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 uses a look up table containing pre-computed hashes






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






3. Using three or more authentication methods






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






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






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






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






8. ACL stands for...






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






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






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






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






13. CER stands for...






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






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






16. Something you know - have - are or location






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






18. Access control model concerned with information integrity






19. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






20. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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






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






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






24. 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






25. Using any two authentication methods






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






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






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






29. 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






30. The most popular form of authentication






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






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






33. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






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






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






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






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






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






40. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






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






42. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






44. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






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