Three ways the user can share the Access application with another:
Share data by using network folders:
- This is the simplest option and has the least requirement. In this method, the
database file is stored on a shared network drive and all users can use that file at a time. - Advantage – all the users can use that file simultaneously.
- Disadvantage – the original data can be modified because of multiple users use that file simultaneously.
Share a database by using a server:
- This method is store the tables on the network and each user has local copy of a database file which contains links to the tables, along with forms, quires, objects and reports...

This problem tests your understanding of the program stack. 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:
1234
3. Which line prevents compiler optimization? Circle one: 1234
Suggested solution:
Store strlen(str) in a variable before the if statement.
⚫ Remove the if statement.
Replace index 0 && index < strlen(str)) {
5 }
}
=
str [index] = val;

Now consider what happens on a Linux/x86 machine when callfoo calls foo with
the input string "ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA".
A. On the left draw the state of the stack just before the execution of the instruction
at address Ox40053a; make sure to show the frames for callfoo and foo and
the exact return address, in Hex at the bottom of the callfoo frame.
Then, on the right, draw the state of the stack just after the instruction got
executed; make sure to show where the string "ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA"
is placed and what part, if any, of the above return address has been overwritten.
B. Immediately after the ret instruction at address 0x400543 executes, what is
the value of the program counter register %rip?…

- 123456 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.
