Question 1: Compare and contrast FAT, NTFS and ZFS file systems
The FAT file system cannot be used for the storage of large files unlike the ZFS file
system which can.The ZFS file system is the only one that supports duplication the FAT and
NTFS file systems (Carrier, 2005). Both the NTFS and ZFS file systems support journaling,
encrypting and linking. On the other hand, the NTFS file system uses the method of volume
shadow copy to store data which entails the copying of overwritten data that is new to a shadow
copy. This allows a user to access an old file by overwriting the new file but the new file will
still be in the archives and not lost. ZFS file system uses the checksum system to ensure that data
is not corrupted (Reinhold, 2009).

Question 2: Which operating system is most vulnerable to attack? Least vulnerable?
Explain your answer.
Android Os is the most vulnerable because of their denial of service system that enables
the manipulation of their codes hence hacking of their system is easy. The system is not
customized hence users can easily alter the system. Mac is the least vulnerable as it has an
antivirus that has been in built into the system reducing its vulnerability. In addition, the system
has built in programs such as word processor, web browser and email client hence introducing
foreign programs is hard. The users using this operating system are few, therefore no efforts have
been made in researching about its vulnerabilities and how to penetrate the system (Parsons,
2017).
