Program Description Answer

The sorting is a type of algorithm which arranges the value in particular order.

Hence, the correct answer is option “B”.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Sorting:

When contents of the array being arranged in the particular order is called as sorting. The order of arranging the contents can be ascending or descending order.

Types of sorting:

  • Bubble sort
  • Selection sort
  • Insertion sort
  • Merge sort
  • Quick sort
  • Shell sort
  • Heap sort

These sort have the possibility of sorting the array in both ascending and descending order.

Ascending order:

When the elements present in the array are sorted from the lowest to highest is called as ascending order.

Example:

Consider the elements of array that are present in the ascending order below:

2, 4, 6, 8, 10… 20

Descending order:

When the elements present in the array are sorted from the highest to lowest is called as descending order.

Example:

Consider the elements of array that are present in the descending order below:

55, 45, 40, 35, 30 … 10

Explanation for incorrect options:

Search Algorithm:

The “searching” algorithm the process of searching for a particular element that is present in the array.

Hence, the option “A” is wrong.

Ordering Algorithm:

The term “ordering algorithm” is not an valid algorithm.

Hence, the option “C” is wrong.

Selection Algorithm:

The term “selection algorithm” finds the kth smallest number in a list or array.

Hence, the option “D” is wrong.

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.
