The Cognitive Approach to Sleep

Definition/Explanation:

The cognitive approach views sleep as something that facilitates information processing. Sleep is used to secure information gathered during the day in long-term memory. Memories and learning are moved to long-term storage during sleep.

According to the cognitive approach, dreams are not meaningless. In fact, they are essential points of our problem-solving process and allow information to be synthesized and recombined to gain insight.

Domhoff (2011) argued that dreams are what occur when the mind doesn't have anything else to do.

This story is about what happened in a park to me and some friends.

This was a summer night, we were some friends gathered in a park to celebrate some good news, when we were swinging, a very sinister woman appeared, who began to look at us for a long time without moving. Our side, just as we wanted to talk to her, she just smiled at us. So scared we were, we ran away and she immediately began to chase us. When everything was calmer we went to some chairs placed near where we were but the girl reappeared behind us.We, scared to death, wanted to leave and went to a friend’s house to dismiss her so that she would not see us.

Vulnerabilities in Von Neumann Architecture

The system architect of the von Neumann is the way that it can allow direct memory access to the low level languages like C and C++.

If the program goes and tries to access the memory out of bound by allocating code injection to the system, it allows the system to access the memory out of the stack which causes buffer overflow and the attacker can access the other memory from the allocated stack. This way an attacker can get access to the system. Therefore von Neumann architecture is vulnerable to code injection, the effect of the buffer overflow.

Understanding Threats and Attacks

Threats

• It is a potential security violation that might exploit vulnerability of the system or assets.
• Threats can be accidental,
