Explanation of Solution

Sniffer attack:

In terms of network security, sniffer attack is a method of stealing the data or capturing the network packets with the help of sniffer. During the transmission of data across the network, it is necessary to encrypt the data packets because the data can be read using sniffer, if the data packets are not encrypted. With the help of sniffer application an attacker can easily gain the information in the network and then crash the network.

Steps that make sniffer attack a successful one:

  • The attacker can gain access only after getting inside the network.
  • The attacker gets the control over the device through the network...

Scenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…
