It analyzes network traffic and system logs to detect any suspicious or malicious activity and alerts the system administrator. Unlike a packet sniffer, which simply captures and analyzes network packets, an IDS is proactive in identifying and responding to potential threats. Similarly, an IPS (Intrusion Prevention System) is also designed to identify and prevent attacks, but it actively blocks or mitigates the threats instead of just alerting the administrator. A port scanner, on the other hand, is used to identify open ports on a network, but it does not have the capability to detect attacks.Rate this question:

QUESTION NO: 243 A packet sniffer has been placed on a network and shows client A is sending TCP SYN packets to server B. Which of the following packets should be sent from server B in response?
- A.
SYN-NAK
- B.
SYN-ACK
- C.
ACK
- D.
NAK
Correct Answer
B. SYN-ACKExplanation
When a client sends a TCP SYN packet to a server, it is initiating a connection request. In response to this, the server should send a SYN-ACK packet. This packet confirms the receipt of the client's SYN packet and also includes a SYN flag to establish a connection. The client will then respond with an ACK packet to acknowledge the server's SYN-ACK packet, completing the three-way handshake process and establishing a TCP connection between the client and the server.Rate this question:

QUESTION NO: 244 Which of the following Ethemet technologies has the shortest transmission distance?
- A.
I0Base-T
- B.
I0GBase-T
- C.
I00Base-T
- D.
I0GBase-SR
Correct Answer
B. I0GBase-TExplanation
The correct answer is I0GBase-T. I0GBase-T is an Ethernet technology that supports data transmission at a rate of 10 gigabits per second (Gbps) over twisted-pair copper cables. However, it has a shorter transmission distance compared to other Ethernet technologies like I0GBase-SR, which supports transmission over fiber optic cables.Rate this question:

QUESTION NO: 245 A network technician is implementing new wireless access points in an existing wireless infrastructure. The security is the WPA 2 standard. Which of the following encryption methods may not be compatible with the previously installed access points?
- A.
TKIP
- B.
3DES
- C.
AES
- D.
CHAP
Correct Answer
C. AESExplanation
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a symmetric encryption method that is commonly used in wireless networks. It provides a high level of security and is compatible with most wireless access points. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) is an older encryption method that is not as secure as AES and may not be compatible with newer access points. 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) is a symmetric encryption algorithm that is also compatible with most access points. CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol and is not directly related to encryption compatibility.Rate this question:

QUESTION NO: 246 In a Class C subnet, a network ID may occupy a maximum of:
- A.
24bits.
- B.
16bits.
- C.
31 bits.
- D.
32bits.
Correct Answer
A. 24bits.Explanation
In a Class C subnet, the network ID may occupy a maximum of 24 bits. This is because a Class C subnet uses a default subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, which means that the first 24 bits are reserved for the network ID and the remaining 8 bits are used for host addresses. This allows for a maximum of 2^24 or 16,777,216 possible network IDs in a Class C subnet.Rate this question:
