You are working as a security analyst in a company xyz that owns the whole subnet range of 23.0.0.0/8 and 192.168.0.0/8. while monitoring the data, you find a high number of outbound connections. you see that ip's owned by xyz (internal) and private ip's are communicating to a single public ip. therefore, the internal ip's are sending data to the public ip. after further analysis, you find out that this public ip is a blacklisted ip, and the internal communicating devices are compromised. what kind of attack does the above scenario depict?

You will be given two character arrays of the same size, one will contain a number of ships. ships will move around the character array based on which way they are facing and the route they are on. routes are given in the other array. the route consists of '-' and '|' for straight paths, '\' and '/' for curves, and '+' for intersections. there are ships on these routes. ships always face a direction, '^' for up, '> ' for right, 'v' for down, and '< ' for left. any time the ships hit a '\' or a '/' it will turn as you would expect a ship to turn (e.g. a '^' that moves into a '/' will turn right). at an intersection, ships will always continue straight through. all ships move at the same speed, ships take turns moving and all ships move during one 'tick'. the one in the most top left goes first, followed by those to its right, then the ones in the next row. it iterates along the rows and then down the columns. each ship moves one space on its turn moving along the route. your function needs to return the position of the first collision between two ships and the number of ticks before the crash occurred.
