Comptia Security +: Network Access

Instructions:
  • Answer 45 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. Access control model designed to prevent authorized access to classified information - concerned with information confidentiality






2. Lists of permission associated with objects - used in the DAC model - typically include a implicit deny rule






3. A password attack that encrypts all the words in the dictionary and compares the resulting hash values with those of the password






4. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






5. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






6. Something you know - have - are or location






7. A password attack that uses a look up table containing pre-computed hashes






8. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






9. Security controls that thwart a security breach - i.e. require user ID and password






10. Used by most ACLs - also known as deny by default






11. A password attack that tries all possible combinations until the correct password is identified






12. Security controls that spot and capture details about a security breach - i.e. a log file






13. Data - hardware - networks - facility are access control ________






14. Error caused by biometrics where the system accepts impostors - also know as false acceptance rate (FAR)






15. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






16. Using three or more authentication methods






17. Form of authentication that relies on human characteristic - fingerprint - hand geometry - facial recognition - eye scan - voice print - DNA - something you _________






18. User - programs - processes - requesting permissions are access control ________






19. Form of physical authentication - id/smart card - atm card - token - key - passport - something you __________






20. A small room with two authentication doors - after gaining access to the 1st door the subject is locked in until access to granted to the 2nd door






21. Access control model that does not allow data to be accessed directly - concerned with separation of duty or function






22. The most popular form of authentication






23. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






24. Data can only be accessed through applications - designed to prevent unauthorized modification - errors and fraud






25. Preset (key in knob) - deadbolt - combination padlock - cipher






26. ACL stands for...






27. Feature of an OS that allows for logical access control by grouping subjects with common characteristics






28. Password type that best defends against password attacks - i.e. tokens






29. CER stands for...






30. Access control model concerned with information integrity






31. Error caused by biometrics where the system rejects authorized individuals - also know as false rejection rate (FRR)






32. Set of rules enforced by an OS to enhance security by forcing users to employ strong passwords






33. Builds on the dictionary attack by adding numbers and special characters and does some common substitution






34. Information classification is no read up - no write down






35. Authentication method that include pin - password - code words - personal information






36. The process of recovering passwords from stored/transmitted data






37. Using any two authentication methods






38. Token that generates a password based on challenge/response






39. Procedures -processes - controls that determine access are access control ________






40. Information classification is no write up - no read down






41. Security controls that fix a problem or prevent further damage






42. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






43. The point at which the false rejection rate equals the false acceptance rate - used to determine the accuracy of biometric systems - low value = high accuracy






44. Token that generates a password based on time or event






45. Password type based on fact or opinion based information - best for authentication that users do not use often - easy to remember
