3) While surfing the Internet, a user notices a box claiming a prize

installed. An intruder now accesses the computer and retrieves
personal information. What type of attack occurred?
worm
virus
* Trojan horse
denial of service
4) What is a major characteristic of a Worm?
malicious software that copies itself into other executable programs
tricks users into running the infected software
a set of computer instructions that lies dormant until triggered by-
a specific event.
*exploits vulnerabilities with the intent of propagating itself-
across a network
5) A flood of packets with invalid source-IP addresses requests a
connection on the network. The server busily tries to respond,
resulting in valid requests being ignored. What type of attack
occurred?
Trojan horse
brute force
ping of death
* SYN flooding
6) What type of advertising is typically annoying and associated with a
specific website that is being visited?
adware
* popups
spyware
tracking cookies
7) What is a widely distributed approach to marketing on the Internet
that advertises to as many individual users as possible via IM or
e-mail?
brute force
* spam
spyware
tracking cookies
What part of the security policy states what applications and usages
are permitted or denied?
identification and authentication
remote access
* acceptable use
incident handling
9) Which statement is true regarding anti-virus software?
Only e-mail programs need to be protected.
Only hard drives can be protected.
*Only after a virus is known can an anti-virus update be created for it.
Only computers with a direct Internet connection need it.
10) Which two statements are true concerning anti-spam software?
(Choose two.)
Anti-spam software can be loaded on either the end-user PC or the
ISP server, but not both.
*When anti-spam software is loaded, legitimate e-mail may be
classified as spam by mistake.
Installing anti-spam software should be a low priority on the
network.
*Even with anti-spam software installed, users should be careful
when opening e-mail attachments.
Virus warning e-mails that are not identified as spam via anti-spam
software should be forwarded to other users immediately.
11) What term is used to describe a dedicated hardware device that
provides firewall services?
server-based
integrated
personal
* appliance-based
12) Which acronym refers to an area of the network that is accessible
by both internal, or trusted, as well as external, or untrusted,
host devices?
SPI
* DMZ
ISR
ISP
13) Which statement is true about port forwarding within a Linksys
integrated router?
* Only external traffic that is destined for specific internal-
ports is permitted. All other traffic is denied.
Only external traffic that is destined for specific internal-
ports is denied. All other traffic is permitted.
Only internal traffic that is destined for specific external-
ports is permitted. All other traffic is denied.
Only internal traffic that is destined for specific external-
ports is denied. All other traffic is permitted.
14) To which part of the network does the wireless access point part-
of a Linksys integrated router connect?
DMZ
external
* internal
a network other than the wired network
15)
Refer to the graphic. What is the purpose of the Internet Filter
option of Filter IDENT (Port 113) on the Linksys integrated router?
to require a user ID and password to access the router
* to prevent outside intruders from attacking the router-
through the Internet
to require a pre-programmed MAC address or IP address to-
access the router
to disable tracking of internal IP addresses so they cannot-
be spoofed by outside devices
16) What statement is true about security configuration on a Linksys-
integrated router?
A DMZ is not supported.
The router is an example of a server-based firewall.
The router is an example of an application-based firewall.
* Internet access can be denied for specific days and times.
17) What environment would be best suited for a two-firewall network-
design?
* a large corporate environment
a home environment with 10 or fewer hosts
a home environment that needs VPN access
a smaller, less congested business environment
18) What is one function that is provided by a vulnerability analysis-
tool?
It provides various views of possible attack paths.
* It identifies missing security updates on a computer.
It identifies wireless weak points such as rogue access points.
It identifies all network devices on the network that do not have a firewall installed.
It identifies MAC and IP addresses that have not been authenticated on the network.
19) Many best practices exist for wired and wireless network security.-
The list below has one item that is not a best practice. Identify the recommendation that is not a best practice for wired and wireless security.
Periodically update anti-virus software.
Be aware of normal network traffic patterns.
Periodically update the host operating system.
Activate the firewall on a Linksys integrated router.
Configure login permissions on the integrated router.
* Disable the wireless network when a vulnerability analysis is-
being performed.
20) What best practice relates to wireless access point security?
activation of a popup stopper
* a change of the default IP address
an update in the antivirus software definitions
physically securing the cable between the access point and-
client
21)
Refer to the graphic. In the Linksys Security menu, what does the SPI-
Firewall Protection option Enabled provide?
It prevents packets based on the application that makes the-
request.
It allows packets based on approved internal MAC or-
IP addresses.
* It requires that packets coming into the router be responses-
to internal host requests.
It translates an internal address or group of addresses into-
an outside, public address.
