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. CER stands for...






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






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






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






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






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






7. The most popular form of authentication






8. Tailgating - piggybacking - social engineering






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






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






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






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






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






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






15. Dictionary - hybrid - brute force - rainbow table






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






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






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






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






20. Using any two authentication methods






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






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






23. Password length/complexity help defend against this attack






24. ACL stands for...






25. Cognitive - dynamic - one-time - passphrase






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






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






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






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






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






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






32. 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






33. Access control model concerned with information integrity






34. Something you know - have - are or location






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






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






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






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






39. Using three or more authentication methods






40. Identification - authentication - authorization - accountability






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






42. MAC - DAC - and RBAC






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






44. 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






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