Subject : it-skills
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. A TCP/IP utility that queries the DNS database and provides information about a host given its IP address or vice versa. Dig is similar to the nslookup utility - but provides more information - even in its simplest form - than nslookup can.






2. Synchronises data exchange






3. IEEE standard for wireless networking






4. The wave bounces back when encountering an object






5. Is a protocol designed for managing complex networks






6. VPN






7. IANA






8. An international body that establishes communications and networking standards - and that is particularly known for its contributions to network protocol standards.






9. A specially configured connection on a network device that is capable of viewing all the traffic that moves through the entire device.






10. Process by which attacker changes the format and/or timing of their activities to avoid being detected by the IDPS






11. Decoy systems designed to lure potential attackers away from critical systems






12. What is the currency of Denmark?






13. FDM






14. American national standards institute






15. Hackers sending emails to make it look like its legit and its actually dangerous to the workstation






16. Actual. how much data is transmitted during given time






17. Transmission that involves one transmitter and multiple - undefined receivers






18. Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection






19. PPTP






20. A resistor that is connected to the end of a segment on a bus network - so that data-carrying signals are absorbed at the point where the segment stop. Aborbing the signals ensures they are not reflected back onto the cable after they reach the end-t






21. Consists of activities that deter intrusion






22. International Organization for Standardization






23. What early protocol allows users to access machines remotley that has no security implemented within it?






24. FTP-Data - file transfer data






25. Public switched telephone network






26. Is a challenge respone authentication protocol






27. An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame.






28. A network on which any computer can communicate with other networked computers on an equal (peer) basic without going though an intermediary - such as a server. Peer-to-Peer networking enables each computer to offer and access shared resoures - such






29. Secures messages being transmitted on the internet - uses RSA for authentication and encyption.






30. A type of cable used in network wiring and is usually shielded - which means that it is more immune to interference then unshielded cables






31. Loop back address for IPv6






32. MSAU






33. Developed by ISO and ANSI - a model that providees a framework for networked hardware and software communication based on seven layers.






34. Type of protocol useful when data must be transferred quickly






35. Type of punch-down block used to terminate telephone circuits; does not meet Cat 5 or better standards






36. Device used to regenerate a signal






37. The sender transmits the data to the destination without establishment of a connection.






38. IPv6 addressing - multicast group






39. Medium network 128-191






40. IMAP4






41. Technique for formatting signals in which one property of a carrier wave is modified by the addition of a data signal during transmission






42. Analog - only one direction. radio frequency analog waves w differences in frequency. expensive - longer distance. ex. cable TV






43. Secure CoPy-utility that allows you to copy files securely from host to another






44. MIB






45. OSPF






46. Appends physical address of destination computer onto the frame






47. Multicast group 224-239






48. A standard for encoding and interpreting binary files - images - video - and non-ASCII character sets within an e-mail message.






49. The process of determining the best path from Point A on one network to Point B on another






50. Two communication systems establish 2-way communication prior to the exchange of data
