    110 TCP

    • POP3

    • IMAP

    • HTTPS

    • NetBIOS

    Correct Answer
    A. POP3
    Explanation
    POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) is a commonly used protocol for receiving email messages from a remote server. It allows users to download their emails from a mail server onto their local devices. Unlike IMAP, which keeps the emails on the server and synchronizes changes across multiple devices, POP3 typically downloads and removes the messages from the server. Therefore, the correct answer is POP3 because it is a protocol specifically designed for email retrieval.

    • SSL

    • HTTPS

    • IPSEC

    • VPN

    Correct Answer
    A. HTTPS
    Explanation
    HTTPS stands for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure. It is a secure version of HTTP, the protocol used for transmitting data over the internet. HTTPS ensures that the data being transmitted between a web browser and a website is encrypted and secure, protecting it from unauthorized access or tampering. It is commonly used for secure online transactions, such as online banking or shopping, where sensitive information like credit card details or personal data is involved.

    23 TCP ?

    • Message send Protocol

    • Time protocol

    • Telnet

    • SSH

    • NetBIOS

    Correct Answer
    A. Telnet
    Explanation
    Telnet is a network protocol used to establish a remote connection with a host over the internet. It allows users to access and manage remote computers or devices. Telnet provides a command-line interface that enables users to execute commands on the remote system. Therefore, Telnet is the correct answer as it is a protocol used for remote communication.

    IMAP?

    • 143

    • 144

    • 145

    • 146

    • 147

    Correct Answer
    A. 143
    Explanation
    IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a protocol used by email clients to retrieve emails from a mail server. Port 143 is the default port used for IMAP. Therefore, the correct answer is 143.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Port 53?

    • DHCP

    • DNS

    • IPX

    • SMTP

    Correct Answer
    A. DNS
    Explanation
    Port 53 is commonly associated with the DNS (Domain Name System) protocol. DNS is responsible for translating domain names into IP addresses, allowing users to access websites using human-readable names instead of numerical IP addresses. Port 53 is used for DNS queries and responses, facilitating the communication between clients and DNS servers. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is used for automatically assigning IP addresses to devices on a network. IPX (Internetwork Packet Exchange) is a network layer protocol used in Novell NetWare networks. SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) is used for sending email messages.

    SSH?

    • 19

    • 22

    • 23

    • 25

    Correct Answer
    A. 22
    Explanation
    SSH (Secure Shell) is a network protocol that provides a secure way to access and manage remote devices over an unsecured network. It uses encryption to protect the communication between the client and the server, ensuring confidentiality and integrity of data. Port 22 is the default port used by SSH for establishing a secure connection. Therefore, the correct answer is 22.

    137, 138, 139 ?

    • NetBEUI

    • IPX/SPX

    • NetBIOS

    • BOOTP

    • SSL

    Correct Answer
    A. NetBIOS
    Explanation
    The given sequence of numbers, 137, 138, 139, suggests a pattern of incrementing by 1. Similarly, NetBIOS is the only option in the list that follows this pattern, as the other options are unrelated protocols or services. Therefore, NetBIOS is the most logical choice to complete the sequence.

    LDAP ?

    • 467

    • 201

    • 503

  • 11. 

    Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) ?

    • 111

    • 131

    • 141

    • 161

    Correct Answer
    A. 161
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 161 because it is the standard port number used by SNMP for communication. SNMP is a protocol used for managing and monitoring network devices. The SNMP agent listens on port 161 for incoming requests from SNMP managers. Therefore, 161 is the correct answer as it represents the port number used by SNMP.

  • 12. 

    TFTP?

    • 21 UDP

    • 43 TCP

    • 69 UDP

    • 52 TCP

    Correct Answer
    A. 69 UDP
    Explanation
    TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) is a simple file transfer protocol that operates on UDP (User Datagram Protocol) port 69. UDP is a connectionless and unreliable protocol, which makes it suitable for TFTP as it doesn't require the overhead of establishing a connection and provides faster transmission of data. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented and reliable protocol that ensures data integrity and order, but it is not used for TFTP. Therefore, the correct answer is 69 UDP.

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Kerberos authentication system ?

    • 118

    • 88

    • 608

    • 808

    Correct Answer
    A. 88
    Explanation
    Kerberos is a widely used authentication system in computer networks. It provides secure communication by using tickets to verify the identity of users and services. The number "88" does not seem to have any relevance to Kerberos or authentication systems in general. Therefore, it can be concluded that the number "88" is not a valid answer for the question.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    IPX

    • 212

    • 121

    • 213

    • 123

    Correct Answer
    A. 213
    Explanation
    The given sequence consists of three-digit numbers. Looking closely at the pattern, we can see that the first digit of each number follows a sequential order, starting from 2 and increasing by 1 each time. The second digit remains the same in each number. The third digit also follows a sequential order, starting from 1 and increasing by 2 each time. Therefore, the next number in the sequence would be 213, following the established pattern.
