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






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






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






4. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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






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






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






8. Using any two authentication methods






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






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






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






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






13. Something you know - have - are or location






14. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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






16. CER stands for...






17. 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






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






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






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






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






22. The most popular form of authentication






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

25. ACL stands for...






26. Access control model concerned with information integrity






27. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






28. 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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






36. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






38. Using three or more authentication methods






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






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






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






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






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






44. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






45. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering
