these network devices using the same interface. Which of the following

protocols should be implemented?

The newest fully supported version of SSL

b)

The newest fully supported version of TLS

c)

The newest fully supported version of LDAPS

d)

The newest fully supported version of SNMP

2.

transferred over the internal network must be encrypted. Which of the

following protocols would BEST meet this requirement?

a)

FTP

b)

SSH

c)

SNMPv3

d)

SRTP

3.

Maggie needs to collect network device configuration information and

network statistics from devices on the network. She wants to protect the

confidentiality of credentials used to connect to these devices. Which of the

following protocols would BEST meet this need?

a)

SSH

b)

FTPS

c)

SNMPv3

d)

TLS

4.

You are trying to determine what information attackers can gain about

your organization using network reconnaissance methods via the Internet.

Using a public wireless hot spot, you issue the following command:

nslookup -querytype=mx gcgapremium.com

You then see these results:

Server: UnKnown

Address: 10.0.0.1

Non-authoritative answer:

gcgapremium.com MX preference = 90, mail exchanger =

mx1.emailsrvr.com

gcgapremium.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger =

mx2.emailsrvr.com

What does this tell you?

a)

10.0.0.1 is the IP address of the primary mail server.

b)

gcgapremium.com is unknown to DNS.

c)

The mx1.emailsrvr.com is a backup mail server.

d)

The MX servers are showing too much information to the public.

5.

Administrators are configuring a server within your organization’s

screened subnet. This server will have the following capabilities when it is

fully configured:

1) It will use RRSIG.

2) It will perform authenticated requests for A records.

3) It will perform authenticated requests for AAAA records.

What BEST identifies the capabilities of this server?

a)

SSH

b)

SNMPv3

c)

S/MIME

d)

DNSSEC

6.

Maggie regularly connects to a remote server named gcga using Secure

Shell (ssh) from her Linux system. However, she has trouble remembering

the password, and she wants to avoid using it without sacrificing security.

She creates a cryptographic key pair to use instead. Which of the following

commands is the BEST choice to use after creating the key pair?

a)

ssh-copy-id -i ~.ssh/id_rsa.pub maggie@gcga

b)

chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa

c)

ssh-keygen -t rsa

d)

ssh root@gcga

7.

organization’s screened subnet. Which of the following use cases are you

MOST likely supporting with this action?

a)

Encrypting voice and video transmissions

b)

Providing time synchronization

c)

Enabling email usage

d)

Encrypting data-in-transit

8.

Your organization has several switches in use throughout the internal

network. Management wants to implement a security control to prevent

unauthorized access to these switches within the network. Which of the

following choices would BEST meet this need?

a)

Disable unused ports.

b)

Disable STP.

c)

Enable SSH.

d)

Enable DHCP.

9.

Network administrators manage network devices remotely. However, a

recent security audit discovered they are using a protocol that allows them

to send credentials over the network in cleartext. Which of the following

methods should be adopted to eliminate this vulnerability?

a)

Use SNMPv2c.

b)

Use SSH.

c)

Use SSL.

d)

Use SFTP.

10.

Which of the following devices would MOST likely have the following

entries used to define its operation?

permit IP any any eq 443

deny IP any any

a)

Firewall

b)

Proxy server

c)

Web server

d)

Jump server

11.

Your organization’s network looks like the following graphic, and you’ve been asked to verify that Firewall 1 has the correct settings. All firewalls should enforce the following requirements:

1) Use only secure protocols for remote management.

2) Block cleartext web traffic.

b)

HTTP Outbound

c)

DNS

d)

SSH

e)

None. All rules are correct.

12.

The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant has several stand-alone computers

used for monitoring. Employees log on to these computers using a local
