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.

8. A specialized UN agency that provides developing countries with technical expertise and equipment






9. Activities finalize restoration of operations to a normal state and seek to identify source and method of intrusion to ensure same type of attack cannot occur again






10. Teflon-coated cable that is used in plenum area because it does not emit a toxic vapor when burned






11. A standard method or format for communication between networked devices






12. Wide area network






13. A switchhing method that creates separte channels on one communication medium by establishing different frequencies for each channel.






14. Event that triggers alarms and causes an IDPS to react as if a real attack is in progress






15. IS designed for the exchange of electronic mail between networked systems -such as between mail servers over a TCP/IP network






16. A versatile - chainable serial-bus technology that connects up to 127 devices at speeds of 1.5 Mbps and 12 Mbps as well as 480 Mbps.






17. Basic error checking and correction






18. Process of breaking large packets into smaller packets.






19. Network interface card






20. A systematic survey of all of the target organization's Internet addresses that is conducted to identify network services offered by hosts in that range






21. Encompasses actions an organization takes when intrusion is detected






22. Groups of workstations are star connect to connectivity devices and then networked via single bus - cover long distances - easy to interconnect - more expensive - ethernet






23. A private network that functions like a tunnel though a large network-such as the Internet or an enterprise network-that is restricted to designated member clients only.






24. Routes packets through network






25. CRAM-MD5






26. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






27. Package for data that includes not only the data - or 'payload -' but also the sender's and recipient's addressing and control information. Generated at the Data Link layer and issued to the Physical layer






28. NDS






29. Defines the physical characteristics of the network






30. Similar to bus topology - but the ends are connected






31. 3rd layer; protocols translate network addresses into their physical counterparts and decide how to route data from the sender to the receiver

33. File Transfere Protocol






34. # of times that waves amplitude cycles - hertz






35. An established guideline that specifies how networked data is formatted into a packet or frame - how it is transmitted - and how it is interpreted at the receiving end.

38. Gives each node unique address






39. Frequency division multiplexing






40. Telnet






41. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection






42. The ability to send or receive signals on a medium - but not at the same time.






43. Resistance that contributes to controlling an electrical signal; measured in ohms






44. The NIC and network equipment are set up so they cannot send and receive at the same time






45. Maximum arc into which you can loop a cable before you will cause data transmission errors






46. A wireless station listens on all channels for a bacon frame from an access point






47. Radio frequency interference. interference caused by radio.






48. Application layer protocol used to access information stored in a directory
