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. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






2. 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






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






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






5. Using any two authentication methods






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






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






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






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






10. The most popular form of authentication






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






12. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






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






15. Access control model concerned with information integrity






16. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






17. CER stands for...






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






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






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






21. 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






22. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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

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






29. Using three or more authentication methods






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






37. ACL stands for...






38. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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

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






44. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






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