Program Plan Intro
Given Information:
Bob joins a BitTorrent torrent. Bob does not want to upload any data to other peers which is called free riding.
Bob claims that he can further make his “free-riding” more efficient by using a collection of multiple computers with distinct IP addresses in the computer lab in his department.

Https is a protocol used to secure websites from being tampered with by other parties without proper authorization. it bridges the gap between sender and receiver.Using protocols like secure socket layer/TLS, HTTPS encrypts data sent over the internet, making it unreadable to anybody who shouldn't have it.This prevents a "man in the middle" assault on the system.Such assaults intercept messages before they reach their intended recipient.It then transmits the revised information to the user.It guarantees the server's authenticity, too.
In the BitTorrent P2P file distribution protocol, the seed breaks the file into blocks, and the peers redistribute the blocks to each other. Without any protection, an attacker can easily wreak havoc in a torrent by masquerading as a benevolent peer and sending bogus blocks to a small subset of peers in the torrent. These unsuspecting peers then redistribute the bogus blocks to other peers, which in turn redistribute the bogus blocks to even more peers. Thus, it is critical for BitTorrent to have a mechanism that allows a peer to verify the integrity of a block, so that it doesn’t redistribute bogus blocks. Assume that when a peer joins a torrent, it initially gets a .torrent file from a fully trusted source. Describe a simple scheme that allows peers to verify the integrity of blocks.
The token bucket algorithm is a popular method for traffic shaping (recapthe algorithm in textbook Ch. 5.3.2). A computer uses a token bucket with a capacity of 400megabytes (MB), and a rate of 10 MB per second. The machine starts generating 20 MB persecond continuously when the bucket contains 200 MB. How long will it take to send 1000 MB?

- Consider a piece of software that enables a surgeon in one location to participate in a surgery on a patient in another city through the internet. Who could be interested in watching the show? What kind of harm do they want to inflict? What flaws would they try to exploit in order to do you harm? Is it possible that such flaws might inflict harm even if there isn't an active, hostile enemy attempting to exploit them?arrow_forwardThe Caesar Cipher Algorithm was introduced in Week #1. Encryption is the act of encoding a message with the intent of allowing only authorized people the knowledge of how to read that message. An encrypted message can be decoded, allowing the secured content to be read after decryption. Recall that the Caesar Cipher uses alphabets as the primary source of information but shifted a certain number of letters to the left or right as a key to create the encrypted data. The Caesar Cipher is easily hacked because of the simple technique used to build the key that encrypts and decrypts the data. In this lab, the key is the number of alphabets shifted, and the direction is always toward the increasing alphabetical order. This provides 26 ways of encrypting a message and therefore makes it easier to be hacked by guessing the key within the range of 0 - 25. Write the function caesar_hack( ) that takes three parameters: a Caesar Cipher encrypted message, an alphabet list, and the original…arrow_forwardThe Caesar Cipher Algorithm was introduced in Week #1.
