QUESTION: 13

Which of the following is designed to detect the unwanted presence of fire by monitoring environmental changes associated with combustion?

Fire sprinkler
Fire suppression system
Fire alarm system
Gaseous fire suppression

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

An automatic fire alarm system is designed for detecting the unwanted presence of fire by monitoring environmental changes associated with combustion. In general, a fire alarm system is classified as either automatically actuated, manually actuated, or both. Automatic fire alarm systems are intended to notify the building occupants to evacuate in the event of a fire or other emergency, to report the event to an off-premises location in order to summon emergency services, and to prepare the structure and associated systems to control the spread of fire and smoke.
Answer option B is incorrect. A fire suppression system is used in conjunction with smoke detectors and fire alarm systems to improve and increase public safety.
Answer option D is incorrect. Gaseous fire suppression is a term to describe the use of inert gases and chemical agents to extinguish a fire.
Answer option A is incorrect. A fire sprinkler is the part of a fire sprinkler system that discharges water when the effects of a fire have been detected, such as when a predetermined temperature has been reached.

QUESTION: 14

Which of the following is an intrusion detection system that monitors and analyzes the internals of a computing system rather than the network packets on its external interfaces?

IPS
HIDS
DMZ
NIDS

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

A host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) produces a false alarm because of the abnormal behavior of users and the network. A host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) is an intrusion detection system that monitors and analyses the internals of a computing system rather than the network packets on its external interfaces. A host-based Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) monitors all or parts of the dynamic behavior and the state of a computer system. HIDS looks at the state of a system, its stored information, whether in RAM, in the file system, log files or elsewhere; and checks that the contents of these appear as expected.
Answer option D is incorrect. A network intrusion detection system (NIDS) is an intrusion detection system that tries to detect malicious activity such as denial of service attacks, port scans or even attempts to crack into computers by monitoring network traffic. A NIDS reads all the incoming packets and tries to find suspicious patterns known as signatures or rules. It also tries to detect incoming shell codes in the same manner that an ordinary intrusion detection system does.
Answer option A is incorrect. IPS (Intrusion Prevention Systems), also known as Intrusion Detection and Prevention Systems (IDPS), are network security appliances that monitor network and/or system activities for malicious activity. The main functions of "intrusion prevention systems" are to identify malicious activity, log information about said activity, attempt to block/stop activity, and report activity. An IPS can take such actions as sending an alarm, dropping the malicious packets, resetting the connection and/or blocking the traffic from the offending IP address. An IPS can also correct CRC, unfragment packet streams, prevent TCP sequencing issues, and clean up unwanted transport and network layer options.
Answer option C is incorrect. DMZ, or demilitarized zone, is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization's external services to a larger untrusted network, usually the Internet. The term is normally referred to as a DMZ by IT professionals. It is sometimes referred to as a Perimeter Network. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization's Local Area Network (LAN); an external attacker only has access to equipment in the DMZ rather than any other part of the network.

QUESTION: 15

Which of the following types of VPN uses the Internet as its main backbone, allowing users, customers, and branch offices to access corporate network resources across various network architectures?

PPTP VPN
Remote access VPN
Extranet-based VPN
Intranet-based VPN

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

An extranet-based VPN uses the Internet as its main backbone network, allowing users, customers, and branch offices to access corporate network resources across various network architectures. Extranet VPNs are almost identical to intranet VPNs, except that they are intended for external business partners.
Answer option D is incorrect. An intranet-based VPN is an internal, TCP/IP-based, password-protected network usually implemented for networks within a common network infrastructure having various physical locations.
Intranet VPNs are secure VPNs that have strong encryption.
Answer option B is incorrect. A remote access VPN is one of the types of VPN that involves a single VPN gateway. It allows remote users and telecommuters to connect to their corporate LAN from various points of connections. It provides significant cost savings by reducing the burden of long distance charges associated with dial-up access. Its main security concern is authentication, rather than encryption. Answer option A is incorrect. The PPTP VPN is one of the types of VPN technology.

QUESTION: 16

Which of the following is a protocol that describes an approach to providing "streamlined" support of OSI application services on top of TCP/IP-based networks for some constrained environments?

Network News Transfer Protocol
Lightweight Presentation Protocol
Internet Relay Chat Protocol
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Lightweight Presentation Protocol (LPP) is a protocol that describes an approach to providing "streamlined" support of OSI application services on top of TCP/IP-based networks for some constrained environments. This protocol was initially derived from a requirement to run the ISO Common Management Information Protocol (CMIP) in TCP/IP-based networks.
This protocol is designed for a particular class of OSI applications, namely those entities whose application context includes only an Association Control Service Element (ACSE) and a Remote Operations Service Element (ROSE).
Answer option D is incorrect. The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a computer networking protocol used by hosts (DHCP clients) to retrieve IP address assignments and other configuration information. DHCP uses a client-server architecture. The client sends a broadcast request for configuration information. The DHCP server receives the request and responds with configuration information from its configuration database. In the absence of DHCP, all hosts on a network must be manually configured individually - a time-consuming and often error-prone undertaking. DHCP is popular with ISP's because it allows a host to obtain a temporary IP address.
Answer option A is incorrect. Answer option C is incorrect. Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a chat service, which is a client-server protocol that supports real-time text chat between two or more users over a TCPIP network.
