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. Token that generates a password based on time or event






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






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






4. The most popular form of authentication






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






15. CER stands for...






16. Access control model concerned with information integrity






17. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






18. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






20. Using any two authentication methods






21. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






22. 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






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






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






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






26. 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

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






31. Using three or more authentication methods






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






33. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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






35. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






44. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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