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






2. Confidentiality - symmetric encryption






3. 192.0.0.0 through 223.255.255.255 - subnet mask of 255.255.255.0






4. Good for multimedia - can use small single packets - multicasting is required - speed is the highest priority






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






6. True positive - false positive - true negative - false negative






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. Stateful firewalls maintain state of traffic flows






9. An FTP that allows downloads only if the user knows the exact name of the file they're looking for






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






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






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






13. Physical layer - Data link layer - Network Layer - Transport Layer - Session Layer - Presentation Layer - Application Layer






14. 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






15. Protects internal/external systems from attack - filters communications based on content - performs NAT - encrypts communications for VPN - logging to aid in intrusion detection






16. UDP based infection - infected through vulnerability in SQL server - caused DoS on saturated networks






17. Allows admins to remotely access a system for troubleshooting. - E.g VNC - GoToMyPc - PC Anywhere






18. rules indicate criteria in packets that represent events of interest - rules are applied to packets as they are received - alerts are created when matches are found






19. When someone has compromised the integrity of data or a program. Allows attackers to create backdoors.






20. 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






21. A time of check/time of use attack that exploits the difference in between when a security control was applied and the time the service was used.






22. open source tool for monitoring - can be used as a NIDS - has quick updates and flexibility for custom rules






23. A TCP version of ping - sends custom TCP packets to a host and listens for replies - enables port scanning and spoofing simultaneously






24. Network traffic to the host - typically listens on all interface - uses signature analysis to identify events of interest






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






26. A cracking tool inserted into the OS that allows the attacker to do as they please.






27. Maintains complete TCP connection state and sequencing through 2 connections - address translation built-in by virtue of second connection above






28. 20 - FTP data - 21 - FTP - 23 - Telnet - 25 - SNMP - 53 - DNS - 79 - Finger - 80 - HTTP - 110 - POP - 443 - HTTPS






29. Strips OS commands and characters from input - avoid making system calls from within the app * especially based on user input






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






31. Provides insight into the tactics - motives - and attacker tools






32. Metropolitan area network - spans across city or town - larger than a LAN - uses fiber for backbone






33. Switches along the path can be requested to allocate the desired amount of bandwidth. If the circuit has the required bandwidth - the circuit is set up.






34. 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.






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






36. It interacts with data and prepares it to be transmitted across the network. It ensures reliable connectivity from end-to-end






37. An attacker recruits zombie systems ahead of time to simultaneously release a flood of traffic at a specific target.






38. An appliance that controls access between public internet and a companies private network - or between a PC NIC and the rest of the PC.






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






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






41. Bits of code embedded in programs to quickly gain access at a later time






42. Slow - requires stateful data tracking - inspects all fields - including variable-length fields






43. Publish separate mail - web - and DNS servers to the internet - provide appropriate access from internal network to internet - protect internal from external attack - provide defense in depth - protect all aspects of the system






44. It makes sure the data sent from one side to the other is in a format useful to the other side






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






46. Free linux WLAN analysis tool - completely passive - cannot be detected - supports advanced GPS integration and mapping features - used for wardriving - WLAN vulerability assessment






47. Isolates systems when they initially connect to the network - allows systems to be scanned and checked prior to being put on a trusted segment






48. A list of files is defined that should be monitored for a change - HIDS software calculates a one-way hash for each file - if a change is made to the file - the hash is changed






49. One is for talking - one is for implementing






50. Common backdoor to open a port - port scan scans for open ports on remote host - scans 0 - 65 -535 twice. TCP and UDP
