacker sends TCP SYN messages to request a connection, but does not respond to the final message to establish the connection fully. The attacked TCP module typically leaves the “half-open connection” around for a few minutes. Repeated SYN messages can clog the TCP module.

101. A vulnerability scanner is a) a prepared application that takes advantage of a known weakness. b) a tool used to quickly check computers on a network for known weaknesses. c) an application that captures TCP/IP data packets, which can maliciously be used to capture passwords and other data while it is in transit either within the computer or over the network. d) a situation in which one person or program successfully masquerades as another by falsifying data and thereby gaining illegitimate access.

For DNS query, it is natural to expect that the local DNS server may not know how to resolve an address. In this case, further queries will be made by this local DNS server. If a hacker can find "a way" to make a certain DNS server report back the wrong IP address, then anyone trying to get to one Web address will be sent to a bogus one, without any obvious way for the user to detect that anything is wrong. Likewise, email could be delivered to the wrong destination. 1) Describe two possible attacks to make the resolver report the wrong IP address.
