Explanation:
Phishing is the attempt to get information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details commonly through email spoofing and instant messaging that contain links directing the unsuspecting user to enter details at a fake website whose look and feel are almost identical to the legitimate website.
Attempts to deal with phishing include legislation, user training, public awareness, and technical security measures.
Incorrect Answers:
A: A smurf attack is a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack in which an ICMP ECHO REQUEST packet with the victims spoofed source address is sent to the victim's network broadcast address. Each system on the victim's subnet receives an ICMP ECHO REQUEST packet and replies with an ICMP ECHO REPLY packet to the spoof address in the ICMP ECHO REQUEST packet. This floods the victims system, causing it to slow down, freeze, crash, or reboot. This attack does not make use of social engineering, link manipulation or web site forgery techniques.
B: A traffic analysis attack is carried out to uncover information by analyzing traffic patterns on a network.
Traffic padding can be used to counter this kind of attack, in which decoy traffic is sent out over the network to disguise patterns and make it more difficult to uncover them. This attack does not make use of social engineering, link manipulation or web site forgery techniques.
D: An interrupt or denial of service (DoS) attack occurs when an attacker sends multiple service requests to the victim's computer until they eventually overwhelm the system, causing it to freeze, reboot, and ultimately not be able to carry out regular tasks. This attack does not make use of social engineering, link manipulation or web site forgery techniques.

The Pump (M.h. Kang, I.S. Moskowitz, APump for Rapid, Reliable, Secure Communications, The 1st ACM Conference on Computer and Communications Security, Fairfax, VA, 1993) was developed at the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL). It permits information flow in one direction only, from a lower level of security classification or sensitivity to a higher level. It is a convenient approach to multilevel security in that it can be used to put together systems with different security levels.
*Answer "A two-way information flow device" is a distracter.
*Answer "Compartmented Mode Workstation (CMW)", the CMW, refers to windows-based
workstations that require users to work with information at different classification levels. Thus,
users may work with multiple windows with
different classification levels on their workstations. When data is
attempted to be moved from one window to another, mandatory access
control policies are enforced. This prevents information of a higher classification
from being deposited to a location of lower classification.
*Answer "A device that implements role-based access control", role-based access control, is an
access control mechanism and is
now being considered for mandatory access control based on users'
roles in their organizations.

Very long instruction word (VLIW) describes a computer processing architecture in which a language compiler or pre-processor breaks program instruction down into basic operations that can be performed by the processor in parallel (that is, at the same time). These operations are put into a very long instruction word which the processor can then take apart without further analysis, handing each operation to an appropriate functional unit.
The following answer are incorrect: The term "CISC" (complex instruction set computer or computing) refers to computers designed with a full set of computer instructions that were intended to provide needed capabilities in the most efficient way. Later, it was discovered that, by reducing the full set to only the most frequently used instructions, the computer would get more work done in a shorter amount of time for most applications. Intel's Pentium microprocessors are CISC microprocessors.
The PowerPC microprocessor, used in IBM's RISC System/6000 workstation and Macintosh computers, is a RISC microprocessor. RISC takes each of the longer, more complex instructions from a CISC design and reduces it to multiple instructions that are shorter and faster to process. RISC technology has been a staple of mobile devices for decades, but it is now finally poised to take on a serious role in data center servers and server virtualization. The latest RISC processors support virtualization and will change the way computing resources scale to meet workload demands.
A superscalar CPU architecture implements a form of parallelism called instruction level parallelism within a single processor. It therefore allows faster CPU throughput than would otherwise be possible at a given clock rate. A superscalar processor executes more than one instruction during a clock cycle by simultaneously dispatching multiple instructions to redundant functional units on the processor. Each functional unit is not a separate CPU core but an execution resource within a single CPU such as an arithmetic logic unit, a bit shifter, or a multiplier.
