7. Which statement describes a characteristic of cloud computing?

Applications can be accessed over the Internet through a subscription.

Investment in new infrastructure is required in order to access the cloud.
Devices can connect to the Internet through existing electrical wiring.
A business can connect directly to the Internet without the use of an ISP.

Explanation: Cloud computing allows users to access applications, back up and store files,
and perform tasks without needing additional software or servers. Cloud users access
resources through subscription-based or pay-per-use services, in real time, using nothing
more than a web browser.

8. What technology enables a cell phone to be used as a hands-free device?

Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
Yosemite
4G

Explanation: Bluetooth provides a way to connect wireless devices, such as headsets, to a

nearby mobile device. Wi-Fi and 4G provide WAN access to voice and data. Yosemite is the
code name applied to a recent version of Apple OS X.

9. What is the primary means for mitigating virus and Trojan horse attacks?

encryption
antisniffer software
antivirus software
blocking ICMP echo and echo-replies

Explanation: Antivirus software is the primary means of mitigating both virus and Trojan
horse attacks. By using up-to-date antivirus software, the spread of viruses and Trojan horse
attacks can be reduced.

10. What type of program installs and gathers personal information, including password
and account information, from a computer without permission or knowledge of the user?

pop-ups
pop-unders
spyware
adware

Explanation: An unauthorized program that gathers personal information from a computer is

known as spyware.

11. What type of attack is the ping of death?

denial of service
brute force
social engineering
virus

Explanation: The ping death is a denial of service attack and involves sending IP packets
that are too large to a target device with the goal of disrupting the function of the device so
that its services are denied to users.

12. What is the term used when a malicious party sends a fraudulent email disguised as
being from a legitimate, trusted source?

backdoor
phishing
vishing
Trojan

Explanation: Phishing is used by malicious parties who create fraudulent messages that
attempt to trick a user into either sharing sensitive information or installing malware.

13. Which wireless access point association parameter is used by the wireless client to
distinguish between multiple wireless networks in the same vicinity?

SSID
network mode
password
channel setting

Explanation: Wireless access points are used to bridge traffic between wireless devices and
other devices on the network. A wireless device uses the SSID association parameters to
distinguish between multiple wireless networks. The SSID uniquely identifies a wireless LAN
and is broadcast by most wireless access points.

14. What is a feature that can be used by an administrator to prevent unauthorized users
from connecting to a wireless access point?

MAC filtering
software firewall
WPA encryption
proxy server

Explanation: Limiting a certain set of MAC addresses to connect to an access point is a way
to ensure that only those devices are allowed to use the wireless network. A software firewall
is used to prevent other users from gaining access to the protected computer. Configuring
WPA encryption does not guarantee that the unauthorized user will not find the way to connect
to the network. A proxy server is mostly used to filter traffic based on content.

15. A network administrator has decided to use WPA2 for security in a WLAN. Which
statement describes WPA2?

WPA2 requires use of an open authentication method.

WPA2 uses preconfigured keys to encrypt and decrypt data.
WPA2 specifies the use of a static encryption key that must be changed frequently to
enhance security.
WPA2 specifies the use of a dynamic encryption key.

Explanation: WPA2, unlike WEP which uses preconfigured keys, generates new, dynamic
keys each time a client establishes a connection with the AP.

16. What is the purpose of a DMZ?

It analyzes traffic for intrusion attempts and sends reports to management stations.
It provides secure connectivity for clients that connect to the internal network through a
wireless LAN.
It allows external hosts to access specific company servers while maintaining the
security restrictions for the internal network.
It creates an encrypted and authenticated tunnel for remote hosts to access the internal
network.

Explanation: The DMZ is an area of the network that is accessible to both internal and
external users. It is more secure than the external network but not as secure as the internal
network. It allows external hosts to access internal servers.
