Selected Answer: C

Organized crime. They are highly skilled and possess more sophisticated tools to carry out large scale attacks on another
country. Their motive is largely for politcal interest. This sort of attack is mostly carried out by a nation-state actor.

D. Salting
Salting involves adding random data to the input of a one-way hash function to ensure that the same input will produce
different hash values, thus making it more difficult for attackers to use precomputed hash tables (rainbow tables) to reverse
engineer the original input.

Selected Answer: D

Key stretching is used for weak keys, it will hash the pw, then hash that, then hash the hash of the hash and so forth. Makes the
cracking process longer for the attacker
Salting is adding random or unique extra character to the password so when cracked it is not the actual PW the attacker thinks

Selected Answer: A

Enhancing the security of a password or key to make it harder and time consuming before it is processed by a one-way data
transformation algorithm (such as a hash function). With more resistant to brute-force attacks.

yes sirr.... Salting involves adding random data to the input of a one-way hash function to ensure that the same input will
produce different hash values, thus making it more difficult for attackers to use precomputed hash tables or rainbow tables to
do reverse engineer the original input.
