You are working as a security analyst in a company xyz that owns the whole subnet range of 23.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/8. while monitoring the data, you find a high number of outbound connections. you see that ip's owned by xyz (internal) and private ip's are communicating to a single public ip. therefore, the internal ip's are sending data to the public ip. after further analysis, you find out that this public ip is a blacklisted ip, and the internal communicating devices are compromised. what kind of attack does the above scenario depict?

Consider a direct-mapped cache with 216 words in main memory. the cache has 16 blocks of 8 words each. it is a word-addressable computer (rather than a byte-addressable computer which we normally discuss). (a) how many blocks of main memory are there? (b) what is the format of a memory address as seen by the cache, that is, what are the sizes of the tag, cache block, and block offset fields (if they apply)? (c) to which cache block will the memory reference db6316 map?
