1. Each mask begins with 0x. Identify the hexadecimal number after the constant 0x.
For example, if the mask is 0x23, then the hexadecimal number you are interested
in is 23. The hexadecimal number may be up to four digits.
2. Convert the hexadecimal number to its 16-digit binary equivalent. You can use the
Windows calculator for this conversion.
a. Select Start, Programs, Accessories, Calculator.
b. Switch to scientific view, if it is not already in that view, by selecting View,
Scientific.
c. Select Hex.
d. Enter the hexadecimal number, for example 23, as specified in your
verification log.
e. Select Bin and the hexadecimal number will change to the binary equivalent.
f. Pad the beginning of the binary equivalent with zeroes (0) so that the number
is 16 digits long. For example, hexadecimal number 23 converts to 100011,
so the 16-digit binary equivalent would be 0000000000100011.
3. Determine what number (0 or 1) appears in each position of the binary number.
Because binary numbers count from right to left, start with position 1 on the right.

4. Using the list above, identify those attributes that are enabled by those positions
equal to one (1). The positions equal to zero (0) are disabled and that attribute
does not apply. So hexadecimal number 23, which converted to
