Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 106

What binary coding is used most often for e-mail purposes?

Answer options

• A. MIME
• B. Uuencode
• C. IMAP
• D. SMTP

Correct answer: A

Explanation

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) is the most widely used binary coding format for email, allowing various types of data to be sent as attachments. Uuencode is an older method and not as commonly used today, while IMAP and SMTP are protocols for retrieving and sending emails, respectively, and do not refer to binary coding methods.
