3. True or False? The term "e-waste" refers to all waste caused by discarding electronic devices. True. Short for electronic waste, the term e-waste is applied to all waste caused by discarding electronic devices, especially consumer electronics. E-waste is a major concern in areas of personal computing and wireless devices that are quickly discarded by consumers. The lifespan of these electronics are short-lived due to rapid technological advances and lower costs to purchase each year. Consumers generally buy new instead of reusing because their electronic device quickly becomes obsolete or it may be cheaper to purchase a new one. Inkjet printers are an example of a common e-waste problem as consumers believe they cans save money to purchase a new printer with ink than to buy an ink refill for their old one.

4. True or False? A "HonkeyMonkey" is a computer that actively mimics the actions of a user surfing the Web. True. A honeymonkey is a computer or a virtual PC that actively mimics the actions of a user surfing the Web. A series of "monkey programs," which drive a browser in a manner similar to that of a human user, run on virtual machines in order to detect exploit sites. The browsers can be configured to run with fully updated software, or without specific updates in order to look for exploit sites that target specific vulnerabilities. In this manner, the attacks more likely to impact customers can be analyzed and detected.

The Strider HoneyMonkey Exploit Detection System, is a codename for a Microsoft Research project which permits investigators to detect and analyze Web sites hosting malicious code — in particular, code that exploits browser vulnerabilities. At each Web site identified by Strider HoneyMonkey, however, follow-up work is required to identify what kind of exploit exists and how it operates.
