Question 1

Bootstrapping

Answer 1

Bootstrapping refers to the self-sustaining startup process that occurs when a computer starts or a program is initiated. When a computer system is started, an orchestrated set of activities is begun that includes power-on self-test (POST) routines, boot loaders, and operating system initialization activities. Securing a startup sequence is a challenge— malicious software is known to interrupt the bootstrapping process and insert its own hooks into the operating system.
