Module Three ScenarioSouthern New Hampshire University IT 549: Foundation in Info Assurance 02:11:31 GMT -05:00Module Three ScenarioScenario’s1. Alice sends a password, and Bob compares it against a database of passwords.2. Alice sends a password, and Bob hashes it and compares it against a database of hashed passwords.3. Alice computes the hash of a password and uses it as secret key in challenge/response protocol.4. Alice computes the hash of a password and sends it to Bob, who hashes it and compares it against a database of doubly-hashed passwords.Answers1. If Alice were to send Bob a plain text password it would be open to multiple attack types.Threat Actors can easily attempt to Brute Force this password as it is not hashed or encrypted depending on password length it can take little to no time to break. Another attack vector can be a “Man-in-the-middle” attack where the packet containing the plain text password is intercepted during transit. As there is no protection with the given password this will be fairly easy.For this scenario without changing the fact that Alice is sending Bob a plain text password the best method for remedy is to use a VPN
