SAMPLE QUESTIONS

Three tasters — the real track has hundreds, graded, with full rationale.

Q1. Which control type is a security-awareness training program best classified as?
A. Technical
B. Physical
C. Administrative (managerial)
D. Detective
reveal answer

C. Awareness training is a policy/people control implemented through process, not technology or a physical barrier — that makes it an administrative (managerial) control.

Q2. An attacker registers "linux-tutorlals.com" to catch mistyped traffic. This is:
A. Typosquatting
B. Watering-hole attack
C. SQL injection
D. Pass-the-hash
reveal answer

A. Registering look-alike misspelled domains to capture fat-finger traffic is typosquatting (a form of URL hijacking).

Q3. Which goal of the CIA triad does hashing a downloaded file to compare checksums primarily support?
A. Confidentiality
B. Integrity
C. Availability
D. Non-repudiation
reveal answer

B. A matching hash proves the file has not been altered in transit — that is integrity. Confidentiality would need encryption; availability is about uptime.
