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.

12. OSI layer responsible for data representation and encryption (MIME






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






14. OSI model layers






15. 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






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






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






18. OSI layer responsible for end-to-end connections and reliability (i.e. TCP

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






23. Area of the memory where function calls are stored






24. 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.






25. Threats to defined security objects are identified using knowledge gained during application decomposition in this phase of threat modeling
