,Question 1 of 126
A client sends a SYN packet to a server, the server responds with SYN-ACK, but the client never
sends the final ACK, leaving the server waiting with allocated resources. This behavior is
characteristic of which network attack?
A. Smurf attack
B. SYN flood
C. Ping of death
D. ARP spoofing


The correct answer is:
Correct Action: SYN flood

Rationales
• SYN flood (Correct):
This is the correct action. A SYN flood exploits the TCP three-way handshake by sending many SYN requests without
completing the handshake, exhausting server resources. Smurf uses ICMP amplification, Ping of death sends oversized
packets, and ARP spoofing manipulates MAC-IP mappings.
• Smurf attack (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Smurf uses ICMP amplification, Ping of death sends oversized packets, and ARP spoofing
manipulates MAC-IP mappings.
• Ping of death (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Smurf uses ICMP amplification, Ping of death sends oversized packets, and ARP spoofing
manipulates MAC-IP mappings.
• ARP spoofing (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. Smurf uses ICMP amplification, Ping of death sends oversized packets, and ARP spoofing
manipulates MAC-IP mappings.

,Question 2 of 126
In relational database normalization, which normal form eliminates transitive dependencies on
candidate keys?
A. First normal form (1NF)
B. Second normal form (2NF)
C. Third normal form (3NF)
D. Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF)


The correct answer is:
Correct Action: Third normal form (3NF)

Rationales
• Third normal form (3NF) (Correct):
This is the correct action. Third normal form (3NF) removes transitive dependencies, where a non-key attribute depends on
another non-key attribute. 2NF removes partial dependencies, and BCNF is a stricter version of 3NF.
• First normal form (1NF) (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. 2NF removes partial dependencies, and BCNF is a stricter version of 3NF.
• Second normal form (2NF) (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. 2NF removes partial dependencies, and BCNF is a stricter version of 3NF.
• Boyce-Codd normal form (BCNF) (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. 2NF removes partial dependencies, and BCNF is a stricter version of 3NF.

, Question 3 of 126
Which symmetric encryption algorithm operates on 128-bit blocks and supports key sizes of 128,
192, and 256 bits?
A. DES
B. 3DES
C. AES
D. Blowfish


The correct answer is:
Correct Action: AES

Rationales
• AES (Correct):
This is the correct action. AES (Rijndael) uses 128-bit blocks and variable key lengths (128, 192, 256 bits). DES uses
64-bit blocks, 3DES is triple-DES, and Blowfish uses 64-bit blocks.
• DES (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. DES uses 64-bit blocks, 3DES is triple-DES, and Blowfish uses 64-bit blocks.
• 3DES (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. DES uses 64-bit blocks, 3DES is triple-DES, and Blowfish uses 64-bit blocks.
• Blowfish (Incorrect):
This option is not appropriate. DES uses 64-bit blocks, 3DES is triple-DES, and Blowfish uses 64-bit blocks.
