Test your basic knowledge |

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






2. Phases of threat modeling






3. XSS stands for






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






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






6. Categories of XSS






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






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






9. OSI layer attributed with 75% of malicious attacks






10. COTS stands for






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






12. Protocols used in this layer - IP






13. Three main cookie types






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






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






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






17. Security zone options offered by Internet Explorer






18. ARP stands for...






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






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






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






22. Can filter out most buffer overflow attacks






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






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






25. Cause of open SMTP relays






26. P2P stands for...






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






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






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






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






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






32. Area of the memory where dynamically allocated variables are stored






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






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






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






36. OSI model layers






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






38. 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






39. Type - length - format - range






40. Enable the cookie secure-bit setting - avoid using cookies to hold sensitive data - block third-party cookies will prevent ______






41. Two types of buffer overflows






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






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






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






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






46. Area of the memory where function calls are stored






47. Protocols used in this layer (ARP






48. 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






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






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