Security + Practice Test 3

Shimming

A modification introduced to a computer code that changes its external behavior (e.g. to maintain compatibility between a newer OS and an older version of application software) is called:

WPS

A solution that simplifies configuration of new wireless networks by allowing non-technical users to easily configure network security settings and add new devices to an existing network is known as:

IV attack

A type of wireless attack designed to exploit vulnerabilities of WEP is known as:

Denial of Service (Dos) attack

A wireless disassociation attack is a type of:

Denial of Service (Dos) attack

A wireless jamming attack is a type of:

Brute-force attack

An attack against encrypted data that relies heavily on computing power to check all possible keys and passwords until the correct one is found is known as:

Bluesnarfing

Gaining unauthorized access to a Bluetooth device is referred to as:

Source address

IP spoofing and MAC spoofing rely on falsifying what type of address?

True

The term "URL hijacking" (a.k.a. "Typosquatting") refers to a practice of registering misspelled domain name closely resembling other well established and popular domain name in hopes of getting Internet traffic from users who would make errors while typing in the URL in their web browsers.

NFC

What is the name of a technology used for contactless payment transactions?

Birthday

Which cryptographic attack relies on the concepts of probability theory?

3. KPA

Which of the acronyms listed below refers to a cryptographic attack where the attacker has access to both the plaintext and its encrypted version? 1. KEK 2. POODLE 3. KPA 4. CSRF

3. POODLE

Which of the following answers lists an example of a cryptographic downgrade attack? 1. MITM 2. KPA 3. POODLE 4. XSRF

1. Hash/Password

Which of the following answers refers to the contents of a rainbow table entry? 1. Hash/Password 2. IP address/Domain name 3. Username/Password 4. Account name/Hash

WPA2 CCMP

Which of the following security protocols is the least susceptible to wireless replay attacks?

3. RFID

Which of the following wireless technologies enables identification and tracking of tags attached to objects? 1. WTLS 2. GPS 3. RFID 4. WAF

1. Refactoring 4. Shimming

Which of the terms listed below refer(s) to software/hardware driver manipulation technique(s) that might be used to enable malware injection? (Select all that apply) 1. Refactoring 2. Sandboxing 3. Fuzz testing 4. Shimming 5. Sideloading

1. WPS 5. WEP

Which of the wireless technologies listed below are deprecated and should not be used due to their known vulnerabilities? (Select 2 answers) 1. WPS 2. WAP 3. WAP2 4. WAF 5. WEP

Dictionary attack

Which password attack takes advantage of a predefined list of words?

False

T/F A situation where cryptographic hash function produces two different digests for the same data input is referred to as hash collision.

True

T/F One of the measures for bypassing the failed logon attempt account lockout policy is to capture any relevant data that might contain the password and brute force it offline.

True

T/F Rainbow tables are lookup tables used to speed up the process of password guessing.

True

T/F The term "Evil twin" refers to a rogue Wireless Access Point (WAP) set up for eavesdropping or stealing sensitive user data. Evil twin replaces the legitimate access point and by advertising its own presence with the same Service Set Identifier (SSID, a.k.a. network name) appears as a legitimate access point to connecting hosts.

Refactoring

The practice of optimizing existing computer code without changing its external behavior is known as:

Bluejacking

The practice of sending unsolicited messages over Bluetooth is called:
