3.) File Encryption and DecryptionWrite a program that uses a dictionary to assign “codes” to each letter of the alphabet. For example:
codes = { ‘A’ : ‘%’, ‘a’ : ‘9’, ‘B’ : ‘@’, ‘b’ : ‘#’, etc . . .}Using this example, the letter A would be assigned the symbol %, the letter a would be assigned the number 9, the letter B would be assigned the symbol @, and so forth.
The program should open a specified text file, read its contents, then use the dictionary to write an encrypted version of the file’s contents to a second file. Each character in the second file should contain the code for the corresponding character in the first file.
Write a second program that opens an encrypted file and displays its decrypted contents on the screen.
Returns an US standard formatted phone number, in the format of
(xxx) xxx-xxxx
the AreaCode, Prefix and number being each part in order.
Testing Hint: We be exact on the format of the number when
testing this method. Make sure you think about how to convert
33 to 033 or numbers like that when setting your string format. Reminder
the %02d - requires the length to be 2, with 0 padding at the front if a single
digit number is passed in.
The next problem concerns the following C code:
/copy input string x to buf */
void foo (char *x) {
char buf [8];
strcpy((char *) buf, x);
}
void callfoo() {
}
foo("ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA");
Here is the corresponding machine code on a Linux/x86 machine:

This problem tests your understanding of the program stack. Here are some notes to
help you work the problem:
• strcpy(char *dst, char *src) copies the string at address src (including
the terminating '\0' character) to address dst. It does not check the size of
the destination buffer.
You will need to know the hex values of the following characters:

- A ROP (Return-Oriented Programming) attack can be used to execute arbitrary instructions by chaining together small pieces of code called "gadgets." Your goal is to create a stack layout for a ROP attack that calls a function located at '0x4018bd3'. Below is the assembly code for the function 'getbuf', which allocates 8 bytes of stack space for a 'char' array. This array is then passed to the 'gets' function. Additionally, you are provided with five useful gadgets and their addresses. Use these gadgets to construct the stack layout.

So, hopefully you'll start early and you've kept to the schedule in terms of reading the lecture notes. You can use compass if you want to create this database. Or, when your connection string in the model runs it will create the database for you if one does not yet exist. So, ⚫ create a Mongoose model based on the info given below.

Enabled with SSL, HTTPS protocol is widely used to provide secure Web services to Web users using Web browsers on the Internet. How is a secure communication channel established at the start of communication between a Web server running HTTPS and a Web browser? Consider the following threats to Web security and how each of these threats is countered by a particular feature of SSL. Man-in-the-middle attack: An attacker interposes during key exchange, acting as the client to the server and as the server to the client. Password sniffing: Passwords in HTTP or other application traffic are “eavesdropped.” 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.arrow_forward

' ; UPDATE users SET NickName='Hacked' WHERE role='admin' -- If a SQL injection vulnerability happens to an UPDATE statement, the damage will be more severe, because attackers can use the vulnerability to modify databases. In our Employee Management application, there is an Edit Profile page (Figure 2) that allows employees to update their profile information, including nickname, email, address, phone number, and password. To go to this page, employees need to log in first. When employees update their information through the Edit Profile page, the following SQL UPDATE query will be executed. The PHP code implemented in unsafe edit backend.php file is used to update employee’s profile information.
