Comptia Security +: Wireless Security

Instructions:
  • Answer 37 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. Wireless standard with a data rate up to 54 Mpbs in the 5GHz band






2. WTLS stands for...






3. An algorithm used to secure wireless computer networks that uses 48 bit IV - a secret key for each packet - and message integrity check (MIC) to detect altered packets






4. An access point that has been installed without authorization usually for malicious intent






5. Wireless standard with a data rate up to 54Mpbs in the 2.4GHz band






6. This feature should be disabled to hide a wireless network for unauthorized users (security by obscurity)






7. An enclosure made out of a specific type of copper wire to block radio waves






8. Security issues - if not using WTLS data is transmitted in clear and even usging WTLS data is clear while it is being converted from WSP to HTTP






9. TKIP stands for...






10. WPA stands for...






11. Wireless authentication method - also known as ad hoc - where the user must know the SSID or if using WEP the secret key






12. A device that connects different wireless stations






13. Sending unsolicited messages to a bluetooth device






14. IEEE authentication method for wireless networks developed to address weakness of WEP - supports user authentication rather than MAC address






15. A randomly generated value appended to data before encryption - sent by WEP in plain text - only 24 bits long - and reused on a regular basis






16. A wireless security protocol that uses Initialization Vector (IV) and has many security concerns






17. Wireless authentication method where both the SSID and encryption key are required - subject to man in the middle attacks






18. SSID stands for...






19. Wireless standard with a data rate over 100Mpbs in the 2.4 - 5GHz band






20. A ____ consists of a wireless client and access point






21. MIC stands for...






22. WAP stands for...






23. A wireless security protocol that uses the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP)






24. Distinguishes different wireless networks from each other - used by an access point to route traffic






25. A wireless security protocol that implements requirements of 802.11i - uses AES with key sizes up to 256 bits






26. Detecting and using unsecured wi-fi by driving around with a laptop and antenna






27. Using Bluetooth to establish a serial connection and take control of the device






28. An 802.11 wireless authentication method where wireless devices connect to each other directly - negotiations are in clear text - is subject to sniffing






29. SSID broadcasting - using default SSID and/or settings - access point mapping - rogue access points RF management - data emanation - and bluetooth security






30. Theft of data by connecting to bluetooth device






31. Replacement for WAP 1.x which corrects security issues






32. WEP stands for...






33. An 802.11 wireless authentication method where client only communicate directly with the access point






34. An open - global specification designed to deliver information/services to mobile wireless devices (i.e. cell phones)






35. Uses the wireless session protocol (WSP) to move data between mobile wireless devices and application servers






36. Wireless standard with a data rate of 1 to 2 Mpbs in the 2.4GHz band






37. A 1950s project that looked at ways to prevent interception of signals from systems (keyboard -CRT)
