  1. Drugs dont make you stupid. I smoke a joint before every cert and still pass, when I dont smoke a joint I fail. Pot helps you concentrate…

  2. Availability Impact (A): This metric measures the impact to the availability of the impacted component resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. While the confidentiality and integrity impact metrics apply to the loss of confidentiality or integrity of data such as information and files used by the impacted component, this metric refers to the loss of availability of the impacted component itself, such as a networked service such as web, database, and email. Because availability refers to the accessibility of information resources, attacks that consume network bandwidth, processor cycles, or disk space all impact the availability of an impacted component.

    Confidentiality and Integrity, versus Availability Impacts
    The Confidentiality and Integrity metrics refer to impacts that affect the data used by the service. For example, web content that has been maliciously altered, or system files that have been stolen. The Availability impact metric refers to the operation of the service. That is, the Availability metric speaks to the performance and operation of the service itself – not the availability of the data. Consider a vulnerability in an Internet service such as web, email, or DNS that allows an attacker to modify or delete all web files in a directory would incur an impact to Integrity only, rather than Availability. The reason is that the web service is still performing properly – it just happens to be serving back altered content

    Answer = C

  4. Availability Impact (A)
    This metric measures the impact to the availability of the impacted component resulting from a successfully exploited vulnerability. While the Confidentiality and Integrity impact metrics apply to the loss of confidentiality or integrity of data (e.g., information, files) used by the impacted component, this metric refers to the loss of availability of the impacted component itself, such as a networked service (e.g., web, database, email). Since availability refers to the accessibility of information resources, attacks that consume network bandwidth, processor cycles, or disk space all impact the availability of an impacted component.
