What is handshaking in the area of network communication ?
- A.
Two technicians Closing a deal
- B.
2 modems connecting
- C.
2 modems exchanging inforamtion
Correct Answer
C. 2 modems exchanging inforamtionExplanation
Handshaking in the area of network communication refers to the process where two modems exchange information to establish a connection. It involves a series of signals and protocols to ensure that both devices are ready and compatible to communicate with each other. This exchange of information allows the modems to negotiate parameters such as data transfer speed and error control methods. Once the handshaking process is completed successfully, the modems can begin transmitting data between each other.Rate this question:

- A.
Colleges, Large Corperations,Governmentel institutes
- B.
Airports, Railway Stations, churches, masjids
Correct Answer
A. Colleges, Large Corperations,Governmentel institutesExplanation
Virtual private networks (VPNs) are commonly used by colleges, large corporations, and government institutes. These organizations often need to securely connect their networks and allow remote access to their internal resources. VPNs provide a secure and encrypted connection over a public network, such as the internet, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected. This is particularly important for organizations that deal with confidential information, such as educational institutions, big companies, and government agencies. By using a VPN, these organizations can establish a private and secure network, enabling their employees and authorized individuals to access resources remotely while maintaining data confidentiality.Rate this question:

How would you make a secure password so no one can hack into your account?
- A.
Letters
- B.
Numbers
- C.
Letters and numbers mixed
Correct Answer
C. Letters and numbers mixedExplanation
Mixing letters and numbers in a password creates a stronger and more secure combination. Including both letters and numbers increases the complexity of the password, making it harder for hackers to guess or crack. Using only letters or only numbers would make the password easier to guess or break through various hacking techniques such as brute-force attacks or dictionary attacks. Therefore, combining letters and numbers provides an added layer of security to protect against unauthorized access to an account.Rate this question:

If you are an IT Technician you have access to all the hardware, software, and documents?
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
B. FalseExplanation
As an IT Technician, you may have access to a wide range of hardware, software, and documents related to your job responsibilities. However, it does not necessarily mean that you have access to all the hardware, software, and documents in an organization. Access privileges are typically assigned based on job roles, security clearance, and need-to-know basis. So, while you may have access to a significant amount of resources, it is unlikely that you have access to everything in the organization. Therefore, the statement is false.Rate this question:

If your password was mixed letters and numbers would it be strong?
- A.
Yes
- B.
No
Correct Answer
A. YesExplanation
Yes, a password that includes a combination of letters and numbers would be considered strong. This is because using a mix of alphanumeric characters increases the complexity of the password, making it harder for hackers to guess or crack. Including both letters and numbers provides a larger pool of possible combinations, making it more difficult for brute-force attacks or dictionary-based hacking methods to succeed. Therefore, using a password that includes mixed letters and numbers enhances its strength and adds an extra layer of security.Rate this question:

Handshaking... is when?
- A.
The client sends the server a request for a certificate so they start to connect
- B.
The server is sending a reuest to talk.
- C.
The server is pinging the network to talk
Correct Answer
A. The client sends the server a request for a certificate so they start to connectExplanation
Handshaking is a process where two entities, in this case, the client and the server, establish a connection and exchange information before starting communication. In this scenario, the client initiates the handshaking process by sending a request for a certificate to the server. This request indicates the client's intention to connect with the server and also allows for the establishment of a secure connection by verifying the server's identity through the certificate.Rate this question:

In networking the advantage of call back is immediately after hanging up the server sends a message to say why the call was terminated. Which one of these is true?
- A.
The call-back feature instructs the remote access server to disconnect after confirmation and then to call you back
- B.
The remote sever confirms your call and then rings you back
Correct Answer
A. The call-back feature instructs the remote access server to disconnect after confirmation and then to call you backExplanation
The call-back feature in networking allows the remote access server to disconnect after receiving confirmation from the user and then initiate a call back to the user. This ensures that the server can provide a message explaining the reason for the call termination immediately after the call is ended. This feature provides an advantage by allowing the user to receive feedback and information about the termination of the call.Rate this question:
