Which of following is NOT a valid HTTP Status response recognized by most browsers?

  • 429 Too Many Requests
  • 437 UDP sequence mismatch
  • 410 Gone
  • 418 I am a Teapot 

 

Which of following is NOT a valid HTTP Status response recognized by most browsers?

EXPLANATION

410, 418, and 429 are supported in all the major browsers. 

437 is made up from whole cloth... UDP isn't in the same protocol layer as HTTP, and even if it does it doesn't have sequences.

(Question grew out of my love of the 418 status code!  Yeah, it is an easily google-able question.)

Which of the following can use both TCP and UDP?

Which of the following can use both TCP and UDP?

  • Telnet
  • FTP
  • SSL
  • DNS
 
Which of the following can use both TCP and UDP?

EXPLANATION

 The correct answer is TCP- Transfers; UDP- Queries. The DNS uses TCP Port 53 for zone transfers, for maintaining coherence between the DNS database and the server. The UDP protocol is used when a client sends a query to the DNS server. The TCP protocol should not be used for queries as it gives a lot of information, which is useful to attackers. To remember this just note the capitalized letters are unique to each other: Tcp = Transfer and Udp = qUeries.

What is the frequency range of the IEEE 802.11b standard?

What is the frequency range of the IEEE 802.11b standard?

  • 24Gbps
  • 5GHz
  • 2.4GHz
  • 5Gbps 

 

What is the frequency range of the IEEE 802.11b standard?

EXPLANATION

802.11b boasts an impressive performance. It is able to transfer data with raw data rates up to 11 Mbps, and has a good range, although not when operating at its full data rate.

Summary of 802.11b Wi-Fi Standard Specification
 
Parameter Value
Date of standard approval July 1999
Maximum data rate (Mbps) 11
Typical data rate (Mbps) 5
Typical range indoors (Metres) ~30
Modulation CCK (DSSS)
RF Band (GHz) 2.4
Channel width (MHz) 20

When transmitting data 802.11b uses the CSMA/CA technique that was defined in the original 802.11 base standard and retained for 802.11b. Using this technique, when a node wants to make a transmission it listens for a clear channel and then transmits. It then listens for an acknowledgement and if it does not receive one it backs off a random amount of time, assuming another transmission caused interference, and then listens for a clear channel and then retransmits the data.

IPv4 uses 32bits. How many bits does IPv6 use?

IPv4 uses 32bits. How many bits does IPv6 use?

  • 64
  • 256
  • 32
  • 128 

 

IPv4 uses 32bits. How many bits does IPv6 use?

EXPLANATION

The size of an IPv6 address is 128 bits, compared to 32 bits in IPv4. 

The address space therefore has 2128 = 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 addresses (approximately 3.4×1038). Some blocks of this space and some specific addresses are reserved for special uses.
