A.

Program Plan Intro

Data movement instructions:

  • The different instructions are been grouped as “instruction classes”.
  • The instructions in a class performs same operation but with different sizes of operand.
  • The “Mov” class denotes data movement instructions that copy data from a source location to a destination.
  • The class has 4 instructions that includes:
    • movb:
      • It copies data from a source location to a destination.
      • It denotes an instruction that operates on 1 byte data size.
    • movw: 
      • It copies data from a source location to a destination.
      • It denotes an instruction that operates on 2 bytes data size.
    • movl:
      • It copies data from a source location to a destination.
      • It denotes an instruction that operates on 4 bytes data size.
    • movq:
      • It copies data from a source location to a destination.
      • It denotes an instruction that operates on 8 bytes data size.

Unary and Binary Operations:

  • The details of unary operations includes:
    • The single operand functions as both source as well as destination.
    • It can either be a memory location or a register.
    • The instruction “incq” causes 8 byte element on stack top to be incremented.
    • The instruction “decq” causes 8 byte element on stack top to be decremented.
  • The details of binary operations includes:
    • The first operand denotes the source.
    • The second operand works as both source as well as destination.
    • The first operand can either be an immediate value, memory location or register.
    • The second operand can either be a register or a memory location.

Jump Instruction:

  • The “jump” instruction causes execution to switch to an entirely new position in program.
  • The “label” indicates jump destinations in assembly code.
  • The “je” instruction denotes “jump if equal” or “jump if zero”.
    • The comparison operation is performed.
    • If result of comparison is either equal or zero, then jump operation takes place.
  • The “ja” instruction denotes “jump if above”.
    • The comparison operation is performed.
    • If result of comparison is greater, then jump operation takes place.
  • The “pop” instruction resumes execution of jump instruction.
  • The “jmpq” instruction jumps to given address. It denotes a direct jump.

What are the major threats of using the internet? How do you use it? How do children use it? How canwe secure it? Provide four references with your answer. Two of the refernces can be from an article and the other two from websites.
Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space character and the string ends with a full stop "." character. Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters. The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However, you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program. .DATA S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid." NAME DB 20 DUP(?) SNAME DB 20 DUP(?) Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
