Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. Security zone options offered by Internet Explorer

11. OSI layer attributed with 75% of malicious attacks






12. OSI layer that provides the means to transfer data between network entities and detect/correct errors that may occur in the physical layer






13. OSI layer 2 - verify the connection between two devices is intact (i.e. physical addressing)






14. OSI layer that establishes - manages and terminates the connections between the local and remote application






15. The application is reviewed and specific vulnerabilities are documented in this phase of threat modeling






16. Area of the memory where function calls are stored






17. OSI layer responsible for data representation and encryption (MIME






18. A scripting language - developed by Netscape to perform client-side web development






19. Key functionality (how the application works) is identified and an application diagram developed in this phase of threat modeling






20. A named collection of Web sites that can be assigned a specific security level






21. A programming language - developed by Sun - used to make small applications (applets) for the Internet and stand alone programs






22. OSI layer that relates to the physical connection of two devices (i.e. RS-232






23. Deleted when the user closes their web browser - can contain authentication-related information






24. Have a timeout value - are not deleted when the user closes their web brower - used to store user preferences and information about the use connection






25. A microsoft created technology that enables software applications to share and reuse software components - maybe used to access files on local system or system registry






26. ARP stands for...






27. Malicious code stored in a web application that is downloaded and executed without the user's knowledge






28. COTS stands for






29. Used by java and javascript to isolate executing code in a reserved area of memory to limit damage of malicious code






30. Process to identify and assess a system's security risks






31. IP address exposure - download of worm/viruses circumventing the firewall - no way to track improper communication - messages in clear text are risks associated with






32. Three main cookie types






33. Enable the cookie secure-bit setting - avoid using cookies to hold sensitive data - block third-party cookies will prevent ______

46. OSI layer that provides interhost communication (Named Pipes






47. Can leave the sandbox and obtain access to client resources






48. More data is put into a buffer than it was designed to hold - can be caused deliberately by hackers to run malicious code
