Comptia Security +: Domain4 Application Security

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. P2P stands for...






2. Can filter out most buffer overflow attacks






3. A programming language - developed by Sun - used to make small applications (applets) for the Internet and stand alone programs






4. Enforce application software restrictions - virus scan all files - restrict folders shared by other P2P clients are safeguards for






5. Tools used to capture packets of data off a network and allow viewing of contents






6. Process to identify and assess a system's security risks






7. OSI layer that provides transparent transfer of data between end users






8. Attackers sniff network traffic and capture a cookie download or gain access to a computer and view locally stored cookie






9. This layer formats and encrypts data to be sent across a network - providing freedom from compatibility problems - sometimes called the syntax layer






10. Key functionality (how the application works) is identified and an application diagram developed in this phase of threat modeling






11. Cause of open SMTP relays






12. Used to record user's web activity - may be downloaded in the background






13. Ensure data input is validated - encode user supplied data - don't click on unknown hyperlinks - implement restrictive web browser security zones are preventative measures against






14. A microsoft created technology that enables software applications to share and reuse software components - maybe used to access files on local system or system registry






15. A method of code signing - allows developers to obtain digital certificate generated by a certificate authority and digitally sign ActiveX controls






16. OSI layer that establishes - manages and terminates the connections between the local and remote application






17. Phase of threat modeling that reviews application ingress and egress data flow and trust boundaries






18. Protocols in this layer NNTP






19. The application is reviewed and specific vulnerabilities are documented in this phase of threat modeling






20. An attack that occurs when malicious code is injected into a web site - where it is downloaded and executed by other users






21. Three main cookie types






22. Two types of buffer overflows






23. Target for trojans and viruses - used to transfer stolen/pirated data - unintentional disclosure of data are risks associated with






24. ARP stands for...






25. More data is put into a buffer than it was designed to hold - can be caused deliberately by hackers to run malicious code






26. Can leave the sandbox and obtain access to client resources






27. OSI layer that relates to the physical connection of two devices (i.e. RS-232






28. Enticing a user to execute malicious code stored on a web server (i.e. via hyperlink in an email)






29. A named collection of Web sites that can be assigned a specific security level






30. Scripting languages - developed by Microsoft to allow developers to extend and reuse web functionality






31. OSI model layers






32. OSI layer that provides the means to transfer data between network entities and detect/correct errors that may occur in the physical layer






33. Security zone options offered by Internet Explorer






34. Protocols used in this layer - IP






35. OSI layer responsible for path determination and logical addressing - routers operate at this layer






36. Malicious code stored in a web application that is downloaded and executed without the user's knowledge






37. Area of the memory where function calls are stored






38. Area of the memory where dynamically allocated variables are stored






39. Attacks targeting buffer overflow and cross-site scripting attack this OSI layer






40. OSI layer 2 - verify the connection between two devices is intact (i.e. physical addressing)






41. Server misused to forward spam - DoS conditions - damage to brand - blacklist on spam sites are risks associated with






42. Attack that occurs when a user navigates to a web site and hostile content is automatically downloaded and executed






43. OSI layer defines the electrical / physical device specs (media - signal - and binary transmission). This includes the layout of pins - voltages - cable specifications - hubs - network adapters - host bus adapters and more.






44. Number one safeguard against buffer overflow - XSS - data injection - and DoS attacks






45. Enable the cookie secure-bit setting - avoid using cookies to hold sensitive data - block third-party cookies will prevent ______






46. Phases of threat modeling






47. OSI layer that provides interhost communication (Named Pipes






48. Allow an attacker to intercept and modifiy data sent between two network devices - hijacking of network communications - attacks data link layer






49. A scripting language - developed by Netscape to perform client-side web development






50. OSI layer responsible for network processes to application
