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






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






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






5. 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






6. Something you know - have - are or location






7. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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






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






10. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






12. Using three or more authentication methods






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






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






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






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






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






18. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






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






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






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






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






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






24. 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






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






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






27. ACL stands for...






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






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






30. Using any two authentication methods






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






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






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






34. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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






36. CER stands for...






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






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






39. Access control model concerned with information integrity






40. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






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






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






44. The most popular form of authentication






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