Capacitive touchscreen displays are composed of two flexible sheets coated with a resistive material and separated by an air gap or microdots. Pressure applied to the surface of the display by a finger or stylus causes the layers to touch, which completes electrical circuits and tells the device where the user is touching. As such, capacitive touchscreens require much more pressure to activate than resistive touchscreens as well as periodic screen calibration in order to be able to register the exact touch location. T or F

False

Dynamic Network Address Translation (DNAT) provides a permanent mapping between a private IP address and a public IP address on a one-to-one basis. T or F

False

Resistive touchscreen displays rely on the electrical properties of the human body to detect when and where on a display the user is touching. Because of this, resistive displays can be controlled with very light touches of a finger and generally cannot be used with a mechanical stylus or a gloved hand. Another characteristic feature of resistive touchscreens is that they do not require screen calibration. T or F

False

Static Network Address Translation (SNAT) provides a mapping between private IP address and any of the IP addresses belonging to the available public IP address pool. T or F

False

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is an example of a connectionless protocol. TCP doesn't support three-way handshake (thus it is also referred to as unreliable or best-effort protocol). T or F

False

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is a connection-oriented protocol that requires a set of initial steps in order to establish connection (three-way handshake), supports retransmission of lost packets, flow control (managing the amount of data that is being sent), and sequencing (rearranging packets that arrived out of order). T or F

False

Windows Phone, iOS, and Android are all examples of closed-source operating systems. T or F

False

A common example of channel overlapping in wireless networking would be the 2.4 GHz band used in 802.11, 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n networks, where the 2.401 - 2.473 GHz frequency range is used for allocating 11 channels, each taking up a 22-MHz portion of the available spectrum. Setting up a wireless network to operate on a non-overlapping channel (1, 6, and 11 in this case) allows multiple networks to coexist in the same area without causing interference. T or F

True

Server Message Block (SMB) and Common Internet File System (CIFS) are examples of network protocols used for providing shared access to files, directories, and devices. T or F

True

The function of the NetBT protocol is to allow NetBIOS services to be used over TCP/IP networks. T or F

True

The term "Intrusion Detection System" (IDS) refers to a device or software application designed to detect malicious activities and violations of security policies on a network and/or computer host. An IDS designed to monitor networks is known as Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS), an IDS installed on a particular host monitoring only that host is called Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS). IDSs do not take any active steps to prevent or stop the intrusion relying only on passive response which may include sending an alert to a management console or saving information about the event in logs. T or F

True

The term "Unified Threat Management" (UTM) refers to a network security solution (commonly in the form of a dedicated device called UTM appliance) which combines the functionality of a firewall with additional safeguards such as for example URL filtering, spam filtering, gateway antivirus protection, intrusion detection or prevention, content inspection, or malware inspection.
