To all of you network security guru's Can anyone provide the answers below? I have a bet going with a colleague he was wrong on half of them, however, I would like to double check with the answers I have. Tell me if my answers are wrong as they are next to the question: 1) What information is stored in the ARP cache? A a) IPaddresses matched to MAC addresses b) Network Routes c) Network protocols d) Network Names e) Hardware configuration alignment to network standards 2) An Ethernet network uses what network access method? C a) CSMA/CA b) ALOHA c) CSMA/CD d) TCP/IP e) Random 3) Why is OSPF called a link-state routing protocol? B a) It links networks together b) It monitors the state of network links or paths c) It links static routes together d) It translates between host and network links e) It defines Wide Area Network routes 4) What type of attack is a SYN flood attack? A a) Denial of Service b) Software Destruction c) Hardware Destruction d) Information Gathering e) False data placement 5) What is the first step in the address resolution process? A a) ARP looks for the name of the user in the cache b) ARP contacts a router for a route c) ARP checks for media type. d) ARP checks for the address on the Internet e) ARP checks if the address is on the local network 6) If your client were concerned about intrusions where attacks looked as though they were coming from a trusted source, what kind of attack would they be expecting? B a) IP counterfeiting. b) IP spoofing. c) IP capture. d) IP mirroring. e) IP matching 7) Which defines encryption? E a) It is a service that provides multiple copies of information to servers participating in the Security Module. b) It is the process of replicating data to prevent unauthorized access during transmission. c) It is a service that provides multiple copies of information to servers participating in the Management Module. d) It is the process of encoding date for platform independent access. e) It is the process of encoding data to prevent unauthorized access during transmission. 8) Bob is attempting to connect to an ftp server named ftp.files.com which resides on a separate subnet within Bob's organization. Bob cannot ping the server using its IP address. He can successfully ping his default gateway and the addresses of other computers on the same subnet as the ftp server. What is most likely the cause of the problem? E a) Bob's computer is set up with an incorrect default gateway b) Bob's computer has an incorrect subnet mask c) The IP configuration on the ftp server is incorrect d) The hosts file on Bob's computer has no entry for ftp.files.com e) There is no DNS configuration for ftp.files.com 9) The act of a packet, sent by a malicious or errant source, lying about the host from which it came is called ________. E a) replacement. b) substitution. c) Piggy-backing. d) counterfeiting. e) spoofing. 10) Ralph wants to configure a Windows NT Server machine as a multihomed gateway/router. Which of the following must Ralph do? B a) Assign each IP address a different address class b) Configure each network adapter with a unique subnet mask c) Enable IP forwarding d) Define TCP conventions e) Configure each network adapter with the same subnet mask 11) Pete is unable to access a server on a remote subnet. After monitoring the network with a network analysis tool, Pete discovers that his computer is broadcasting an ARP request for the MAC address associated with the IP of the remote server. No other users are having difficulty accessing the server. What is most likely the problem? a) Pete's computer has incorrect DNS configuration. C b) Pete's computer has an incorrect subnet mask. c) Pete's computer has an incorrect default gateway. d) The server has an incorrect default gateway. e) The router has an incorrect subnet mask. 12) You have the network ID 209.168.19.0. You occupy four offices of a building. You create a subnet for each office. You want to allow for the largest possible number of host IDs on each subnet. Which subnet mask do you choose? A a) 255.255.255.209 b) 255.255.255.192 c) 255.255.255.252 d) 255.255.255.240 e) 255.255.255.248 13) You are at a host machine that is connected to a TCP/IP network. You ping 127.0.0.1 and fail to get a response. What is the most probable cause of the problem? a) TCP/IP is not properly installed on the workstation. A b) The default gateway address on the workstation is incorrect. c) The subnet mask on the workstation is incorrect. d) The host machine is not set up for DHCP. e) There is no DNS server defined. 14) What command do you use to see the routing tables of a Windows NT Server computer? D a) arp b) nbtstat c) route d) netstat e) show 15) Which of the following is NOT a way to prevent routing loops? E a) Define a maximum hop count b) Split horizon c) Triggered updates d) Poison Reverse e) Count to infinity 16) What is the sequence of packet exchange before a TCP session is established? C a) SYN,SYN/ACK,ACK b) SYN,SYN/ACK,FIN c) SYN/ACK,ACK,FIN d) SYN,FIN,RST e) RST,SYN,SYN/ACK,ACK 17) What packet is used to abruptly close a TCP connection? D a) ACK b) HLT c) STP d) RST e) FIN 18) What is the standard port number for FTP data connections? B a) 20 b) 21 c) 23 d) 25 e) 80 19) Which of the following will append /etc/fw/bin to the currunt path in the UNIX Bourne Shell: D a) set path=$PATH;/etc/fw/bin;export PATH b) set path=$PATH:/etc/fw/bin;export PATH c) set path $PATH;/etc/fw/bin:export PATH d) set path $PATH:/etc/fw/bin:export PATH e) set path=PATH;/etc/fw/bin:export PATH 20) Which command is used to list processes currently running on the system?
