Fill in the blank with the appropriate word. A__________________ policy is defined as the document that describes the scope of an organization's security requirements.

  1. security

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

A security policy is defined as the document that describes the scope of an organization's security requirements. Information security policies are usually documented in one or more information security policy documents. The policy includes the assets that are to be protected. It also provides security solutions to provide necessary protection against the security threats.



Which of the following is a Unix and Windows tool capable of intercepting traffic on a network segment and capturing username and password?

  1. AirSnort
  2. Ettercap
  3. BackTrack
  4. Aircrack

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Ettercap is a Unix and Windows tool for computer network protocol analysis and security auditing. It is capable of intercepting traffic on a network segment, capturing passwords, and conducting active eavesdropping against a number of common protocols. It is a free open source software. Ettercap supports active and passive dissection of many protocols (including ciphered ones) and provides many features for network and host analysis.
Answer option C is incorrect. BackTrack is a Linux distribution distributed as a Live CD, which is used for penetration testing. It allows users to include customizable scripts, additional tools and configurable kernels in personalized distributions. It contains various tools, such as Metasploit integration, RFMON injection capable wireless drivers, kismet, autoscan-network (network discovering and managing application), nmap, ettercap, wireshark (formerly known as Ethereal).
Answer option A is incorrect. AirSnort is a Linux-based WLAN WEP cracking tool that recovers encryption keys. AirSnort operates by passively monitoring transmissions. It uses Ciphertext Only Attack and captures approximately 5 to 10 million packets to decrypt the WEP keys. Answer option D is incorrect. Aircrack is the fastest WEP/WPA cracking tool used for 802.11a/b/g WEP and WPA cracking.



Which of the following standards is a proposed enhancement to the 802.11a and 802.11b wireless LAN (WLAN) specifications that offers quality of service (QoS) features, including the prioritization of data, voice, and video transmissions?

  1. 802.15
  2. 802.11n
  3. 802.11e
  4. 802.11h

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The 802.11e standard is a proposed enhancement to the 802.11a and 802.11b wireless LAN (WLAN) specifications. It offers quality of service (QoS) features, including the prioritization of data, voice, and video transmissions. 802.11e enhances the 802.11 Media Access Control layer (MAC layer) with a coordinated time division multiple access (TDMA) construct, and adds error-correcting mechanisms for delay-sensitive applications such as voice and video. Answer option D is incorrect. 802.11h refers to the amendment added to the IEEE 802.11 standard for Spectrum and Transmit Power Management Extensions.
Answer option B is incorrect. 802.11n is an amendment to the IEEE 802.11-2007 wireless networking standard to improve network throughput over the two previous standards - 802.11a and 802.11g - with a significant increase in the maximum raw data rate from 54 Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s with the use of four spatial streams at a channel width of 40 MHz. Answer option A is incorrect. IEEE 802.15 is a working group of the IEEE 802 and specializes in Wireless PAN (Personal Area Network) standards. It includes seven task groups, which are as follows:
1.Task group 1 (WPAN/Bluetooth)
2.Task group 2 (Coexistence)
3.Task group 3 (High Rate WPAN)
4.Task group 4 (Low Rate WPAN)
5.Task group 5 (Mesh Networking)
6.Task Group 6 (BAN)
7.Task group 7 (VLC)



Which of the following key features is used by TCP in order to regulate the amount of data sent by a host to another host on the network?

  1. Sequence number
  2. TCP timestamp
  3. Congestion control
  4. Flow control

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Flow control is the process of regulating the amount of data sent by a host to another host on the network. The flow control mechanism controls packet flow so that a sender does not transmit more packets than a receiver can process. TCP uses a sliding window flow control protocol. In each TCP segment, the receiver specifies in the receive window field the amount of additional received data (in bytes) that it is willing to buffer for the connection. The sending host can send only up to that amount of data before it must wait for an acknowledgment and window update from the receiving host.
Answer option A is incorrect. TCP uses a sequence number for identifying each byte of data.
Answer option B is incorrect. TCP timestamp helps TCP to compute the round-trip time between the sender and receiver.
Answer option C is incorrect. Congestion control concerns controlling traffic entry into a telecommunications network, so as to avoid congestive collapse by attempting to avoid oversubscription of any of the processing or link capabilities of the intermediate nodes and networks and taking resource reducing steps, such as reducing the rate of sending packets. It should not be confused with flow control, which prevents the sender from overwhelming the receiver.
