Ethical Hacking 8,9,11,13

A standard that addresses the issue of authentication.

802.1x

IDS systems log events and send alerts, but they can also interoperate with routers and firewalls to stop an attack.

Active system

A WLAN that doesn't rely on an AP for connectivity; instead, independent stations connect to each other in a decentralized fashion.

Ad-hoc network

Inspects network traffic at a higher level in the OSI model than a traditional stateful packet inspection.

Application aware firewall

A remote file system protocol that enables computers to share network resources over the Internet. It replaced SMB in Windows 2000 Server and later.

Common internet file system

Small network containing resources that a company wants to make available to Internet users and helps maintain security.

Demilitarized zone

Data packets are spread simultaneously over multiple frequencies instead of hopping to other frequencies.

Direct sequence spread spectrum

An enhancement to PPP, that was designed to allow a company to select its authentication method.

Extensible authentication protocol

CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access/collision detection) is implemented at the data link layer on wireless networks.

False

Software residing on a chip.

Firmware

Data hops to other frequencies to avoid interference that might occur over a frequency band.

Frequency hopping spread spectrum

Devices on an organization's network performing more than one function, such as printers, scanners, and copiers.

Multifunction devices

An embedded OS certified to run multiple levels of classification on the same CPU without leakage between levels.

Multiple independent levels of security

A fast and efficient protocol that requires little configuration and allows transmitting NetBIOS packets over TCP/IP.

NetBEUI

What is the most serious shortcoming of Microsoft's original File Allocation Table (FAT) file system?

No ACL support

A specialized embedded OS used in devices such as programmable thermostats, appliance controls, and even spacecraft.

RTOS (real time operating system)

An interprocess communication mechanism that allows a program running on one host to run code on a remote host.

Remote procedure call

What is a proprietary implementation of CIFS?

Samba

Used to share files and usually runs on top of NetBIOS, NetBEUI, or TCP/IP.

Server message block

Data is spread across a large-frequency bandwidth instead of traveling across just one frequency band.

Spread spectrum

Records session-specific information about a network connection, including the ports a client uses.

Stateful packet filter

There are measures for preventing radio waves from leaving or entering a building so that wireless technology can be used only by people located in the facility.

True

Which Windows OS have most services and features enabled by default?

Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2012

An 802.11b standard developed to encrypt data traversing a wireless network. Gave many users a false sense of security that data traversing the WLAN was protected.

Wired equivalent privacy

Ubuntu and Debian Linux use what command to update and manage their RPM packages?

apt-get

Amount of code a computer system exposes to unauthenticated outsiders.

Attack surface

Any computer system that is not a general-purpose PC or server.

Embedded system

Indicates that a system or network has been hacked.

Indicators of compromise

An OS security mechanism that enforces access rules based on privileges for interactions between processes, files, and users.

Mandatory access control

Defines how data is placed on a carrier signal.

Modulation

A technology that uses microwave radio band frequencies to transmit data. The most common uses of this technology are cordless phones and garage door openers.

Narrowband

An OS microkernel extension developed for Linux.

RTLinux

The name used to identify a WLAN.

SSID

Handle each packet separately and are not resistant to spoofing or DoS attacks.

Stateless packet filter

A Windows client/server technology introduced in 2005 used to manage patching and updating system software from the network.

Windows software update service

A radio transceiver that connects to a network via an Ethernet cable and bridges a wireless LAN (WLAN) with a wired network.

Access point

A small program developed specifically for use with embedded systems.

Embedded operating system

Technology is restricted to a single room or line of sight because this light spectrum cannot penetrate walls.

Infrared

Which of the following is a common Linux rootkit?

Linux Rootkit 5

An excellent tool for determining whether a system is vulnerable because of an RPC-related issue. Can quickly identify missing patches and misconfigurations.

Microsoft baseline security analyzer

Internal private IP addresses are mapped to public external IP addresses hiding the internal infrastructure.

Network address translation

What is the current file system that Windows utilizes that has strong security features?

New technology file system

IDS systems that don't take any action to stop or prevent an activity.

Passive systems

Administrator can perform full router configuration tasks.

Privileged mode

An open-source embedded OS used in space systems because it supports processors designed specifically to operate in space.

RTEMS

Systems used for equipment monitoring in large industries, such as public works and utilities, power generators and dams.

SCADA (Supervisory control and data acquisition)

An open-source implementation of CIFS.

Samba

In 2007 became Windows new standard to deploy and manage servers alongside updated patch-management functionality.

System center configuration

Microsoft's standard for managing Windows security patches on multiple computers in a network between 1994 and 2005.

Systems management server

It is possible to have a wireless network that does not connect to a wired network.

True

A cryptographic firmware boot-check processor installed on many new computer systems.

Trusted platform module

Administrator can perform basic troubleshooting tests and list information stored on the router.

User mode

Transmit and receive wireless signals, and access points (APs), which are the bridge between wired and wireless networks.

Wireless network interface cards
