What else can I help you with?
What is a major characteristic of a Worm?
exploits vulnerabilities with theintent of propagating itself across a network
Network Tasking Orders NTOs are?
Used to combat critical network vulnerabilities
What is the difference between operating system security and network security?
operating system security concerns about vulnerabilities on specific operating system network system security concerns about vulnerabilities of the entire network regrdless how diverse or complex the network is.
What are the vulnerabilities in the network?
Every network is different; the only way to find out the vulnerabilities in a given network is to initiate an audit of the network. One piece of that is risk assessment, and from that you develop a vulnerability matrix.
A network administrator determines that falsified routing information is propagating through the network What action can be used to address this threat?
Configure routing protocol authentication.
Do not require user intervention to be launched they are self-propagating?
Self-propagating systems or malware can initiate and spread without user intervention, often exploiting vulnerabilities in software or networks. Once activated, they replicate themselves across devices or systems, enabling widespread distribution and potential harm. This autonomous behavior allows them to infect multiple targets rapidly, making them particularly dangerous in cybersecurity contexts. Examples include computer viruses and worms that can spread through email attachments or network connections.
Is Network security is more often compromised from the inside than external sources?
True
A blank is a thorough examination of each aspect of the network to determine how it might be compromised?
security audit
Which kind of server is often the launching point into a targets network and has known vulnerabilities?
The kind of server often used as a launching point into a target's network is the web server. Web servers frequently host applications that may have known vulnerabilities, such as outdated software, misconfigurations, or exposed sensitive data. Attackers exploit these vulnerabilities to gain initial access to the network, allowing them to escalate privileges and move laterally within the system. Regular patching and security assessments are crucial to mitigate these risks.
What if your computer is compromised You should disconnect from the network, perform a system backup, reboot the system, and contact the ACERT?
False. Trackable information will be lost if you reboot.
How is botnet created?
A botnet is a collection of compromised computers connected to the Internet (each compromised computer is known as a 'bot'). When a computer is compromised by an attacker, there is often code within the malware that commands it to become part of a botnet. The "botmaster" or "bot herder" controls these compromised computers via standards based network protocols such as IRC and http.
What are current network threats?
While dealing with computers in a network, threats will always emerge. The current network threats include advanced DDos attacks, botnet attacks, insecure applications, vulnerabilities in embedded systems and sophisticated viruses.
