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






2. Have a timeout value - are not deleted when the user closes their web brower - used to store user preferences and information about the use connection






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






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

20. Type - length - format - range






21. Protocols in this layer NNTP






22. 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.






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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

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






33. OSI layer responsible for network processes to application






34. Deleted when the user closes their web browser - can contain authentication-related information






35. Small text files downloaded and stored on a user's computer that contain information about the user's session and preferences

37. OSI layer that provides interhost communication (Named Pipes






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






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

48. Used by java and javascript to isolate executing code in a reserved area of memory to limit damage of malicious code






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






50. IP address exposure - download of worm/viruses circumventing the firewall - no way to track improper communication - messages in clear text are risks associated with
