Bite size quiz
Hello All,
I am currently due to take my security+ exam February 7th (finances willing!) and I find myself still confused between SSH and SSL.
So I made a bite size quiz to help me remember and I thought I would share.
The rules are simple -- no looking up the information until you are completely done.
The questions range from simple (where I made the most mistakes) to the complicated.
SSH:
1) What does SSH stand for?
2) SSH replaced a common command-line terminal utility; what did SSH replace?
3) Yes or No? Does SSH use asymetric cryptography for connections and authentication and then uses a symmetric algorithim for data encryption?
4) SSH has three secure utilities -- name them.
5) Good! Now briefly what do those utilities do?
The answers (scroll past fast if you don't want to see the answers):
1) Secure Shell
2) Telnet
3) Yes! RCA for the connection and authentication and DES, IDEA, or Blowfish (all symmetric) for data encryption.
4) slogin, ssh, and scp
5) slogin -- a secure login service. Ssh -- secure version of remote shell. Scp -- a secure version of remote copy.
Enjoy!
