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.

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






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






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