CYB 220 FINAL TEST 2026 QUESTIONS
WITH CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Honeynets.
Answer: A honeynet is a network containing honeypots. A virtual honeynet
is one that resides in a single server, but pretends to be a full network (PC
Magazine, 2018).
◍ Stealth Mode.
Answer: Taking place in secret. Stealth mode often refers to the policy of
startups, when companies are developing unique products, or the policy of
established companies when they are creating something new. Everyone is
sworn to secrecy, and a low profile is kept until launch time (PC Magazine,
2018).
◍ Log Aggregation.
Answer: Log management is the process of handling copious volumes of
logs that are made up of several processes, such as log collection, log
aggregation, storage, rotation, analysis, search, and reporting.Log
aggregation, therefore, is a step in the overall management process in which
you consolidate different log formats coming from different sources all into
one place. This makes it easier for you to analyze, search, and report on your
data. (Stringfellow, 2017).
◍ Establishing Profiles.
Answer: Creating patterns and signatures of attack vectors for the purpose of
identifying threats.
◍ Virtual Private Network (VPN).
Answer: A private network configured within a public network, such as the
internet or a carrier's network. Years ago, this obsoleted private lines
between company branches. VPNs also allow mobile users access to the
, company LAN by using data encryption to maintain privacy.In the past,
common carriers used their vast networks to "tunnel" traffic between
customer locations to give the appearance of a private network while sharing
backbone trunks, no different than the way the internet works. Prior to the
internet's IP protocol, VPNs were built over X.25, Switched 56, frame relay,
and ATM technologies (PC Magazine, 2018).
◍ Memory.
Answer: The computer's temporary workspace, which for decades has been
a collection of dynamic RAM (DRAM) chips. A major resource in the
computer, memory (RAM) determines the size and number of programs that
can be run at the same time, as well as the amount of data that can be
processed instantly (PC Magazine, 2018).
◍ Attack Vector.
Answer: The approach used to assault a computer system or network. As it
is a fancy way of saying "method or type of attack," the term may refer to a
variety of vulnerabilities. For example, an operating system or web browser
may have a flaw that is exploited by a website. Human shortcomings are
also used to engineer attack vectors. For example, a novice user may open
an email attachment that contains a virus, and most everyone can be
persuaded at least once in a lifetime to reveal a password for some
seemingly relevant reason (PC Magazine, 2018).
◍ SNMP Trap.
Answer: Using the network management protocol to trap data on the
network. This can be used to isolate bad traffic so it can be handled.
◍ Anomaly Detection.
Answer: An approach to intrusion detection that establishes a baseline
model of behavior for users and components in a computer system or
network. Deviations from the baseline cause alerts that direct the attention
of human operators to the anomalies (PC Magazine, 2018).
◍ Honeypot.
Answer: A server that is configured to detect an intruder by mirroring a real
