Easy loading:
Make sure the website doesnt take too long to load

Audience:
The website must be designed to attract the target audience

Text and images;
These keep the users interested and help with navigation











43






Steps involved in the development of a website

- A user is unable to bookmark any of the web pages viewed within a frame.
- Frames can make the production of a website complicated
- The use of too many frames can put a high workload on the server

Lossless compression











54






Lossy compression








Refers to making the file size smaller by removing unnecessary bits of information











55






Lossless compression








Refers to compression that uses more memory because it does not change the image











56






Important guidelines for securing a new web server








- Disable FTP service if it is not being used
- Delete default data/scripts
- Update permissions/ownership of files
- Disable windows guest account
- Administrator account should have a strong password











57






Controlled detour attack








A controlled detour attack is also called a routing detour attack, it happens when the attacker intercepts the message that travels between the user and the web server and redirects it without the user or web server knowing about it











58






Disadvantages of using an open source Operating system








There is no extensive support in general available for open source software
There is a lack of extensive technical support. 
It is developed by numerous people so there is no clear idea of who can be held liable If the program doesn't function properly or causes damage to hardware.











59






When you should use a digital certificate

A brute force attack is a trial-and-error method used to obtain information such as a user password or personal identification number (PIN).











61






Four layers in web browser








Application layer:
Programs on your computer communicate directly with the application layer

Transport layer:
splits the data it receives into smaller pieces of information (called 
packets), which can be sent over the internet

Internet Protocol layer:
adds the address of the computer where the information is 
coming from as well as the computer to which the information is going

Network interface layer:
receives packets over the internet and sends them to their 
destination. To do this, it uses the information stored in the packet as well as the information 
that other computers on the network send to it











62






List and describe the function of six network devices








a network adapter:
is a piece of hardware that is added to a computer, allowing it to be 
connected to a network 

network cables
used to connect a computer to a network or one network to another network 

An Ethernet hub 
is a device that allows you to connect multiple computers to the same 
network. 

switch
sends the information to the correct computer 

router 
can assign IP addresses, block certain kinds of traffic, control how much 
bandwidth any computer can use and complete many other useful network related tasks 

A modem
used to connect you to the internet











63






TCP/IP specifies how data should be








formatted 
addressed 
transmitted 
routed 
received











64






List and describe the characteristics of a database








self-contained: 
databases are considered self-contained because they not only contain the 
data, they also contain information about the data 

data independence: independence means that the data is independent of the applications 
using the data. This means that the applications accessing the data cannot make changes to 
either the data or the structure in which the data is stored. 

data abstraction:
 with data abstraction, databases hide the complexity of the database 
from the final user. This means that the user does not have to see the SQL code or the 
complex relationships between the data when browsing the database 

multiple views: 
SQL databases also allow different users to see different views of the 
database 

centralised control: all the data can be controlled from a central position. This means that any changes you make to the data will immediately be made to all the applications that use it











65






What are the six kinds of database structures?








- hierarchical database structure 
- network database structure 
- relational database structure 
- object-oriented database structure 
- distributed database structure 
- non-relational database structures











66






List security risks.








- hardware capacity problems 
- physical damage to hardware 
- programming bugs in the server software 
- data loss or corruption due to hardware problems 
- viruses and malware
