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.

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






22. Categories of XSS






23. Phases of threat modeling






24. 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






25. 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.
