Subject : it-skills
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.

46. Attacker who utilizes tactics designed to trip the organization's IDPS - essentially causing the organization to conduct its own DoS attack - but overreacting to an actual - but insignificant - attack.






47. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basis without going through an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resources - suc






48. Small Form Plug-gables - Plugs in to an interface on a switch






49. Control frame that indicates to the rest of the network that a particular node has the right to transmit data






50. A TCP/Ip troubleshooting utility that displays statistics and the state of current TCP/IP connections. It also displays ports - which can signal whether services are using the correct ports.
