Explanation / Answer

(a)

Yes, we have permissions ranging as below:

·        Read

·        Write

·        Execute

Any combination of above can be used. Furthermore, permissions can be categorized per user groups.

--------

(b)

The highest possible permission is inherited by the users.

--------

c)

Share is network based permission while NTFS permissions mentioned in the security tab are for the user groups.

--------

d)

If we are accessing the windows resources using a live linux disc or pen drive, then the resources in the hard disk are used by the user as per the permission given by the linux system. The window system is not even active at this moment.

However if using the windows subsystem (which is present in windows 10 64 bit), the access is dependent on how much windows provides to the linux layer installed inside of it.

--------

e)

Similar to above, it is dependent on windows.

--------

f)

We should encrypt the data in order to properly secure it across all platforms.

--------

g) Even if people do not harm individuals on purpose, there is always a case of accidental damage. So, it is best to secure the systems.
