In order to implement a DNS amplification attack, the attacker must trigger the creation of a sufficiently large volume of DNS response packets from the intermediary to exceed the capacity of the link to the target organization. Consider an attack where the DNS response packets are 1000 bytes in size (ignoring framing overhead).
How many of these packets per second must the attacker trigger to flood a target organization using a 30-Mbps link? A 100-Mbps link? Or a 1-Gbps link?
If the DNS request packet to the intermediary is 60 bytes in size, how much bandwidth does the attacker consume to send the necessary rate of DNS request packets for each of these three cases?

I need the java code for a 4 function calculator app on android studio (do this on android studio) -
The requirements are the following :
- The only buttons needed are 0-9, *, /, +, -, a clear, and enter button
- Implement the onclicklistener on the main activity
- The calcuator should use order of operations (PEMDAS)
- It should be able to continue from a previous answer (Ex: If you type 2+6 the calculator will display 8. If you then multiple by 2 the current result will simply be multiplied by 2)
- It should read the entire sequence of numbers and operators and save them into a String. The information can be read out of the String using a StringTokenizer. The delimiters will be the operators on the calculator.
- The entire mathematical expression will be displayed on the screen before the equal button is clicked.
- The equation will simply be evaluated in the order that the user types in the numbers rather than the precedence
- If the user enters an equation with invalid syntax, the output should display “error”. The calculator should also display “error” for any mathematical calculations that are impossible.

Mastery Problem: Activity-Based Costing
WoolCorp
WoolCorp buys sheep’s wool from farmers. The company began operations in January of this year, and is making decisions on product offerings, pricing, and vendors. The company is also examining its method of assigning overhead to products. You’ve just been hired as a production manager at WoolCorp.
Currently WoolCorp makes two products: (1) raw, clean wool to be used as stuffing or insulation and (2) wool yarn for use in the textile industry.
The company would like you to evaluate its costing methods for its raw wool and wool yarn.
Single Plantwide Rate
WoolCorp is currently using the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, which uses a predetermined overhead rate based on an estimated allocation base such as direct labor hours or machine hours. The rate is computed as follows:
Single Plantwide Factory Overhead Rate = (Total Budgeted Factory Overhead) ÷ (Total Budgeted Plantwide Allocation Base)
WoolCorp has been using combing machine hours as its allocation base.
The company would like to consider activity-based costing. In order to understand their current system better, you evaluate WoolCorp’s current method of costing for raw wool and wool yarn. The production staff has compiled the following information for you on the production of 450 pounds of either raw wool or wool yarn:
Factory Overhead Type |
Budgeted Factory Overhead |
| Sorting | $25,600 |
| Cleaning | 38,400 |
| Combing | 1,400 |
| Raw Wool | Wool Yarn | |
| Hours of combing machine use required | 80 | 20 |
In the following table, use combing machine hours as the allocation base for assigning overhead costs to each product. When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.
Single Plantwide Factory Overhead Rate: $ per combing hour
| Raw Wool | Wool Yarn | |
| Allocated factory overhead cost | $ | $ |
Feedback
Review the single plantwide factory overhead rate method, and allocate the costs using a single plantwide factory overhead rate and the combing hours used by each product.
Activity-Based Costing
In order to compare WoolCorp’s current method with activity-based costing, you interview the production staff and compile the following information, which relates to the costs for raw wool and wool yarn.
| Type of Cost | Activity Base | Total Cost |
| Sorting | Hours of sorting | $25,600 |
| Cleaning | Units of cleaning machine power | 38,400 |
| Combing | Hours of combing machine use | 1,400 |
| Raw Wool | Wool Yarn | |
| Hours of sorting required | 800 | 3,200 |
| Units of cleaning machine power required | 1,800 | 4,200 |
| Hours of combing machine use required | 80 | 20 |
In the following table, compute and enter the activity rate for each of the three activities. If required, round your answers to the nearest cent.
| Activity | Activity Rate | |
| Sorting | $ | per sorting hour |
| Cleaning | $ | per unit of cleaning machine power |
| Combing | $ | per hour of combing machine use |
In the following table, allocate the costs of sorting, cleaning, and combing based on the rates of activity consumed by each product’s process. When required, round your answers to the nearest dollar.
| Raw Wool | Wool Yarn | |
| Sorting cost | $ | $ |
| Cleaning cost | ||
| Combing cost | ||
| Total cost | $ | $ |
