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






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






3. 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.






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






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






6. The application is reviewed and specific vulnerabilities are documented in this phase of threat modeling






7. OSI model layers






8. Categories of XSS






9. Security zone options offered by Internet Explorer






10. Can filter out most buffer overflow attacks






11. 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






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






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






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






15. OSI layer attributed with 75% of malicious attacks






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






17. ARP stands for...






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






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






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






21. Cause of open SMTP relays






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






23. Server misused to forward spam - DoS conditions - damage to brand - blacklist on spam sites are risks associated with






24. XSS stands for






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






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






27. Protocols in this layer NNTP






28. Type - length - format - range

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






31. COTS stands for






32. Phases of threat modeling






33. Three main cookie types






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






35. Enforce application software restrictions - virus scan all files - restrict folders shared by other P2P clients are safeguards for






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






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






38. Protocols used in this layer - IP






39. 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






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






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






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






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