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






2. ACL stands for...






3. Using any two authentication methods






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






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






6. Using three or more authentication methods






7. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






8. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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






11. Access control model concerned with information integrity






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






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






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






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






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






17. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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






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






20. Something you know - have - are or location






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






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






34. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






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






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






37. 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






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






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






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






41. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






42. CER stands for...






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






44. 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






45. The most popular form of authentication
