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






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






3. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






4. Using three or more authentication methods






5. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






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






16. CER stands for...






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






18. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






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






20. The most popular form of authentication






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






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






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






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






25. ACL stands for...






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






27. Using any two authentication methods






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






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






30. 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






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






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






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






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






35. Access control model concerned with information integrity






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






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






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






39. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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






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






43. Something you know - have - are or location






44. 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






45. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack
