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 challenge/response






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






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






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






5. CER stands for...






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






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






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






9. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






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






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






12. Access control model concerned with information integrity






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






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






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






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






17. Using any two authentication methods






18. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






26. Something you know - have - are or location






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






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






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






30. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






31. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






32. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






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






35. ACL stands for...






36. The most popular form of authentication






37. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






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






39. Using three or more authentication methods






40. 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






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






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






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






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






45. 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
