Explanation of Solution

Hash Function:

  • Consider the case of searching an array for a given value. If the array is not sorted, then the process takes more time to search an element.
  • Whereas, if the array is sorted, by using binary search the worst case runtime complexity can be reduced to O(log n) .
  • The searching process can be made even faster if the index of the value is known.
  • Therefore, the function that tells the index value has to be used to reduce the search to just one probe, giving a constant runtime O(1) .
  • Such a function is called as a hash function.
  • A hash function is a function that generates an address in the table when a key is given.

Example:

Consider an example of a book call number. Each book in the library will be having a unique call number, which tells where the book is placed in the library

Objective: The objective of this assignment is to gain practice with pen testing a live web application running on a remote server. The live web application is a known vulnerable web application called DVWA (Damn Vulnerable Web Application) with security settings set to low. The web app is running on an AWS EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instance running Ubuntu 22. Note: The point of this assignment is to step it up a notch, we learnt about different web application vulnerabilities and applied that knowledge, now we are going to pen test and enumerable the vulnerabilities of a web app + the underlying infrastructure it is running on. Before you begin please find out what your IP address is and place it in this sheet so that I can track who is doing what: IP Addresses.docx . Tasks: 1- Start by connecting to the target, I did not install a TLS certificate on purpose that is why you are going to connect via http and not via https: http://3.99.221.134/dvwa/login.php 2- Broken Authentication:…
