C sounds off to me, drivers aren't stored on devices like that.

B is definitely wrong, BIOS doesn't handle everything.

Thurman 12 months ago

Wait, are you saying drivers aren't run by users? That's surprising!

Antonio 12 months ago

Totally agree with E! That's how it works.

Drivers are either compiled into the Linux kernel or are loaded as kernel modules.

I vaguely recall something about BIOS handling hardware, but I don't think that's the whole story for Linux. B seems off.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think the kernel handles drivers in a specific way, so E sounds right to me.

Mee 1 year ago

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like drivers aren't just regular programs that users run. That makes me doubt A.

Denny 1 year ago

I think I remember that drivers are actually part of the kernel or can be loaded as modules, so maybe E is correct?

This question seems straightforward. I think the key is to create an execution path policy that allows iexplore.exe to run only from the specified directory.

I'm leaning towards potential implementation barriers as the most critical factor. If there are major technical or organizational hurdles, that could make or break the whole policy.

There was a practice question that mentioned databases and secret data, but I'm not sure that entirely fits the definition.

This feels similar to that practice question about interference in medical environments. I think non-Wi-Fi interference is a strong possibility, but I can't recall specifics.
