  • Do you know what HTTP host headers are?
  • The difference between HTTP 1.0 and 1.1?
  • How to request and install a SSL certificate?
  • How to reconfigure the Windows SSL/TLS Cipher Suite?
  • Do you understand what chmod 664 does, or what NTFS "modify" permissions are?
  • Do you know what a DNS PTR record is?
  • What FcrDNS is short for?
  • The ports used by SMTP, POP3 and IMAP?
  • How about the SMTP submission port, or the SSL ports for SMTP, POP3 and IMAP?
  • What DNS MX records are used for, and what their priority means?
  • How to configure and use server side anti-spam DNSBL resources?
  • Do you know the ports used by telnet, ssh, MySQL, MS SQL, and RDP?
