72 What is IPv4?

A

connectionless protocol to use on packet switched networks.
Operates on best effort delivery model, it doesn’t guarantee delivery, it doesn’t assure proper sequening or avoidance of duplicate delivery. We added other protocols on top of IP to ensure those. TCP protocol made to fix these.

Q

76 What is ARP Address Resolution Protocol? What is RARP?

A

Translates IP addresses into MAC addresses. It is always trusting. Victim to ARP cache poisoning attack usually with Default Gateway. ARP sends out a request to the network “does any know the physical address for this ip address “ as multicast. A switch or phsycial device responds in unicast. but an attacker can respond. RARP=Reverse ARP is ued by diskless workstations to get IPs. It sends out this is my MAC address, then here is your IP address.

Q
  1. What ICMP? Internet control message protocol.
A

Used to troubleshoot IP. It sends Ping (echo request) and TTL Exceeds in Traceroute. Check if server is up. Some servers to block icmp replies like firewalls.

26
Q

76 What is Traceroute?

A

It used ICMP to trace a network route. Uses TTL value in somewhat reverse. We do it until the destination is reached (max of 30 hops)

27
Q

76 What is telnet? what is SSH

A

Remote access over a network. TCP port 23. all data is plaintext including username and password. shouldn’t be used. Attachkers with newtork access can sniff crednetials.
ssh v1 had vulnerabiltyes. v2 2as more secure but not anymore by snowden leak. Designed to replace/add secruity to telnet, ftp, http…BothanSpy (windows) and Gyrfalcon (Linux) can implant that targets the SSH client.

28
Q
  1. FTP? SFTP? FTPS? TFTP
A

FTP uses TCP port 20 and 21. Not secure. SFTP uses SSH to add security to FTP. FTPS, uses TLS and SSL to add security layer to FTP session. Trivial FTP uses UDP Port 69. No authentication or directory structure, files are written and read form one directory/tftpboot. Uses for Boostrapping, downloading an OS voer the network for diskless workstations. Used for saving router configuations.

29
Q

77 What port is HTTP and HTTPS? And what protocol?

A

Both use TCP protocol. HTTP is 80 (8008 and 8080) and Http is port 443 and 8443.

30
Q

77 Whatis BOOTP Bootstrap porotocal? What port does it use?

A

Used for diskless workstations which determines OS and IP addresses. (downloaded with tftp. Most BIOS support BOOTP, which can use OS without a disk. Used UDP Port 67 for server and port 69 for client.

31
Q

What is DHCP Dynamic Host configuration protocol?

A

protocol to assignng IPs controlled by a DHCP server. you home network has one, uses UDP ort 67 for server and UDP port 68 for client.

32
Q

77 How do Email server protocols work?

A

1 MUA (mail user agent) Send SMTP to MSA (mail submission agent) email server 2 send to DNS server 3 DNS responds to any MX (mail exchange) records 4 MSA sends to MTA (mail transfer agent) 5 MDA delivers to Jane 6 Jane’s MUA pick up either POP3 or IMAP

33
Q

77 DNS port? What are the 3 servers ? What is a common attack? Whatis DNSSEC DNS Security Extnesions

A

TCP and UDP port 53. Authoritative name servers: the autoehrity fora given name space. 2 Recursive name server: tries to resolve names it doesn’t already know. Cache name server: Keeps previously resovled names in a temp cache. Common attack is DNS poisoning similar to ARP poisoning, an attacker sends a fake address/name combo to another DNS sercer when asked and the server keeps it in its DNSrecords until it expires. DNS has no native authenitcation. DNSSEC provides authentication and integrity using PKI encryption. Doesn’t provide confidentiality. it is a signature for DNS.

34
Q

77 What is SNMP? Simple Network Management Protocol.

A

Used to monitor devices in the network. Must be installed on client. SNMPv1 and v2 send data in cleartext. v2 is widely used but should be avoided. v3 uses encryption CIA. This should be standard.v2 widely used. attackers can controll your device using v2. v1 is less dangerous, only uses cleartext only send data. v2 can controll device. Solarwinds example.

35
Q

78 What is Crosstalk? What is Attenuatin? What is copper ethernet cables called?

A

Crosstalk is signal crossing from oen cable to antoher, this can be a condifentiality issue. Attentuation is the singal getting weaker the farther it travels. Copper has this. Fiber doesn’t have this. RJ45 copper ethernent cables.

36
Q

78 What 2 types of twisted pair cables?

A

UTP Unshield Twisted Pair. Twisting them makes less usceptible of EMI. 1 cable sends and 1 receives data. CAT 3 pairs are less tight. CAT 6 is more tight.
STP shielded twisted pair. metal mesh. but more thicker and expensive.

37
Q

78 Fiber cables length max?

A

150miles+ 240km+. Single and Multil mode fiber. Single is used for long disntance and IP backbones. Multimode (datacenter) is done with WDM wavelnght divison multiplexing.

38
Q

79 What is CSMA Carrier Sense Multiple Access?

A

LAN technology, CSMA : clients on a network check to see if the hared line is in use, if not they will send their data. If idle, they send, if in use, they wait random amount of time in milliseconds.

39
Q

79 What is CSMA/CD Collison Detection

A

Used for systems that can send and receive at the same time like Ethernet. While transmitting, they monitor the network. they send a Jam signal to tell the other nodes to stop sending.

40
Q

79 What is CSMA Carrier Sense multiple Access CA Collison avoidance?

A

Used in wireless. Check if idle and send if in use and wait. They are not aware of other clients. If there is a lot of congestion, the clietn can send a RTS Request to Send and if the host replies with CTS Clear to Send, similar to a token, the client will transmit. The AP Access Point determines who can send.

41
Q

79 What is ARCNET Attached Rersource Comptuer Network? What is Token Ring? FDDI Fiber Distriuted Data Interface.

A

Legacy systems. Used network tokens for traffic, no collision. Used a star topology. 2.5mbps . Token ring. Same thng. as ARCNET but faster 16mbps. FDDI Used token bus for traffic, no collisiions. Ring. Ruber fiber and not copper. 100 mbps.

42
Q

79 What is Bus Topology? What is Tree (Hierarchical) Topology?

A

Legacy tech. Bus: All nodes are connected in a line. each node inspects traffic and passes it. Not very stable. Single node can break it. Tree: Base of the tree topology , like mainframe. If single nodes fails, whole system fails.

43
Q

79 What is Ring and Star Topologies? What are 2 types of Star?

A

These are LAN Topology legacy. All nodes are connect as a ring. Star is used today. Use for Ethernet.All nodes are connected wit ha switch.If switch, no token passing or collison detections is needed. If we use a hub, collision will still occur. and unsecure. Hub operates in OSI physical layer, switch operates on the OSI data link layer.

44
Q

79 What is a Mesh? What are 2 types?

A

Nodes are connected to each other in partial or full mesh. Used in high availablity env. Need in load balancing and keep alive env.
