Threat Agent Threat
It is a specific individual or group that create the problem in the system. It is the common potential which can harm the system.
It can be any specific virus, worm, and many more. It can be any common thing like worm which can harm the system.
Example of threat agent is Kevin Mitnick (hacker), and Blaster (worm). Example of threat is Hacking, Spoofing and many more.
It is the specific fundamental which is used to know about who is trying to create the problem in the system. It is the fundamental method which is used to create problem in the system.
Types of threat agents are hackers, worms and many more. Types of threats are physical (fire), natural (climate), technical (software) and many more.

Using MATLAB symbolic toolbox, given these 3 equations, how would you solve for mu = function(theta), making sure that there are no mu's on the right hand side, making sure theta-dot-dot, theta-dot-squared- and N aren't in the final answer either.
After playing our giving implementation, your task is to implement Dinning Philosophers with semaphore in C, by including and Your implementation will require creating five philosophers, each identified by a number 0.4. Each philosopher will run as a separate thread. Create threads using Pthreads as discussed in the Lecture slides on Chapter 4 and Practice Lab on Threads. Your solution needs to accomplish the following: Implement in C (15 points) 1. dp1.c - You are to provide your solution to this assignment as a single C program named 'dp1.c using semaphore. Explain in you code (as comments) that the dead lock will happen or not. If there is a possible deadlock, you can simply solve the deadlock by pick the fork in order like the first solution in our slides. Solve Deadlock by Footman (15 points) 1. Here is a new solution to overcome the deadlock. The Dining Philosophers decide to hire a footman whose task to allow only four philosophers to sit on the table. When entering and…
