Explanation:

• Question 22:
• Gray - hat: These hackers operate in a moral gray area. They may break into systems for non - malicious reasons like thrill or showing off skills, but they don't have the same malicious intent as black - hats.
• White - hat: These are ethical hackers who break into systems with permission (e.g., for security testing).
• Black - hat: Malicious hackers who break into systems for illegal or harmful purposes (e.g., stealing data, causing damage).
• Blue - hat: Usually refers to someone outside an organization (like a customer) who is used to test security.
• Question 23:
• Forensics: Digital forensics specifically deals with identifying, extracting, preserving, and documenting computer evidence.
• Hacking: Refers to the act of gaining unauthorized access to systems (not about evidence handling).
• Inoculation: Usually related to protecting against something (like a virus in a non - digital context, not relevant here).
• Multi - factor authentication: A security measure for accessing systems (not about evidence).
• Question 24:
• A worm: Spreads independently across networks.
• A time bomb (logic bomb): Activates at a specific time or when certain conditions are met. The Michelangelo virus was a time - bomb virus that was set to activate on March 6 (Michelangelo's birthday).
• A script virus: Written in scripting languages.
• An e - mail virus: Spreads via e - mail.
