Q

The administrator would like to use the strongest encryption level possible using PSK without utilizing an additional authentication server. What encryption type should be implemented?

A

Since he wishes to use a pre-shared key and not require an authentication server, WPA personal is the most secure choice. If WPA2 Personal were an option, it would be more secure, though. WPA2 Enterprise is incorrect since the requirement was for a PSK, whereas WPA2 Enterprise requires a RADIUS authentication server to be used with individual usernames and passwords for each client. MAC filtering does not use a password or preshared key. WEP uses a pre-shared key to secure a wireless network, but WPA uses a stronger encryption standard than WEP.

Multicast

A

Multicasting addresses messages for a specific group of devices in a network. Note that, even if a group contains all the devices in a network, multicast is theoretically different from the broadcast. This difference consists that, in the multicast case, devices effectively subscribe to receive messages. In the broadcast case, however, devices receive messages regardless of whether or not they want to.

Q

Broadcast

A

The broadcast addressing method considers the communication through a network that involves a single sender (source) and multiple receivers (destinations). By default, the broadcast receivers are every device connected to the same network as the sender. So, using the same analogy as for unicast, we can comprehend the broadcast communication as some person (sender) in a party (network) standing up on a table and shouting a message to everyone (receivers) listening.

Q

Anycast

A

The anycast addressing method forwards messages to a single device of a specific group of devices. Typically, considering the sender’s position, the topologically nearest device of the aimed anycast group will receive the message. In our party (network) example, we can comprehend anycast communication when a person (sender) will leave the party but first wants to say goodbye to the hosts (anycast group). As the party is going on and most of the hosts are occupied with several guests, it is okay to say goodbye to a single one. So, the person looks around and finds the closest party host (destination), thanks for the party, and goes away.

Q

Unicast

A

The unicast addressing method indicates that communication through a network involves a unique sender (source) and a single receiver (destination). Making an analogy, we can see unicast communication as a particular conversation with a single person (unicast) at a party with many people (network). Thus, addressing messages with the unicast method supposes private communication. However, since other entities can intercept the messages, employing unicast addressing doesn’t guarantee private communication in the network. In the analogy of a party, similarly, just the fact of talking to a single person doesn’t imply that other people near you will not listen to the conversation.

A

Nmap, or Network Mapper, is a cross-platform, open-source tool used to scan IP addresses and ports on a target network, and to detect running services, applications, or operating systems on that network’s clients, servers, and devices.

58
Q

Which of the following BEST describes how a DHCP reservation works?

A

When the client requests an IP address by sending a message on the network to the DHCP server, the DHCP server will assign an IP from its DHCP scope to the client and reserve it based on its MAC address. DHCP reservations allow the DHCP server to pre-set an IP address to a specific client based on its MAC address. This ensures that the client will always get the same IP address from the DHCP server when it connects to the network. DHCP reservations are usually used with servers or printers on your internal network and are rarely used with end-user or client devices.

59
Q

Sahra connects a pair of switches using redundant links. When she checks the link status of the two ports, one of them is not active. She changes the inactive link to another switchport, but the second link still remains inactive. What MOST likely is causing the second link to become disabled?

A

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. If STP detects a switching loop being created by the redundant connection, it will disable the switchport automatically.

60
Q

What is IGRP?

A

The Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP) is a distance-vector interior gateway protocol developed by Cisco to exchange routing data within an autonomous system. IGRP is used with layer 3 devices (routers) and not layer 2 devices (switches).

65
Q

What is BEST used to perform a one-time temporary posture assessment in a NAC environment?

A

A non-persistent agent is used to access the device during a one-time check-in at login.

A persistent agent is agent software that resides on the client making the connection, and a non-persistent agent is software the client runs (usually from a browser) as they are connecting so the agent can perform the checks, but the software does not permanently stay with the client after they disconnect. This is beneficial in BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policies.

66
Q

What is NAT used for?

A

Network address translation (NAT) is a method of remapping one IP address space into another by modifying network address information in the IP header of packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device. Using NAT, you can have the internal IP address of each workstation mapped to a public IP address or port when it crosses the router to access the WAN.

Q

Thomas has a server that streams media to the local network, and the device is currently visible on the network. All of the workstations on the LAN can ping the device, and all the firewalls are currently turned off. The goal is for the streaming media server to allow different workstations to watch the stream if they choose to subscribe to it. The streaming device appears to be functioning properly, but the media won’t stream when requested. Which of the following TCP/IP technologies is MOST likely not implemented properly?

