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. Feature of an OS that allows for logical access control by grouping subjects with common characteristics






2. Preset (key in knob) - deadbolt - combination padlock - cipher






3. Authentication method that include pin - password - code words - personal information






4. Security controls that fix a problem or prevent further damage






5. Access control model concerned with information integrity






6. The most popular form of authentication






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






8. Using three or more authentication methods






9. Form of authentication that relies on human characteristic - fingerprint - hand geometry - facial recognition - eye scan - voice print - DNA - something you _________






10. Error caused by biometrics where the system rejects authorized individuals - also know as false rejection rate (FRR)






11. ACL stands for...






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






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






14. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






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






17. 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






18. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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






21. Using any two authentication methods






22. CER stands for...






23. 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






24. A password attack that encrypts all the words in the dictionary and compares the resulting hash values with those of the password






25. Builds on the dictionary attack by adding numbers and special characters and does some common substitution






26. Security controls that thwart a security breach - i.e. require user ID and password






27. Access control model that does not allow data to be accessed directly - concerned with separation of duty or function






28. Password type that best defends against password attacks - i.e. tokens






29. Used by most ACLs - also known as deny by default






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






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






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






33. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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






35. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






36. Token that generates a password based on time or event






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






38. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






39. Something you know - have - are or location






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






41. Set of rules enforced by an OS to enhance security by forcing users to employ strong passwords






42. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






43. Data can only be accessed through applications - designed to prevent unauthorized modification - errors and fraud






44. Security controls that spot and capture details about a security breach - i.e. a log file






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