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






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






3. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






5. Access control model designed to prevent authorized access to classified information - concerned with information confidentiality






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






7. ACL stands for...






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






9. Access control model concerned with information integrity






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






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






12. CER stands for...






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






20. The most popular form of authentication






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






22. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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






25. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






26. Using three or more authentication methods






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






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






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






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






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






32. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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






34. Something you know - have - are or location






35. 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






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






37. Using any two authentication methods






38. 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






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






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






41. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






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






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






44. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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