Parallel and Distributed Computing Models Explained
Parallel and Distributed Programming Models
Parallel Programming Models
Shared Memory Model: Allows all processors to use the same memory space.
Distributed Memory Model: Uses separate memory for each processor and relies on message passing.
Data Parallelism: Applies the same operation to many data items at once.
Task Parallelism: Runs different tasks in parallel on possibly different data.
Distributed Programming Models
- Client-Server Model: Involves clients requesting services and servers providing them.

Explain the use of scanf() and printf() with examples
#include <stdio.H>
int main() {
int a = 10;
float b = 5.5;
printf(“The value of a is %d and b is %.2f\n”, a, b);
return 0;
}
The value of a is 10 and b is 5.50
#include <stdio.H>
int main() {
int age;
printf(“Enter your age: “);
scanf(“%d”, &age);
printf(“You are %d years old.\n”, age);
return 0;
} , You are 21 years old.
Explain the following types of function arguments

This cheat sheet covers essential commands for system navigation, file management, user administration, and networking in Kali Linux, spanning foundational concepts (Lessons 1-2) and more advanced topics (Lessons 3-4).
System Information and Navigation
| Concept | Command / Info | Key Point |
|---|---|---|
| OS Info | uname -a | Show kernel, version, and architecture |
| Hostname | hostname | Show the system’s hostname (L3-4) |
| List files | ls, ls -l, ls -als | -l = detailed listing, -a = show hidden files |
| Manual | man <cmd> | View command help documentation |
System Programming Fundamentals: Linking, Memory, and Concurrency
Linking
- The linker is unaware of local variables that exist only within functions.
- Local variables with the same name as global variables follow their local scope.
Symbol Types in Linking
Global Symbols
- Symbols defined by module
m(e.g.,m.cpp) that can be referenced by other modules. - Includes non-static C functions and non-static global variables.
External Symbols
- Global symbols referenced by module
mbut defined by some other module.
Local Symbols
- Symbols defined and referenced exclusively by module
m. - Includes
Implementing Hash Tables with Chaining and Linear Probing
Hash Function Implementation
def hash_func(key, size):
return sum(ord(c) for c in key) % size
Hash Table with Chaining
class HashTableChaining:
def __init__(self, size):
self.table = [[] for _ in range(size)]
self.comparisons = 0
Insert Method
def insert(self, name, number):
index = hash_func(name, len(self.table))
self.table[index].append((name, number))
Search Method
def search(self, name):
index = hash_func(name, len(self.table))

Malware Types and Cyber Attack Defense Strategies
Malware: Malicious Software Defined
Malware is malicious software designed to disrupt systems, steal information, or gain unauthorized access. The primary goals of malware include:
- Disruption: Shutting down processes or freezing systems.
- Data Theft: Exfiltrating sensitive data like passwords.
- Unauthorized Access: Providing attackers with a secret entry point.
- Covert Control: Enabling remote command and control (C&C) operations, often forming botnets.
The fundamental concept of malware has remained
