Question 1

Describe a malware attack that causes the victim to receive physical advertisement.

Question 2

Suppose that a metamorphic virus, DoomShift, is 99% useless bytes and 1% useful bytes. Unfortuntely, DoomShift has infected the Loginprogram on your Unix system and increased its seize from 54K bytes to 1054K bytes;hence, 1,000K bytes of login program now consists of the DoomShiftviruss. Barb has a cleanup program, DoomSweap, that is able to prune away the useless bytes of the Doomshift virus, so that in any infected file it will consist of 98% useless bytes and 2% useful bytes. If you apply DoomSweep to the infected login program, what will be its new size?

Question 3

Show how to defend against the DOS attack of Exercise C5-10.

You are the system administrator for an provider that owns a large network (eg. At least 64,000 IP addresses). Show how you can use SYN cookies to perform DOS attack on a web server.

Question 6

Describe a modification to the random port scan, as describe in previous exercise, so that it still use a randomly generated sequence of port numbers but will now have exactly the same number of attempted TCP connections as a sequential port scan.

Question 7

Describe a method for protecting users against URL obfuscation attacks.

Question 8
