When a user is unable to access shared drives from a company-issued laptop while working from home, the likely requirement is:

VPN (Virtual Private Network): A VPN allows secure access to the company’s network from a remote location. Without a VPN connection, the user cannot access network resources such as shared drives.

IPv6: Involves IP addressing and is not directly related to accessing shared drives.

IPS (Intrusion Prevention System): Provides network security but does not facilitate access to shared drives.

DNS: Manages domain name resolution and is not typically the issue when specific shared drives are inaccessible.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) (Option C) allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by users. When the user visits the compromised site, the script runs in the user's browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal data or perform unauthorized actions. XSS is a common vulnerability in web applications that allows code execution.

DoS (Option A) disrupts services but doesn't involve executing code on a user's device.

Spoofing (Option B) involves impersonating another device or user but doesn't execute code.

SQL injection (Option D) attacks a database and is unrelated to executing code on the user's computer.

The .dmg file type in macOS requires mounting before installation. .dmg files are disk image files used to distribute software on macOS. When opened, they mount a virtual disk on the desktop, from which the application can be installed. Other file types like .pkg, .zip, and .app have different processes for installation and do not require mounting in the same way.

To confirm whether a network printer has connectivity issues, the technician should use:

ping: This command checks the connectivity to the printer by sending packets and measuring the response time. It helps determine if the printer is reachable on the network.

netstat: Provides statistics and current network connections but does not directly confirm connectivity to a specific device.

net: Used for network resources management but not specifically for checking connectivity.

nslookup: Used for querying DNS to obtain domain name or IP address mapping, not for checking connectivity.
