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. OSI layer responsible for data representation and encryption (MIME






2. Three main cookie types






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






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






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






6. COTS stands for






7. P2P stands for...






8. ARP stands for...






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






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






11. Attackers sniff network traffic and capture a cookie download or gain access to a computer and view locally stored cookie






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






13. Protocols used in this layer (ARP






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






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






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






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






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






19. Phases of threat modeling






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






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






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






23. OSI layer attributed with 75% of malicious attacks






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






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






26. OSI layer responsible for network processes to application






27. Type - length - format - range






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






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






30. 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






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






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






33. Can filter out most buffer overflow attacks






34. XSS stands for






35. 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






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






37. Security zone options offered by Internet Explorer






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






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






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






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






42. Protocols used in this layer - IP






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. 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






50. Categories of XSS
