The Basic Of Ccna Cyber Security Quiz

In the context of the enable secret global configuration mode command, level 5 refers to the privilege level at which the password will grant access. It is specifically related to exec privilege level 5 and not for other purposes such as configuration or user authentication.

In Cisco IOS, access control lists (ACLs) are processed from top down, meaning the router will check the packets against the entries in the list starting from the top and proceeding downwards until a match is found.

The correct answer allows TCP traffic from host 10.0.1.129 port 3030 to host 192.168.1.10 port www. The incorrect answers either have incorrect IP/mask combinations, incorrect port numbers, or incorrect wildcard mask usage.

The Cisco IronPort Security Gateway primarily focuses on email security features such as Spam Protection and Email Encryption. It is not designed for Intrusion Detection, Firewall Protection, or Anti-Virus Scanning.

A blended threat is a sophisticated cyberattack that combines various types of malware and techniques to exploit vulnerabilities in a system. In this case, a trojan horse attack and a day zero attack are examples of characteristics that represent a blended threat because they involve both malicious software and exploitation of unknown vulnerabilities.

A VPN security policy is typically categorized under a remote access policy as it governs how remote users should securely connect to the network.

When the 'secret 5' option is used in the username global config mode command, it indicates that the user password is hashed using MD5.

In the given 'enable secret' command, the level 5 refers to the privilege level at which the password is valid. It does not specify the length of the password, encryption algorithm, or the number of allowed attempts.

When representing an IPv6 address, you can compress consecutive sections of zeros by using a double colon (::) only once. It is not necessary to represent each group of zeros with leading zeros like '0000'. Therefore, the correct representation is 2001:0:150C::41B1:45A3:41D.

The correct answer directly addresses the reason for the login failure, which was due to an incorrect password. The incorrect answers provide alternative reasons which were not the cause of the login failure in this scenario.

The correct answer specifies that only traffic sourced from 10.10.0.10 is allowed from the 10.10.0.0 subnet. Therefore, options stating all traffic from the subnet is allowed, no traffic is allowed, or only traffic sourced from a different IP address are incorrect.

Object groups in Cisco ASA access lists allow for simplifying configuration by grouping objects together for easier management and matching multiple entries in a single statement.

An access control list applied to a router interface filters traffic that passes through the router based on the defined rules. It can filter based on various criteria, not just source IP address. The ACL can be configured to allow or deny traffic in both directions, and it applies to all types of connections, whether wireless or wired.

Synchronizing clocks on the network ensures log entries across devices are accurately timestamped, aiding in troubleshooting and correlating events.

SSH (Secure Shell) is the correct answer as it provides a secure way to remotely access and manage routers. Telnet, FTP, and HTTP are incorrect because they do not provide the same level of security for managing router sessions.

Secure network management requires mechanisms like log tampering detection and accurate time stamping to maintain the integrity and security of the network. Strong passwords, physical access control, and network bandwidth optimization are also important aspects of network security, but they do not specifically address the management considerations mentioned in the question.

The correct command to enable Cisco IOS image resilience is 'secure boot-image'. This command is used to ensure that the Cisco IOS image is secure and protected from tampering or unauthorized access.

Role-based CLI allows the configuration of different administrative views based on roles assigned to users, while SNMPv3 is a network management protocol, VLANs are used for network segmentation, and Port Mirroring is used for network traffic monitoring.

The correct methods to mitigate the activity of an attacker intercepting traffic from multiple VLANs involve setting the native VLAN on trunk ports to an unused VLAN and disabling Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP). Enabling Port Security on all switch ports does not directly address the issue of rogue Layer 2 device interception. Configuring all VLANs to use the same native VLAN can still allow the attacker to intercept traffic. Implementing Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on trunk ports helps with preventing loops in the network, but does not specifically protect against rogue device interception.

Configuring an unused VLAN as the native VLAN helps prevent security vulnerabilities by separating management traffic from user traffic on the trunk port.

A Content Addressable Memory (CAM) overflow attack floods a switch with traffic causing it to forward packets to all ports. The other options do not result in the same behavior.

VLAN hopping attacks can be prevented by disabling Dynamic Trunking Protocol (DTP) negotiations, which can help prevent unauthorized VLAN access and manipulation.
