[Year 12 IT Apps] Suggestion for a third VCE IT subject ...

[Mark KELLY]

Having just spend ten minutes working on an increasingly incoherent analysis
of the issue (that exam question is like Alice in Wonderland if you think
about it too much), I had to stop when considering what "file access"
actually *means*.  Google doesn't find a reasonable definition.

Does 'file access' mean opening a file (and then maybe viewing/editing its
contents) or can it also mean *copying* a file (without opening it)?

As for the antivirus event logger, I bet it would only log infection
detection events, not all system file events.  Can you imagine what would
happen to system performance if *every* file opening were logged by
Symantec?

An audit trail, however *would* log every system file event.  It's the only
answer that makes sense to me, but it wasn't one of the options.

This question is really bugging me, and I suspect it's destined to become a
classic.

My cow died on this day two years ago.  I know because I noted it in my
