Explanation:
A company that allows employees to work in the middle of the night: This is not inherently a vulnerability. It could pose a risk if it is not managed properly (e.g., if employees are not monitored or if access controls are weaker), but in itself, it doesn't constitute a vulnerability.
Saving classified documents on unmarked mobile devices: This is a vulnerability because unmarked mobile devices can be easily lost, stolen, or misused, leading to a potential data breach. The lack of security measures around sensitive information presents a security flaw.
Failure to check input in functions: This is a vulnerability that could lead to various exploits such as injection attacks (SQL injection, command injection, etc.), buffer overflows, or other issues. Input validation is crucial for security.

Static Analysis is a technique used to analyze a program or a file without executing it. It usually involves examining the code, structure, and other static properties.
Strings, File metadata, Exports, and Imports are typically checked during static analysis because they can be retrieved without running the file:
Strings can reveal information embedded in the file.
File metadata (such as timestamps, author information, etc.) can provide insights about the file's origin or modification history.
Exports and Imports are crucial for understanding the functions or libraries the program is interacting with.
Executed commands, however, are not typically analyzed during static analysis because they require the program to be run. Instead, executed commands are often captured during Dynamic Analysis, which involves observing the program in execution.
Thus, executed commands are not typically part of static analysis.

Use of password only and not 2-way verification:
While not using 2-factor authentication (2FA) increases risk, it does not necessarily constitute a clear vulnerability. It would be considered a security weakness or bad practice, but not necessarily a vulnerability by itself. This is why it's likely not included in the final answer.
Using telnet to configure the system:
Vulnerability: Telnet transmits data, including passwords, in plain text, making it susceptible to eavesdropping. It’s a known security risk, especially when configuring systems remotely. More secure alternatives like SSH should be used.
Failure to keep activity logs:
Vulnerability: Without activity logs, tracking unauthorized access or detecting security breaches becomes difficult. It is a significant vulnerability, as you would have no evidence of suspicious activity or intrusions.
Using default passwords on networked devices:
Vulnerability: Default passwords are well-known and easily exploitable by attackers. Failure to change default passwords is a classic security vulnerability.
Answer 2, 3, 4:
This suggests that the most severe vulnerabilities identified are those in answers 2, 3, and 4. All three involve clear, well-established vulnerabilities in system security.
Everything:
This would imply that all the items listed are vulnerabilities. However, as mentioned earlier, not using 2FA is more of a bad practice than a direct vulnerability, which is likely why this was not the correct answer.

Let's break down the problem and explain why the correct answer is as follows:
Understanding DES-5 System:
The encryption for DES-5 is structured as:
𝐶
=
DEC
𝐾
1
(
ENC
𝐾
2
(
ENC
𝐾
3
(
DEC
𝐾
4
(
ENC
𝐾
5
(
𝑀
)
)
)
)
)
C=DEC
K1
(ENC
K2
(ENC
K3
(DEC
K4
(ENC
K5
(M)))))
Given:
K2 = K3 and K4 = K5, this reduces the system to 3 unique keys:
𝐾
1
K1,
𝐾
2
/
𝐾
3
K2/K3, and
𝐾
4
/
𝐾
5
K4/K5.
Since each key is 56 bits, brute-forcing a single key requires testing

possible keys.
For DES-5, with 3 unique keys to brute-force, the total number of combinations is:
Time complexity for DES-5
=
𝑂

(

=

(

)
=
𝑂
(

)
Time complexity for DES-5=O(2
56
)×O(2
56
)×O(2
56
)=O(2
3×56
)=O(2
168
)
Thus, the brute-force time complexity for DES-5 is O(2^168).
Understanding DES-2 System:
For the DES-2 system, it uses 2 unknown keys, each 56 bits long. To brute-force both keys, you would have to try all combinations of the two keys, resulting in a time complexity of:
Time complexity for DES-2
=
𝑂
(
2

)

𝑂
(
2

)
=

(

(

)
Time complexity for DES-2=O(2
56
)×O(2
56
)=O(2
2×56
)=O(2
112
)
Thus, the brute-force time complexity for DES-2 is O(2^112).
Answer:
Method A (DES-5) has a brute-force time complexity of O(2^{168}), or O(2^{3 \times 56}).
Method B (DES-2) has a brute-force time complexity of O(2^{112}), or O(2^{2 \times 56}).
This matches the correct answer:
Method A: O(2^{3 \times 56})
Method B: O(2^{2 \times 56})

A. Always use the same key:
This is incorrect because while CBC does use the same key for all blocks in a single session, it's not considered an advantage specific to CBC. Reusing the same key over multiple sessions can be insecure if not paired with an initialization vector (IV) for each message.
B. In decoding, an error in the information in a block will not affect any other block:
This is incorrect. In CBC, if there's an error in one block, it propagates to subsequent blocks during decryption. This is known as error propagation. So, an error in one block can affect other blocks.
C. Encryption of one block does not depend on the next block and this is an advantage in security:
This is incorrect because, in CBC, each block's encryption depends on the previous block (and the IV for the first block). This interdependence provides some security benefits, but this description does not apply to CBC.
Real Advantage of CBC:
One of the key advantages of CBC is that the same plaintext block will encrypt to different ciphertexts if it appears in different positions in the message, due to the XOR with the previous block's ciphertext. This ensures more secure encryption compared to modes like Electronic Codebook (ECB).
Since none of the provided answers describe CBC correctly, D (Neither answer is correct) is the appropriate choice.
