Vulnerability scanner:

  • Vulnerability scanner is a software program or network appliance that is used to scan the wide range of address present in the network along with their port numbers to avail open services.
  • A form of software application that is designed to validate and monitor the network ports that is available open for different services.
  • Vulnerability scanner is of two types and they are listed below:
    • Active vulnerability scanner.
    • Passive vulnerability scanner.
  • They are used in identifying and detect the vulnerabilities present in the network.
  • It is used in scanning and obtaining the security holes that are present in operating system, network that is open with configuration problem and also the username and password that are exposed.

I need help finishing my python rock paper scissors code, where it asks the user "rock, paper, scissors", the user types either option (repeatedly asks until its one of the three), and for a random option from the code to select also rock paper scissors. The end result would be you winning, code winning, or a tie.My code:import randomOPTIONS = ("ROCK", "PAPER", "SCISSOR") def getInput():    """        Function getInput() will receive and validate user input to be        the string ROCK, PAPER, or SCISSOR.  Input must be spelled correctly        and in all capital letters.  Function will return the validated input         @return user input as ROCK, PAPER, OR SCISSOR    """    #need help here def checkWinner(user, computer):    """        Function checkWinner will accept 2 string parameters that must be unique        values of ROCK, PAPER, or SCISSOR.  Functions should return true if the        string in parameter user beats the string in parameter computer in a game        of rock…
I need help understanding how could I got the IP Address for the 1st Host on this Subnet, the IP Address for the Last Host on this Subnet & the Broadcast Address for this Subnet My Explanation:8 bits --> 17 & 0    128  64  32  16  |  8  4  2  1      0    0    0     1     0  0  0  1  -->17+    0    0    0     0     0  0  0  0  --> 0      0    0    0     0     0  0  0  0  --> 0 (The Major (Base) Network Address): 142.20.33.0 To find the broadcast address, we can set all the bits in the host portion of the address to 1, which gives us 142.20.33.255. Based on the subnet mask 255.255.255.0, no bits were borrowed from the host portion, meaning 8 bits remain in the host portion. Using the formula 2^h – 2 (where h represents the number of host bits), we get 2^8 - 2 = 254 hosts.  8 bits --> 17 & 252       128  64  32  16  |  8  4  2  1        0    0     0     1     0  0  0  1  --> 17+      1    1     1     1     1  1  0  0  --> 252       0    0      0     1…
