Chооse оne of the following prompts to compose а reаdаble short response of at least 250 words. You may use RELIABLE sources, such as your textbook (not Wikipedia). If it is not cited, you will lose 15 points on this question. Be sure to include the citation(s) at the bottom of your response. You MAY NOT use AI to create a response. There should not be any grammar or mechanics mistakes. Mechanics are the aspects of writing that include spelling, capitalization, and punctuation. Writing Prompts (choose one): Explain the Medici family’s contributions to humanist scholarship and art, providing at least two examples of their patronage. Then debate the merits of a culture that relies on private patronage for the production of art. Identify and explain the symbolism in Botticelli’s Primavera. Analyze the scenes and their arrangement on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, commenting on Michelangelo’s creation of them. Explain witchcraft as a source of concern in the era, discussing, in particular, the Malleus Maleficarum and the misogyny it reflected. Explain how the printing press contributed to the Reformation. Then compare the impact of this technology on religious reform to social media’s contribution to revolutionary movements such as the Arab Spring. Describe the subject, content, and location of Michelangelo’s Last Judgment, and explain the reasons it almost immediately provoked controversy.
Reаl cаse — Netflix CSRF vulnerаbility (USA, 2006; dоcumented by Barth, Jacksоn, Mitchell — Stanfоrd) In 2006, security researchers at Stanford (Adam Barth, Collin Jackson, and John C. Mitchell) analyzed the security of major web services and documented a class of vulnerability they found in Netflix's DVD-by-mail service, among others. At the time, Netflix used HTTP GET requests to perform state-changing actions such as adding a title to a user's queue or modifying the shipping address on file. Because browsers automatically attach session cookies to GET requests for any domain, the researchers demonstrated that any page a logged-in Netflix customer visited could include an element such as , which the browser would load automatically and silently, sending the user's session cookie and causing Netflix to add the title to the user's queue as if the user had requested it. Netflix subsequently patched by requiring a per-request secret token to accompany these actions. Write a structured analysis (roughly 300-450 words) that: (1) names and justifies the primary vulnerability class from the mechanism and explains precisely which browser behavior the attack exploits; (2) distinguishes this attack from stored XSS on two dimensions — what the attacker needs to supply, and what runs in whose context; (3) explains why HTTP GET on state-changing actions made the exploit especially easy to launch via an img tag specifically, and whether switching all those actions to HTTP POST would fix the vulnerability; and (4) explains how Netflix's fix — a per-request secret token — breaks the attack mechanically, what the server must do to enforce it, and names one class of threat the token alone cannot stop. Student tip (not an answer): the most important conceptual anchor is 'automatic cookie attachment.' The browser sends the session cookie with every matching request whether the user clicked something or not, and whether the page that triggered the request is the real Netflix page or an attacker's page. Everything follows from that — why the attack works, why it exploits trust rather than injection, and why a token breaks it (because the token is something the attacker's page cannot read or predict). For the GET vs POST part, be careful: POST is harder to trigger via an img tag but NOT impossible to trigger via a form — so switching methods is not the fix. For the token's limit, think about what scenario still presents a valid token to the server.
