Comptia Security +: Network Access

Instructions:
  • Answer 45 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. Builds on the dictionary attack by adding numbers and special characters and does some common substitution






2. Data - hardware - networks - facility are access control ________






3. Something you know - have - are or location






4. The process of recovering passwords from stored/transmitted data






5. The point at which the false rejection rate equals the false acceptance rate - used to determine the accuracy of biometric systems - low value = high accuracy






6. Information classification is no write up - no read down






7. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






8. Access control model designed to prevent authorized access to classified information - concerned with information confidentiality






9. A small room with two authentication doors - after gaining access to the 1st door the subject is locked in until access to granted to the 2nd door






10. Form of physical authentication - id/smart card - atm card - token - key - passport - something you __________






11. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






12. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






13. Procedures -processes - controls that determine access are access control ________






14. A password attack that tries all possible combinations until the correct password is identified






15. Lists of permission associated with objects - used in the DAC model - typically include a implicit deny rule






16. A password attack that uses a look up table containing pre-computed hashes






17. Access control model concerned with information integrity






18. Using any two authentication methods






19. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






20. Password type based on fact or opinion based information - best for authentication that users do not use often - easy to remember






21. Token that generates a password based on challenge/response






22. User - programs - processes - requesting permissions are access control ________






23. Error caused by biometrics where the system accepts impostors - also know as false acceptance rate (FAR)
