I'm writing the i-Net+ exam in a few days. I'm not worried about passing it but I do have a few questions that I see conflicting answers for. If anyone knows FOR SURE what the answer is please post it ASAP.

1. What is the fastest video card mode for displaying web graphics?
a. 8-bit
b. 24-bit
c. 32-bit
d. 64-bit

NOTE: Obviously 64-bit is faster than 24-bit, but is the maximum for "web graphics" 24-bit?

2.What is Microsoft's preferred server-side scripting language called?
a. ASP
b. IIS
c. VBScript
d. ASE

NOTE: "ASP" since it can be a server OR client-side scripting language?

3. Telnet servers present no security risk.
a. true
b. false

NOTE: "false" since every server is a security risk?

4. Why can't U.S. sites support browser encryption that uses keys longer than 40 bits?
a. regarded as munitions grade by U.S. government
b. foreign goverments don't allow it
c. firewalls don't allow it
d. can't be transmitted over a WAN

NOTE: "munitions grade" but isn't it true that foreign goverments don't allow it?

5. How many possible safe colors are there for viewing with a browser?
a. 8
b. 256
c. 256,000
d. 64,000

NOTE: "256" although I thought there were only 216 web safe colors?

6. What command do you use to start an FTP session?
a. login
b. connect
c. action
d. start

NOTE: "connect" since I've never used the other commands?

7. Which device forwards packets based on their MAC address?
a. router
b. bridge
c. gateway
d. hub

NOTE: "bridge"?

Thanks!

All looks good to me, but #4. I would have gone with 'b' Foreign governments don't allow it.

I'll have to disagree with you for this one.

ENCRYPTION ITEMS

Encryption items can be used to maintain the secrecy of information, and thereby may be used by persons abroad to harm national security, foreign policy and law enforcement interests. The U.S. has a critical interest in ensuring that important and sensitive information of the public and private sector is protected. Consistent with our international obligations as a member of the Wassenaar Arrangement, the U.S. has a responsibility to maintain control over the export of encryption items. As the President indicated in Executive Order 13026 and in his Memorandum of November 15, 1996, export of encryption software, like export of encryption hardware, is controlled because of this functional capacity to encrypt information on a computer system, and not because of any informational or theoretical value that such software may reflect, contain, or represent, or that its export may convey to others abroad. For this reason, export controls on encryption software are distinguished from controls on other software regulated under the EAR.
