Which of the following are forms of malicious attack?

A. Theft of information
B. Modification of data
C. Wiping of information
D. All of the mentioned

What are the common security threats?

A. File shredding
B. File sharing and permission
C. File corrupting
D. File integrity

Explanation: Sharing and associated permissions are usual exploits which can compromise the system.

Which of the following is a good practice?

A. Give full permission for remote transferring
B. Grant read only permission
C. Grant limited permission to specified account
D. Give both read and write permission but not execute

Explanation: Limited access is a key method to circumvent unauthorized access and exploits.

What is not a good practice for user administration?

A. Isolating a system after a compromise
B. Perform random auditing procedures
C. Granting privileges on a per host basis
D. Using telnet and ftp for remote access

Explanation: Telnet and FTP are not encrypted and can be compromised.

Which of the following is the least secure method of authentication?

A. Key card
B. Fingerprint
C. Retina pattern
D. Password

Explanation: Passwords can be compromised more easily than to replicate a physical thing like key card, fingerprint or retina.

Which of the following is a strong password?

A. 19thaugust88
B. Delhi88
C. P@assw0rd
D. !augustdelhi

Explanation: It has a combination of Alphabet both capital and small along with number and special character. Thus always use complex password with a combination of all these.

Why is one time password safe?

A. It is easy to generated
B. It cannot be shared
C. It is different for every access
D. It is a complex encrypted password

Explanation: One time password is safe since it is generated per access and thus cannot be brute forced or deduced.

What does Light Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) doesn’t store?

A. Users
B. Address
C. Passwords
D. Security keys

What is characteristic of RADIUS system?

A. It is essential for centralized encryption and authentication
B. It works on network layer to deny access to unauthorized people
C. It provides centralized authentication mechanism via network devices
D. It’s a strong file access system
