Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 0, Problem 12SI
Explanation of Solution
To choose the era of history to live with the help of Time machine:
I would like to live in that period of history in which there is no deforestation, no pollution and war.
I would cherish to live in an era where people connect together by spending time together rather than on social platforms, and in an era where there is no overexploitation of natural resources.
I would like to live where there is less population, love between humans and the environment is conducive for health.
The technologies that I would like to take back from modern times:
- Medical treatment: I would like to take modern medical technologies, the medicines and surgical equipments and labs that help humans to save lives.
- Smartphones: I would like to use smartphones for location tracking and for better communication.
- Computers and internet: I would like to have information shared across globally within a click. Therefore, I would like to take computer technologies.
Independent choice of technologies:
“No”, the choice of one technology cannot be taken without taking others because the growth of technology is always related to each other. One technology supports the other.
The technology used in smartphones is supported by growth of semiconductor industry, batteries and display screens.
The medical technology thrives on industries to make equipment, to design surgical equipment and to set up factories to make medicines.
Therefore, one technology can’t be taken without taking the others.
There is a very thin line of separation between the technologies since each technology leads to development of other technology.
“Yes”, it is somewhat consistent to accept modern treatment while protesting against global warming. The deforestation can be stopped; the over-exploitation of natural resources can be regulated. New and modern equipment can be designed in such a way that they are energy efficient and thrive on green technologies.

Now unmount the filesystem.
Create a sparse image file, called book.img, of the 2GiB hard drive.
Use a hexdump program to look at book.img and work out the offsets that store the contents of the
book youdownloaded. Record the offsets as a sequence of one or more ranges of hexadecimal
numbers. For example, in the following hexdump the text The rain in Spain falls mainly on the
plain. is stored at 0x10-0x1f, 0x30-0x4b (inclusive).

Task 4: Examine floppy.img
Mount floppy.img at a suitable mountpoint inside your VM.
Look inside the mountpoint directory. You should see a number of files in the top-level directory.
Look inside your answers2.json at the strings labelled contentA and contentB. Exactly one of those two strings
appears as the content of a file in the floppy disk's filesystem. I.e., there is a file that contains contentA or a file
that contains contentB but not both.
Additionally, the other string has been written into unused space of the floppy disk, so the data is in floppy.img
but cannot be seen inside any of the files at the mountpoint. However it can be seen in a hexdump of floppy.img.
I.e., if there is a file that contains contentA then contentB has been written into unused space.
You must search through your mountpoint directory to find out which of contentA and contentB is stored in a file
of the filesystem and which is stored in unused space. Suppose that contentA is stored in a file, and…

Can you deduce (guess) what the network subnet masks are? Explain while providing subnet mask bits for each subnet mask. [Hint: Look at the addresses in binary and consider the host ids] To assume that the network addresses are correct, we take a look at the network ID and IP addresses. Take 20.0.0.0/8, we have an /8 prefix which is Class A, that provide us with 255.0.0.0. This means that there are 24 host bits while the network bits are 8. When compared to the IP address 20.255.0.7, we can perform an additional operation with the subnet mask giving us 20.0.0.0. The same happened with 20.0.0.89, which we also got 20.0.0.0. Therefore, these two IP addresses fall within the respective /8 subnet. For 200.100.10.0/30, the /30 is Class C with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252, meaning 30 network bits and only two host bits.

Can you deduce (guess) what the network subnet masks are? Explain while providing subnet mask bits for each subnet mask. [Hint: Look at the addresses in binary and consider the host ids]arrow_forwardI would like to know if my answer statment is correct? My answer: The main difference is how routes are created and maintained across different networks. Static routing establishes router connections to different networks from the far left and far right. The Dynamic routing focus emphasizes immediate connection within the router while ignoring the other connections from different networks. Furthermore, the static routing uses the subnet mask to define networks such as 25.0.0.0/8, 129.60.0.0/16, and 200.100.10.0/30, which correspond to 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0, and 255.255.255.252. On the other hand, dynamic routing uses the wildcard mask to inverse the subnet mask, where network bits become 0 and host bits become 1, giving us 0.0.0.255, 0.0.255.255, and 0.0.0.3. Most importantly, the CLI commands used for Static and Dynamic routing are also different. For static routing, the “IP route” corresponds with the network, subnet mask, and next-hop IP address. In contrast, dynamic routing uses…arrow_forward
