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. Using three or more authentication methods






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






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






4. 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






5. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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






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






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






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






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






12. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






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






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






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






16. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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






18. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






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






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






22. CER stands for...






23. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






24. Access control model concerned with information integrity






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






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






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






28. 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






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






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






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






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






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






34. ACL stands for...






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






36. Something you know - have - are or location






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






38. The most popular form of authentication






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






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






41. Using any two authentication methods






42. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






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






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






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