Bite size quiz

JJArms

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!
