To answer this question, you need to understand what ASLR (Address Space Layout Randomization) and DEP (Data Execution Prevention) are and what types of attacks they are effective against. Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:

Option A) Server Misconfigurations - ASLR and DEP are not specifically designed to counter server misconfigurations. Although they can add an extra layer of security, they are not primarily targeted at addressing misconfigurations.

Option B) Buffer Overflow - This option is incorrect. ASLR and DEP are specifically designed to counter buffer overflow attacks. ASLR randomizes the memory layout, making it difficult for an attacker to predict the location of certain functions or variables. DEP prevents the execution of code in certain regions of memory, making it harder for an attacker to exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability.

Option C) Brute Force Attacks - This option is incorrect. ASLR and DEP are not designed to counter brute force attacks. Brute force attacks involve trying all possible combinations of passwords or encryption keys until the correct one is found. ASLR and DEP do not directly address this type of attack.

Option D) None of the above - This option is incorrect. ASLR and DEP are effective countermeasures against buffer overflow attacks.

The correct answer is B) Buffer Overflow. This option is correct because ASLR and DEP are designed to counter buffer overflow attacks by randomizing memory layout and preventing the execution of code in certain regions of memory, respectively.

To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of input validation and the potential risks associated with not performing proper input validation.

Input validation is the process of verifying and validating user input to ensure that it meets certain criteria or constraints. It is an important security measure to prevent malicious or unexpected inputs from causing vulnerabilities in the code.

In this scenario, Tina is working on a multi-threaded application where users can specify the duration for which the threads may be put to sleep. If Tina does not perform any input validation, it means that she does not check or sanitize the user input for this duration.

The lack of input validation in this case can expose Tina's code to Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. A Denial of Service attack is a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal functioning of a system or network by overwhelming it with a flood of illegitimate requests or by exploiting vulnerabilities in the system.

By allowing users to specify an arbitrary duration for thread sleep without proper validation, an attacker could potentially input a very large or infinite duration, causing the threads to sleep for an extended period of time or indefinitely. This could lead to resource exhaustion, where the system becomes overwhelmed and unable to handle legitimate requests, ultimately causing a Denial of Service.

Therefore, the correct answer is C) Denial of Service.
