3a/3b Applied Information Technology - Quiz

If you’re studying information technology, and think you know a lot about computers and how they work, then one trap that you and many students could potentially fall into is that you know all of this very important theory with zero knowledge on how to actually apply it. Take the following quiz on applied information technology to see if you’ve really been paying attention in class!

Questions and Answers

1.

Which one below is a design principal?
- A.
  
  Line
- B.
  
  Shape
- C.
  
  Size
- D.
  
  Contrast
Correct Answer
D. Contrast

Explanation
Contrast is a design principle that refers to the arrangement of opposite elements, such as light and dark, big and small, or rough and smooth, to create visual interest and emphasis. It helps to highlight important elements and create a sense of hierarchy in a design. By using contrast, designers can make their designs more dynamic and visually appealing, as well as improve readability and clarity.

Which one below is a design element?
- A.
  
  Shape
- B.
  
  Unity
- C.
  
  Contrast
- D.
  
  Dominance
Correct Answer
A. Shape

Explanation
Shape is a design element because it refers to the outline or form of an object or element in a design. It is one of the fundamental visual elements that designers use to create compositions. Shapes can be geometric or organic, and they play a crucial role in defining the overall structure and balance of a design. By using different shapes, designers can create visual interest, convey meaning, and guide the viewer's eye within a composition.

True or False: SQLinjection is a URL based attack?
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
SQL injection is a type of attack where an attacker inserts malicious SQL code into a website's database query through user input fields. This can be done through URL parameters, forms, or any other input method. Therefore, SQL injection can indeed be a URL based attack as it involves manipulating the URL to inject malicious code into the database query.

Rate this question:
5.

Which attacks are URL based?
- A.
  
  Local File Inclusion (LFI)
- B.
  
  Remote File Inclusion (RFI)
- C.
  
  SQL injection (SQLi)
- D.
  
  Cross Site Scripting (XSS)
- E.
  
  Remote Code Execution (RCE)
- F.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
F. All of the above

Explanation
All of the attacks listed in the options are URL based. Local File Inclusion (LFI), Remote File Inclusion (RFI), SQL injection (SQLi), Cross Site Scripting (XSS), and Remote Code Execution (RCE) all involve manipulating or exploiting URLs to carry out the attack. LFI and RFI involve including local or remote files respectively by manipulating the URL. SQLi involves injecting malicious SQL code into a URL to manipulate a database. XSS involves injecting malicious scripts into a URL to execute on a victim's browser. RCE involves exploiting vulnerabilities in a URL to execute malicious code on a remote server.

What component in the CPU performs logical and mathematical tasks?
- A.
  
  L3 Cache
- B.
  
  Random Access Memory (RAM)
- C.
  
  Registers
- D.
  
  Arithmetic Logical Unit (ALU)
Correct Answer
D. Arithmetic Logical Unit (ALU)

Explanation
The Arithmetic Logical Unit (ALU) is responsible for performing logical and mathematical tasks in the CPU. It carries out operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and comparison. The ALU takes input from the registers and performs the required calculations based on the instructions given by the control unit. It then outputs the result back to the registers or to the memory. The ALU is an essential component in the CPU that enables it to execute various mathematical and logical operations efficiently.
