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. Intellectual property - business goals - validated data - historical






2. Provides insight into traffic on the network - help detect problems with network operations - provides auditing for other security measures






3. -Malicious code might execute destructive overwrite to hard disks -Malicious mas mailing code might expose sensitive information to the internet - web server compromise might expose organization to ridicule - Web server compromise might expose custom






4. One is for talking - one is for implementing






5. Parasitic malware - boot record infector - macro - COM/Script program infector - EXE program infector






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






7. Confidentiality - symmetric encryption






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






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






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






11. 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






12. 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






13. Confidentiality - integrity - availability






14. 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.






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

16. Anonymous FTP - FTP passes through clear text - Bounce attacks with the PORT command - user can cause an FTP to open a connection from the FTP's own commands and bypass a firewall






17. 1.0.0.0 through 127.255.255.255 - subnet mask starts at 255.0.0.0






18. logic bomb - trojan horse - trap door






19. Very simplistic. All systems are attached to the same cable segment. Rarely used because they're unreliable - low fault tolerance - poor traffic isolation - with limited scalability






20. Not frequently seen on LANs because of expense - because of its traffic predictability and high bandwidth support - it's good for video streaming - encapsulates common protocols - uses virtual path identifiers to create end to end connectivity - has






21. destruction of data - leaking confidential information - providing backdoor access






22. keeps the same letters - but changes the position within the text - easy to break - can be combined with substitution






23. A system resource that has no legitimate purpose or reason for someone to connect to it - its purpose is to draw in attackers to understand how they break into a system






24. Protocol for mapping an IP address to a physical machine address that is recognized on the local network. A table - usually called the ARP cache - is used to maintain a correlation between each MAC and its corresponding IP address






25. Switches networks make it difficult to monitor traffic in promiscuous mode - topology must be able to support traffic aggregation for monitoring






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






27. Going around with equipment to detect wireless networks






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






29. NTP - BootP/DHCP - NFS file systems - SNMP - TFTP






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






31. 53 bytes - 48 bytes for data - 5 bytes for the header






32. 20 - FTP data - 21 - FTP - 23 - Telnet - 25 - SNMP - 53 - DNS - 79 - Finger - 80 - HTTP - 110 - POP - 443 - HTTPS






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






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






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






36. Identify critical assets and provide layered protection - data is accessed by applications - applications reside on hosts - hosts operate on networks






37. Prepends to the beginning of the file and gains control when the first instruction of the infected COM file is executed - appending to the end - virus writes its payload to the end and inserts jump instruction as the first instruction - which execute






38. Uniform protection - protected enclaves - information centric - threat vector analysis






39. free windows based wireless scanner for 802.1b - detects access point settings - supports GSP integration - identifies networks as encrypted or unencrypted






40. An attempt to gain access by bombarding it with guesses until the password is found.






41. Unencrypted message in its original form






42. 192.0.0.0 through 223.255.255.255 - subnet mask of 255.255.255.0






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






44. Migrate to WPA2 - use strong authentication like PEAP or TTLS - audit network installations - require mutual auth between client and infrastructure equipment
