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.

5. Categories of XSS






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






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






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






9. Two types of buffer overflows






10. P2P stands for...






11. Sensitive information stored within a cookie that is obtained by unauthorized users






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






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






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






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






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






17. Each client is a peer and serves each other client on the network - requires client application and appropriate open network ports to operate






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






19. OSI layer responsible for network processes to application






20. Three main cookie types






21. XSS stands for






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






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






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






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






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






27. Security zone options offered by Internet Explorer






28. OSI model layers






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






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






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






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






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






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






35. Security objectives placed on an application are identified - controlling the scope of the threat modeling process






36. OSI layer attributed with 75% of malicious attacks






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






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






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






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






41. 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.






42. 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






43. Can filter out most buffer overflow attacks






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






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






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






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






48. Phases of threat modeling






49. The unauthorized modification of the data stored within a cookie






50. Used by java to verify the code for a list of predetermined insecurities
