Chapter 4, Problem 1ARQ
Explanation of Solution
Need of business professional to know about computer hardware:
The business professional must be well savvy with the basic computer hardware components and the various units of bytes that has been used to size the computer hardware which are useful for doing the work that saves time in many different ways that are explained as follows:
Primary hardware components:
- The Primary hardware components are consisting of many electronics components that are existing in the form of input devices, output, storage to keep the data and instruction for future and the computer components or software programs to store the instructions.
- The main hardware component for any computer is the Central Processing Unit (CPU) that is also known as the Brain of the computer, for performing all the activities and execution of instructions.
- The CPU can be able to perform all the given instructions that might be in the form of Arithmetic and Logical Instructions for performing arithmetic operations and logical comparisons and then store the result in the memory.
- Computer contains storage devices for storing the data and to save instructions and programs, in the magnetic disk or in the computer hard disk for storing the data permanently.
- Optical storage devices such as CD (Compact Disk) or DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) can also be used for storing the data and as a medium for transferring the data from one computer to another.
Types of hardware:
- The hardware type can be any of the form of personal Computers including the desktop and laptops such as Apple Mac pro that is considered one of the modern personal computers.
- Other types of the hardware might be in the form of tablets including the e-book readers such as iPads, Kindle Fire, Microsoft announced Surface etc...

Commit:
John's query willreturn the same results all three times it is executed as they are run in the same session.
John's queries run at10:16 and10:20 produce the same result, which is different from the one at 10:14
John's query run at 10:16 waits until 10:18 to produce results, waiting for the commit to happen.
John's queries run at 10:14 and 10:16 produce the same result, which is different from the one at 10:20

Word FrequencyWrite a program that reads the contents of a text file. The program should create a dictio-nary in which the keys are the individual words found in the file and the values are the number of times each word appears. For example, if the word “the” appears 128 times, the dictionary would contain an element with 'the' as the key and 128 as the value. The program should either display the frequency of each word or create a second file containing a list of each word and its frequency.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardReturns an US standard formatted phone number, in the format of (xxx) xxx-xxxx the AreaCode, Prefix and number being each part in order.

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:arrow_forward
- 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.
