28
Q

What are the different layers in order in the TCP/IP model? Start with layer 1.

A
  1. Network Interface
  2. Internet
  3. Transport
  4. Application
29
Q

What does the Network Interface layer do in the TCP/IP model?

A

Describes how to transmit bits accross a network and determines how the network medium is going to be used. Like twister pair copper cable, CoAxial Cable, wireless etc.

30
Q

What does the Internet layer do in the TCP/IP model?

A

The Internet layer is where data is taken and packaged into IP datagrams. Protocols include ARP, IP, ICMP, Reverse ARP etc.

31
Q

What does the Transport layer do in the TCP/IP model?

A

Defines the level of service and the status of the connection being used by TCP, UDP, or RTP

32
Q

What does the Application layer do in the TCP/IP model?

A

Dictates how programs are going to interface with the transport layer by conduction session management. The protocols in this layer are HTTP, SNMP, DNS, FTP, Telnet, SSH, SMTP, SSL/TLS etc.

33
Q

What is a Port?

A

A Port is a logical opening on a system representing a service or application that’s listening and waiting for traffic. Ports are numbered from 0 - 65535.

34
Q

What range of ports are Well-Known/Reserved Ports?

A

Ports 0 - 1023

35
Q

What are Ephemeral Ports?

A

Ephemeral ports are short lived temporary ports that are opened for short period of time for pre defined ranges.

36
Q

What range of ports are Ephemeral Ports?

A

Ports 1024 - 65535

37
Q

What information does a IPv4 packet consists of?

A

source address, destination address, IP flags and protocols

38
Q

What are the sizes of a TCP and a UDP header?

A

TCP Header: 20 bytes
UDP Header: 8 bytes

39
Q

What tool can be used to scan for open ports?

40
Q

How does a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) work?

A

By conducting a three-way handshake between a client and a server, thereby establishing a connection

41
Q

Please Answer true or false.
1. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol
2. Sender cannot resend a packet if the end user did not receive a packet
3. UDP can detect if packets are corrupted when they are received by a client
4. UDP is reliable than TCP

A
  1. True
  2. False
  3. True
  4. False
42
Q

What is an Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)?

A

A Protocol used to communicate information about network connectivity issues back to the sender

43
Q

True or False.
Does “ping” use the ICMP protocol?

44
Q

What is a Genereic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) protocol?

A

A protocol used as a simple and effective way to create a tunnel, called a GRE tunnel, over a public network.

45
Q

Does a GRE tunnel provide encryption?

46
Q

What is an alternative protocol that can create a tunnel over a public network and also provide encryption?

A

Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)

47
Q

What is an Internet Protocol Security (IPSec)?

A

A set of secure network communication protocols that operates at the network or packet processing layer and is used to protect one or more data flows between peers.

48
Q

What are the two underlying protocols of IPSec?

A
  1. Authentication Header (AH)
  2. Encapsulating Security Payload
49
Q

What is the Authentication Header (AH) in IPSec?

A

A protocol that provides integrity and authentication

50
Q

What is Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) in IPSec?

A

Provides encryption and integrity for the data packets sent over IPSec
