Question

1. a hacker group hacked into the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system to protest BART’s shut down of wireless communication in some
BART stations. Was this a form of hacktivism? Was it ethical? Give reasons.

2. Describe a (hypothetical) hacking attack by a foreign government that you would consider an act of war. Indicate what characteristics of the attack lead to that conclusion.

3. we gave an analogy between merchants accepting some amount of shoplifting,on the one hand, and merchants and credit card companies accepting some amount of credit card fraud, on the other hand. Identify a strength and a weakness of this analogy.

4. Identify several issues raised by this scenario:

Someone in California posts on amazon.com a very critical review of a new book written by a British author. The review says the writer is an incompentent fool without a single good idea; he can’t even express the bad ideas clearly and probably did not graduate from grade school; he should be washing dishes instead of wasting paper and the reader’s time.The author sues the reviewer and Amazon for libel.

5. Suppose a 16-year old release automatic-dialing software that will flood the emergency 911 telephone system with calls, knocking out service. He claims he was experimenting with the software and released it by accident. What penalty do you think is appropriate?

6. I have a message M=32 that I want to encrypt. Given the two prime numbers, p=5 and q=11, find the public key and private key. Then encrypt the message. Hint: When using brute force search to determine the keys, just pick the first one (lowest number) that works

Explanation / Answer

package com;
public class ArraySortedPolynomial implements PolynomialInterface

{

ArraySortedPolynomial()

{

}

ArraySortedPolynomial(String pol)

{

}

@Override

public PolynomialInterface add(PolynomialInterface other) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return null;

}

@Override

public PolynomialInterface subtract(PolynomialInterface other) {

// TODO Auto-generated method stub

return null;

}

}
