Test your basic knowledge |

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 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. The practice of sending an ACK inside another packet going to the same destination






2. Relies on executable code insertion and user interaction to spread






3. Connects many WANs - MANs - and LANs - provided via ISP






4. A system resource that has no legitimate purpose or reason for someone to connect to it - its purpose is to draw in attackers to understand how they break into a system






5. Metropolitan area network - spans across city or town - larger than a LAN - uses fiber for backbone






6. It interacts with the application layer to determine which network services will be required






7. Prepends to the beginning of the file and gains control when the first instruction of the infected COM file is executed - appending to the end - virus writes its payload to the end and inserts jump instruction as the first instruction - which execute






8. It makes sure the data sent from one side to the other is in a format useful to the other side






9. rules indicate criteria in packets that represent events of interest - rules are applied to packets as they are received - alerts are created when matches are found






10. Bits of code embedded in programs to quickly gain access at a later time






11. Connection oriented - before systems can communicate over an ATM network - they must establish a virtual circuit between each other - this can span across multiple ATM switches that also handle communications for other systems - at the end of the con






12. Protocol for mapping an IP address to a physical machine address that is recognized on the local network. A table - usually called the ARP cache - is used to maintain a correlation between each MAC and its corresponding IP address






13. Network traffic to the host - typically listens on all interface - uses signature analysis to identify events of interest






14. Message in its encrypted form






15. It handles the establishment and maintenance of connections between systems






16. Good for multimedia - can use small single packets - multicasting is required - speed is the highest priority






17. OSI






18. Allows segmentation of a switch into different networks - regardless of where a system is plugged in - creates separate networks through software not hardware

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/basicversity.com/show_quiz.php on line 183


19. Provides insight into traffic on the network - help detect problems with network operations - provides auditing for other security measures






20. logic bomb - trojan horse - trap door






21. Weakness in a system - inherent in a complex system - majority are due to poor coding - gateway by which threats are manifested






22. Intrusion detection system - it reports attacks against monitored systems/networks






23. destruction of data - leaking confidential information - providing backdoor access






24. When someone has compromised the integrity of data or a program. Allows attackers to create backdoors.






25. Four layers - Network Layer - Internet Layer - Transport Layer - Application layer






26. Infected millions through various methods - vulnerability in the MS Server Service - brute force admin password through network shares - infect removable devices with a malicious autorun script






27. Physical layer - Data link layer - Network Layer - Transport Layer - Session Layer - Presentation Layer - Application Layer






28. flags anomalous conditions in traffic on the network - requires understanding on what is normal - bases good traffic as a baseline






29. 192.0.0.0 through 223.255.255.255 - subnet mask of 255.255.255.0






30. Used by IDS for a baseline before analysis - attackers will try to de-normalize traffic to evade detection - IDS will normalize data for understood protocols






31. Replicates traffic onto all ports - no traffic monitoring - cannot control which ports should or shouldn't receive frames - forming a large collision domain.






32. Uniform protection - protected enclaves - information centric - threat vector analysis






33. Going around with equipment to detect wireless networks






34. Considered to be a perimeter device






35. free windows based wireless scanner for 802.1b - detects access point settings - supports GSP integration - identifies networks as encrypted or unencrypted






36. A sends a SYN packet to B - B acknowledges with a SYN/ACK - A replies with ACK






37. Worms and Wireless - modems - tunnel anything through HTTP - social engineering






38. Trivial File Transfer Protocol - method to transfer files from one device to another without needing authentication






39. Hash Authentication - asymmetric - non repudiation - digital signature - hash + asymmetry






40. Common backdoor to open a port - port scan scans for open ports on remote host - scans 0 - 65 -535 twice. TCP and UDP






41. Isolates systems when they initially connect to the network - allows systems to be scanned and checked prior to being put on a trusted segment






42. Anonymous FTP - FTP passes through clear text - Bounce attacks with the PORT command - user can cause an FTP to open a connection from the FTP's own commands and bypass a firewall






43. packet filter firewalls rely on TCP flags to determine connection state. Attacker can send ACK packets only to bypass firewall.






44. A cracking tool inserted into the OS that allows the attacker to do as they please.






45. Infects MBR - no network spreading potential






46. FIN 130 - ACK 131 - FIN 570 - ACK 571






47. TCP/IP - the IP protoco - The core routing protocol of the internet - - deals with transmission of packets between end points - defines the addressing scheme for the internet






48. Netmasks or subnets provide a method for identifying what portion of an address is the network - and what portion is the host






49. A hash is produced when applied to a monitored file. The hash always generates the same value unless a change was made. HIDS software checks the hashes of monitored files and if a change is found - analyst is notified. - ie: tripwire






50. CIDR is a shorthand way of specifying which portion of the address is the network - and which portion is the host
