Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A security hole, also known as a vulnerability, is a weakness in a software program that can be exploited by hackers to gain unauthorized access or cause damage. DNS (Domain Name System) is a system used to translate domain names into IP addresses. A worm is a type of malware that replicates itself and spreads through a computer network. A firewall is a security system that monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic. While it can help prevent security holes, it is not itself a method for gaining access to code or information.
