Test your basic knowledge |

Instructions:
  • Answer 50 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. It makes sure the data sent from one side to the other is in a format useful to the other side






2. Known - unknown - zero day






3. Weakness in a system - inherent in a complex system - majority are due to poor coding - gateway by which threats are manifested






4. Most commonly used transport protocol today - ensures reliable packet delivery - has error handling built in






5. Multiple levels of protection must be deployed - an exercie in detection - measures must be across a wide range of controls - compromises happen when people leave sites - risk - CIA triad - strategies






6. Handles the network address scheme and connectivity of multiple network segments. It handles communication.






7. Uses inclusive or exclusive lists - inclusive analysis utilizes a list of keywords - exclusive analysis utilizes a list of events that can be ignored






8. FIN 130 - ACK 131 - FIN 570 - ACK 571






9. Unencrypted message in its original form






10. risk = threat x vulnerability - impossible to eliminate - security is an exercise in loss reduction






11. Relies on executable code insertion and user interaction to spread






12. 8 bytes per packet - UDP SRC port - UDP DST Ports - UDP length - UDP Checksum






13. Going around with equipment to detect wireless networks






14. Application layer attacks may get through - dialup - VPN - extranet connections may bypass firewalls






15. Personal area network - phone tethering - bluetooth - etc






16. Confidentiality - integrity - availability






17. low interaction production honeypot - network daemon that can simulate other hosts - each host can appear as a different OS






18. Most common approach - firewall - VPN - intrusion detection - AV - disk encryption - all parts of the organization receive equal protection - particularly vulnerable to malicious inside attacks






19. Malware - insider threat - natural disaster - terrorism - pandemic






20. Allows segmentation of a switch into different networks - regardless of where a system is plugged in - creates separate networks through software not hardware

21. War dialing - war driving - Sniffing - eavesdropping - dumpster diving - social engineering






22. Used by IDS for a baseline before analysis - attackers will try to de-normalize traffic to evade detection - IDS will normalize data for understood protocols






23. It interacts with the application layer to determine which network services will be required






24. Attaches itself to existing program files and activated when the exe is launched






25. 20 - FTP data - 21 - FTP - 23 - Telnet - 25 - SNMP - 53 - DNS - 79 - Finger - 80 - HTTP - 110 - POP - 443 - HTTPS






26. 1. physical 2. data 3. network 4. transport 5. session 6. presentation 7. application






27. Uses a 1 to 1 substitution of characters - rotate the alphabet by 'n' number of characters - rot+X means rotate the letters X characters






28. Confidentiality - integrity - availability






29. Replicates traffic onto all ports - no traffic monitoring - cannot control which ports should or shouldn't receive frames - forming a large collision domain.






30. Intrusion detection system - it reports attacks against monitored systems/networks






31. Simple attack done by simply browsing available information that's allowed on a local network.






32. Considered to be a perimeter device






33. Attacks systems through known vulnerabilities - automatically scans for more systems to attack - lowers system defenses - installs rootkit or root shell - opens up back doors - self contained malware that can copy itself






34. 128.0.0.0 through 191.255.255.255 - with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0






35. 1 and 2 - Voice/Low speed data - 3 - Voice/Data 10Mb - 4 - Voice/Data 16Mb - 5 - 5e - Voice/Data 100Mb to 1Gb - 6 - Standard for gigabit






36. Program disguised as something helpful - only to perform actions the user did not intend. Opening ports - installing other programs - etc.






37. Combines the functionality of a hub and bride into a single device - keeps track of MACs attached to each port






38. An attacker spoofs the victim's IP and sends an ICMP ECHO request to the broadcast address of a network. When every system responds - a DoS occurs.






39. It allows the transport layer to detect when the UDP headers or the payload have been modified in transit






40. 1.0.0.0 through 127.255.255.255 - subnet mask starts at 255.0.0.0






41. Wide Area Network - Larger than MAN or LAN - uses public network - phone lines - and leased lines to tie LAN and MAN over a dispersed area






42. A low end firewall that can quickly be deployed using existing hardware. They examine packets themselves with no content.






43. Connects the physical part of the network (cables) with the abstract (packets and datastreams)






44. Confidentiality - symmetric encryption






45. True positive - false positive - true negative - false negative






46. Outside attack from network - Outsider attack from telephone - Insider attack from local network - insider attack from local system - attack from malicious code






47. Work groups that require additional protection are segmented from the rest of the internal organization - restricting access to critical segments - system of VPNs - internal firewall - VLANs and ACLs






48. It handles the establishment and maintenance of connections between systems






49. Syn - Syn/Ack - Ack






50. Threat requires a vector to cross the vulnerability - stop the ability of the threat to use the vector
