Internet and Web Questions

Multiple choice technology security
  1. Host Header

  2. Cookie

  3. Referrer Header

  4. None of the above

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

All HTTP headers and cookies can be manipulated by users and attackers, making them untrusted input that requires validation. Host headers can be used for cache poisoning attacks. Cookies can contain malicious data. Referrer headers are user-supplied. The secure approach is to validate ALL external input, assuming none can be trusted.

  4. Cookies

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In a GET request, the query string (the part after '?' in the URL) is logged by web servers. This is standard behavior for access logs. Hidden tags (A) are in HTML forms, not URLs. Headers (C) and cookies (D) are sent in the HTTP request but are not part of the URL itself, though servers can optionally log them. The query string is always visible in server logs by default.

Multiple choice technology security
  1. Check authorization on each page

  2. Name files with un-guessable names

  3. Place all accessible files in the same directory

  4. ACL's on the web root

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Forceful browsing (or directory traversal) attacks are prevented by checking authorization on every page request. Obscure file names or directory structure are security through obscurity and not real protection - authorization checks are mandatory.

  1. Earth View

  2. Street View

  3. Zoom In

  4. Zoom Out

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Google Street View provides panoramic, 360-degree views of streets and locations worldwide, enabling virtual exploration of places. Earth View refers to satellite imagery, while Zoom In/Out are basic navigation controls. Street View specifically enables the immersive virtual visiting experience described.

This historic moment marked the birth of what would become the internet. Option B is a common programming phrase but incorrect for ARPANET. Options C and D are fictional answers not related to ARPANET history.

  4. "cyberspace, the final frontier"

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The first message sent over ARPANET (the precursor to the modern Internet) was 'lo' on October 29, 1969. The attempt was to send 'login' but the system crashed after the first two letters. This occurred during a connection attempt between UCLA and Stanford Research Institute. 'Hello world' is a programming tradition, not a networking milestone.

Multiple choice technology web technology
  1. On your computer

  2. On one massive computer - the www

  3. On individual computers, often known as servers

  4. On a network of routers

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Files on the Internet are stored on individual computers that are connected to the network, which are configured to serve these files and are commonly referred to as servers. The Internet is not a single massive computer, nor do files live inside routing devices.

Multiple choice technology web technology
  1. True

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

When a converter throws an exception during value conversion, JSF marks the component as invalid. The isValid() method of the UIComponent (or the field's validator) returns false because the conversion failure sets the valid flag to false, preventing further processing.

Multiple choice technology web technology
  1. True

  2. False

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

When a converter throws an exception or sets a conversion error, JSF marks the component as invalid. The isValid() method returns false for that component, and the component's value is not updated in the model. This prevents invalid data from propagating through the application.

  1. Web Client

  2. Mobile Web Client

  3. Handheld Client

  4. Wireless Web Client

  5. Dedicated Web Client

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B,C,E Correct answer
Explanation

Zero-footprint clients require no local software installation beyond a web browser. The Web Client and Wireless Web Client are zero-footprint because they run entirely in the browser. In contrast, Mobile Web Client, Handheld Client, and Dedicated Web Client all require local installation of Siebel software and database components, making them non-zero-footprint clients.
