Exam 4: Secure Networks

In a P2P attack, there is a change in the overall volume of traffic but the traffic pattern is the same.

The original 802.11 core security protocol, ________, was deeply flawed.

Using a shared initial key is dangerous in ________.

In normal ARP traffic, generally an attacker on the same network cannot see traffic between two hosts.

Most central authentication servers are governed by the ________ standard.

Focusing electronic attacks on specific high-value targets is known as whaling.

Rerouting traffic using ARP poisoning is an attack on ________ of a network.

Secure wireless networks can be legally accessed by anyone and are frequently posted as such.

What was the first core wireless security standard?

RC4 uses WEP for fast and therefore cheap encryption.

Wireless IDSs get their data from the company's access points.

ARP is used to resolve 48-bit IP addresses into 32-bit local MAC addresses.

The most common attack against a wireless network is a wireless DoS attack.

Ensuring appropriate network ________ means preventing attackers from altering the capabilities or operation of the network.

In regards to network security, ________ is the policy-driven control of access to systems, data, and dialogues.

WEP mandates private keys.

SYN-ACK can be best described as the second part of a three-way TCP handshake sent in response to a SYN.

DoS network attacks are fairly uncommon.

RTS frames tell other wireless clients that you want to transmit for a given amount of time.

A DoS attack makes a server or network unavailable by flooding it with attack packets.
