5. What are three ways to mitigate SQL injection threats? (Choose three.)

  • stored procedures configured with the “db_owner” rights set as default
  • stateless packet-filtering firewalls
  • dynamic queries
  • database firewalls
  • whitelist input validation
  • parameterized database queries

Explanation: SQL injection is a basic web application attack technique which, if successful, can delete or change sensitive data or reveal it to the attacker. There are several methods to mitigate the threat of SQL injection such as the use of parameterized database queries, database firewalls, and whitelist input validation.

6. What is the purpose of adding salt to the password hashing process?

  • to decrease password complexity
  • to increase the length of a password
  • to make hashed passwords deterministic
  • to create a unique hash for every password

Explanation: Because of the deterministic nature of the hash function, hashed passwords are not unique. The same password always produces the same hash even if the password is created by different users. The salting process adds random data to the input of the hash function to guarantee a unique, nondeterministic output.

8. What is an operational characteristic of the local version control system?

  • It locks a file once it is checked out by a user to prevent modification by others.
  • It pushes a working copy of a file to a main repository after individuals have made changes.
  • It allows multiple individuals to edit a working copy of a file at the same time.
  • It stores a delta of two versions of a file as opposed to the file itself.

Explanation: There are three types of version control systems:

  • Local version control system
  • Centralized version control system
  • Distributed version control system

The local version control system stores the delta between the two versions of the file, as opposed to the file itself. When the user wants to revert to the previous version of the file, the delta is reversed to get to the requested version.

40. What are two processes that can be used to execute remote scripts securely? (Choose two.)

  • pipe scripts to a remote machine using cat | telnet and execute them in sequence with other commands, capturing and returning results to a local terminal
  • access the built-in rexec command within Bash, target the IP address of the remote machine, and execute the Bash command
  • store scripts locally, transmit them to a target machine with scp, log into the remote machine via ssh, and execute the scripts
  • store scripts on a webserver, log into the remote machine, and retrieve the scripts using wget via HTTP
  • store scripts in a Git repository, install git on the remote machine, clone the repo, check out a branch, and execute the scripts

Explanation: There are many ways to configure remote systems using scripts. However, scripts should be delivered to a remote system through the use of secured protocols or services or both.

Explanation: In the ansible webservers -m ping command, the parameter ping is an Ansible module invoked by the switch -m

44. A network operator is testing a network management application that uses REST API to communicate with network devices. The operator received an HTTP response code 403 in a test step. What does this response code indicate?

  • Client has not authenticated to access the site or API call.
  • The page at HTTP URL location does not exist or is hidden.
  • Request failed due to a client-side issue.
  • Access is not granted based on supplied credentials.

Explanation: Most common HTTP status codes include:

200 – OK (using GET or POST to exchange data with an API successfully)
201 – Created (creating resources by using a REST API call successfully)
400 – Bad Request (The request from the client is failed due to client-side issue.)
401 – Unauthorized (The client is not authenticated to access site or API call.)
403 – Forbidden (The access request is not granted based on the supplied credentials.)
404 – Not Found (The page requested at HTTP URL location does not exist or is hidden.)

  • cookie
  • query string
  • header
  • body data

47. Refer to the exhibit. A student is learning network automation with Python and REST API. The student constructs a small Python script to get information from a local network device. The device is a sandbox located inside the college lab and it is using a self-signed SSL certificate. Which parameter is needed in the Python code (in place of the question mark) to skip the SSL verification?

DevNet Associate (Version 1.0) - Practice Final Exam Answers 20

  • verify = True
  • verify = False
  • verify = NO
  • verify = YES

Explanation: When the protocol used within the URI is HTTPS, the connection will perform an SSL handshake between the client and the server for secure authentication. This handshake needs to be successful before the REST API request is even sent to the API server. However, because the SSL is self-signed, it would not pass the SSL verification with a CA. In the case of learning and practicing on a local resource, the SSL verification can be turned off by the “verify = False” parameter.

48. What are two features of REST APIs? (Choose two.)

  • They communicate over HTTP.
  • They follow the Representational State Transfer principles.
  • Requests always contain data.
  • Responses are always in JSON format.
  • They maintain session states in communications.

Explanation: REST APIs are the short name for Representational State Transfer Webservice APIs. They follow the REST architectural style and communicate over HTTP. REST API requests and responses can use many different data formats; it is not mandatory to use JSON. It is also not mandatory for requests or responses to contain data. Data is provided when applicable. Communication using REST APIs is stateless.

49. What are two advantages of using an APl rate limit? (Choose two.)

  • It protects against a DoS attack.
  • It reduces the amount of overhead within the API request.
  • It allows requests to be processed in a prioritized manner.
  • It supports token passing so tha each client gets a turn.
  • It provides better quality of service and response time.

Explanation: An API rate limit allows a web service to control the number of requests made in a defined amount of time and is a best practice to use for public and unrestricted APIS. Benefits of using rate limits include the following:

Avoids a server overload from too many requests at once
Provides better service and response time to all users
Protects against a denial of service (DoS) attack

50. Which three authentication mechanisms are used in REST APIs? (Choose three.)

  • basic authentication
  • OAuth
  • open authentication
  • API Key
  • bearer authentication
  • SSO

Explanation: For security reasons, most REST APIs require authentication to prevent random users from being able to create, update, or delete information incorrectly or maliciously. Basic Authentication, Bearer Authentication, and API Key are authentication mechanisms used by REST APIs. OAuth is an authorization mechanism
