  4. You are an IT security consultant working on a contract for a large manufacturing company to audit their entire network. After performing all the tests and building your report, you present a number of recommendations to the company and what they should implement to become more secure. One recommendation is to install a network-based device that notifies IT employees whenever malicious or questionable traffic is found. From your talks with the company, you know that they do not want a device that actually drops traffic completely, they only want notification. What type of device are you suggesting?

    • A NIDS device would work best for the company.
    • A HIPS device would best suite this company.
    • The best solution to cover the needs of this company would be a HIDS device.
    • You are suggesting a NIPS device.
  5. Cindy is the network security administrator for her company. She just got back from a security conference in Las Vegas where they talked about all kinds of old and new security threats; many of which she did not know of. She is worried about the current security state of her company’s network so she decides to start scanning the network from an external IP address. To see how some of the hosts on her network react, she sends out SYN packets to an IP range. A number of IPs respond with a SYN/ACK response. Before the connection is established, she sends RST packets to those hosts to stop the session. She has done this to see how her intrusion detection system will log the traffic. What type of scan is Cindy attempting here?

    • The type of scan she is using is called a NULL scan.
    • Cindy is attempting to find live hosts on her company’s network by using a XMAS scan.
    • Cindy is using a half-open scan to find live hosts on her network.
    • She is utilizing a RST scan to find live hosts that are listening on her network.
  6. An attacker uses different types of password cracking techniques to crack the password and gain unauthorized access to a system.

    • Reactive
    • Deterrent
    • Preventive
  8. According to the company’s security policy, all access to any network resources must use Windows Active Directory Authentication. A Linux server was recently installed to run virtual servers and it is not using Windows Authentication. What needs to happen to force this server to use Windows Authentication?

    • Edit the ADLIN file.
    • Remove the /var/bin/localauth.conf file.
    • Edit the PAM file to enforce Windows Authentication.
    • Edit the shadow file.
  9. Which VPN QoS model guarantees the traffic from one customer edge (CE) to another?

    • Pipe model
    • Hose model
    • AAA model
    • Hub-and-Spoke VPN model
  10. Heather has been tasked with setting up and implementing VPN tunnels to remote offices. She will most likely be implementing IPsec VPN tunnels to connect the offices. At what layer of the OSI model does an IPsec tunnel function on?

    • They function on the data link layer.
    • They work on the network layer.
    • They function on either the application or the physical layer.
    • They work on the session layer.
  11. Management asked their network administrator to suggest an appropriate backup medium for their backup plan that best suits their organization’s need. Which of the following factors will the administrator consider when deciding on the appropriate backup medium? (Choose all that apply.)

    • Reliability
    • Capability
    • Accountability
    • Extensibility
  12. John wants to implement a firewall service that works at the session layer of the OSI model. The firewall must also have the ability to hide the private network information. Which type of firewall service is John thinking of implementing?

    • Packet Filtering
    • Circuit level gateway
    • Application level gateway
    • Stateful Multilayer Inspection
  13. Which of the following attack signature analysis techniques are implemented to examine the header information and conclude that a packet has been altered?

    • Atomic signature-based analysis
    • Content-based signature analysis
    • Context-based signature analysis
  14. Lyle is the IT director for a medium-sized food service supply company in Nebraska. Lyle’s company employs over 300 workers, half of which use computers. He recently came back from a security training seminar on logical security. He now wants to ensure his company is as secure as possible. Lyle has many network nodes and workstation nodes across the network. He does not have much time for implementing a network-wide solution. He is primarily concerned about preventing any external attacks on the network by using a solution that can drop packets if they are found to be malicious. Lyle also wants this solution to be easy to implement and be network-wide. What type of solution would be best for Lyle?

    • He should choose a HIPS solution, as this is best suited to his needs.
    • Lyle would be best suited if he chose a NIPS implementation.
    • A NEPT implementation would be the best choice.
