What does a 'man-in-the-middle' attack typically aim to achieve in advanced internet security?
Answer:
To secretly intercept and alter communications between two parties.
A man-in-the-middle (MITM) attack involves an attacker secretly relaying and possibly altering the communication between two parties who believe they are communicating directly with each other. This allows the attacker to eavesdrop or manipulate the data exchange.
992
Which protocol is primarily used for real-time communication over the internet, such as voice and video calls?
Answer:
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol)
RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is designed to handle the transmission of real-time data, like audio and video streams, over IP networks. It provides features such as sequence numbering and timestamping to assist with reordering and synchronization.
993
The primary provider of \_\_ is the local cable TV company.
Answer:
Broadband
Cable companies are major providers of broadband internet access, typically delivered over coaxial cable networks.
994
Arrangement of Computer is called?
Answer:

995
The receive equalizer reduces signal delay distortion using:
Answer:
Tapped delay lines
Tapped delay lines are used in equalizers to correct delay distortion.
996
Which type of media carries electromagnetic waves without a physical conductor?
Answer:
Unguided

997
What is the term for a network topology that combines multiple topologies?
Answer:
Hybrid
A hybrid topology is a network topology that integrates two or more different standard topologies, such as a star-bus or star-ring topology. This is done to leverage the advantages of different topology types in a single network.
998
What does MODEM stand for?
Answer:
Modulator And Demodulator
MODEM is a portmanteau of Modulator-Demodulator. It is a hardware device that converts digital data from a computer into an analog signal that can be transmitted over a telephone line (modulation) and converts incoming analog signals back into digital data (demodulation).
999
