VCE IT:A 2008 Suggested Solutions

I dont think it was wireless as it is not that secure.

I think i f*cked up the Question on the chiledren and the website.  I said age which means like no adult material and culture as in the social culture of the teens... Oh well

Well, CAT 5 can be unsecure too... you just need physical access. Wireless can be secure, and it did specifically mention ANYWHERE in the school - which leaves on wireless as the only option.

If you think wireless isn't secure, then you don't know wireless. I could argue (for a very long time) that wireless is even more secure then cat5, which it is. As I said in an earlier post, it is far easier to cut a cable and patch in then hack a WPA/WPA2 network, and if, IF the hackers in question have rainbow tables, there are a MULTITUDE of measures they can take to make sure nothing can be done on or to the network.

I agree with you completely. It just seemed that VCAA was trying to point us in the direction of CAT5... Which is why I chose CAT5, whilst I believed it was wireless.

What did everyone get for the school network thing and the kids with the camera phones? Did anyone put Client server network?

i said client server as well but im not sure if thats right

I think 16 is C because it says any location.

That's a good point. On the same token, wireless can be insecure. I believe that's how it's taught in VCE IT:A.

LANs are only limited by the wiring installed by the school, as well as the wire from the wall socket to the station. So I guess it depends on that.

Of course, when configured properly, wireless can be a very tough nut to crack. Hacking into a CAT5e LAN requires physical access.

Yeah i know what your thinking but i suppose it could be either. The thing that was on my mind is that wireless can never be considered very secure as it can be detected and after collecting enough packets hacked. Although  i hear you can tap an ethernet (cat5 or whatever). Mehh... probably the examiners will give both as right

I said WAN because they were Internet-enabled; that's how they uploaded to the site, and the Internet is a WAN.

I thought that becasue its controlled by the school.

I also said a WAN, but to be fair, it was a guess.

Question 3
a.
Feature: Alternating background colouring
Explanation: This makes each row (item) distinguishable such that there is no confusion between rows when reading across the screen.

YAY I PUT THAT lol.

For 3b)
I put Checkboxes for one of em..... is that a format

[Tauk]

I still think that question 4 A is Privacy Act 1988...since its asking the "responsibilities for patients data"

The question said 'Melbourne' (which comes under the state Victorian sector and not the commonwealth sector). The Victorian health industry is covered by the Health Records Act 2001.

I said that the checkboxes were on the left hand side of the form and the price was on the right hand side of the form - which is usually the preferred convention for setting out a customer order form. I also said that the dollar values are seperated by decimal points - ensures that the user is able to easily recognise the correct dollar values. Would this be another convention? Hopefully they accept that.

*shrug* Our teacher always mentioned to put Privacy Act anyway since it's the main one, and the Health Records Act is nearly a copy of it anyway.

What did people put for 6b? I immediately dismissed a formula from my mind because it's not on the course, and it said rule. I put:

10.00 <= Unit Price <= 25.00

That's exactly what I put.

Ditto.