Multicast
Anycast
Unicast
Broadcast

A

Multicast is a TCP/IP technology that sends out the packets to the requested devices when streaming to multiple workstations from a single streaming media server. As opposed to broadcast (one-to-all), which sends out packets to all devices, multicast (one-to-many-of-many/many-to-many-of-many) only sends packets to the clients that specifically requested to be a part of the distribution and not just every client on the network. Multicast requires the proper implementation and configuration to route the traffic to the right devices on the LAN so that streaming can properly function. Multicast works with IPv4 or IPv6. Unicast communication only has one sender and one receiver. Unicast works with IPv4 or IPv6. Broadcast communication has one sender, but it sends the traffic to every device on the network. Broadcast only works with IPv4. Anycast communications are sent to the nearest receiver in a group of receivers with the same IP. Anycast only works with IPv6.

75
Q

You have been asked to recommend a capability to monitor all of the traffic entering and leaving the corporate network’s default gateway. Additionally, the company’s CIO requests to block certain content types before it leaves the network based on operational priorities. Which of the following solution should you recommend to meet these requirements?

Install a firewall on the router’s internal interface and a NIDS on the router’s external interface

Install a NIPS on the internal interface and a firewall on the external interface of the router

Configure IP filtering on the internal and external interfaces of the router

A

Due to the requirements provided, you should install a NIPS on the gateway router’s internal interface and a firewall on the external interface of the gateway router. The firewall on the external interface will allow the bulk of the malicious inbound traffic to be filtered before reaching the network. Then, the NIPS can be used to inspect the traffic entering the network and provide protection for the network using signature-based or behavior-based analysis. A NIPS is less powerful than a firewall and could easily “fail open” if it is overcome with traffic by being placed on the external interface. The NIPS installed on the internal interface would also allow various content types to be quickly blocked using custom signatures developed by the security team. We wouldn’t want to place the NIPS on the external interface in the correct choice for the same reasons. We also wouldn’t choose to install a NIPS on both the internal and external connections. IP filtering on both interfaces of the router will not provide the ability to monitor the traffic or to block traffic based on content type. Finally, we would not want to rely on a NIDS on the external interface alone since it can only monitor and not provide the content blocking capabilities needed.

Q

You have been contracted by Dion Training to conduct a penetration test against its learning management system (LMS). The LMS is a web application that is hosted in the organization’s DMZ. Which of the following appliance allow lists should the organization add your source IP in before the engagement begins?

HIDS
DLP
NIDS
WAF

A

The learning management system (LMS) is a web application, therefore the source IP of the attacking workstation needs to be added to the web application firewall’s allow list to prevent it from being blocked. Adding a source IP address to the allow list will exclude it from ACL rules and other signatures. This prevents an active device, like a web application firewall (WAF), layer 4 firewall, or an intrusion protection system (IPS) from blocking the penetration tester during the assessment. By having your IP added to the allow list, you can focus your time and efforts on finding vulnerabilities with the servers themselves instead of trying to break through a compensating control like a WAF or IPS.

79
Q

You have just replaced the edge switch on the second floor of Dion Training. After you finish, a user states they can no longer access the network but everything was working fine yesterday before you replaced the switch. The user’s coworkers claim their computers are able to access the network without any issues. You check the back of the user’s workstation and you do not see any LED lights lit or blinking on their network interface card. Which of the following should you check next to solve this issue?

Verify the network cable is attached to the new switch
Verify the device is using the correct cable type
Verify the switch is connected to the router
Verify the network interface card is operating properly

A

Since the workstation was working yesterday, it shouldn’t fail just because you upgraded the switch. You should first double-check what changed. In this case, you unplugged the old switch and replaced it with the new switch. If you didn’t fully plug the patch cables back into the new switch after the upgrade, this would lead to no LED lights being lit on the workstation’s NIC. Similarly, if you recently moved a workstation, you would want to double-check the cable connection on the workstation itself. Based on the symptoms, this is most likely a layer 1 (physical layer) issue. You should first question the obvious and what has changed before any of the other options.

Q

What are the functions of HSRP?

A

The Hot Standby Router Protocol (HSRP) is an IP routing redundancy protocol designed to allow for transparent failover at the first-hop IP router. HSRP provides high network availability, because it routes IP traffic from hosts on networks without relying on the availability of any single router.

81
Q

What does can a Asymmetric routing cause in transferring data?

A

Asymmetric routing is when network packets leave via one path and return via a different path (unlike symmetric routing, in which packets come and go using the same path). Remember, asymmetric routing doesn’t cause any routing issues necessarily, but they do cause issues with dropped packet flows by our security devices like firewalls and unified threat management systems, so you need to consider this in the design of your network architectures to prevent this issue from occurring. If you don’t, then packet flow drops will occur and your clients can experience network intermittent connectivity.
