Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Protocol" is the term that describes a set of rules and standards that govern how data is transmitted between devices on a network.

Answer: A
 "ICMP" stands for Internet Control Message Protocol, which is used by network devices to send error messages and operational information about network conditions.

Answer: D
 "Port" refers to a numbered interface on a device, which is used by network protocols to direct traffic to the appropriate application or service.

Answer: E
 "UDP" stands for User Datagram Protocol, which is a connectionless protocol that allows for faster transmission of data, but does not guarantee delivery or order of packets.

Answer: F
 "Connection-oriented protocol" refers to protocols like TCP that require a logical connection to be established between the sender and receiver before data can be transmitted.

Answer: H
 "Connectionless protocol" refers to protocols like UDP that do not require a logical connection to be established before sending data.

Answer: J
 "Three-way handshake" is the process used by TCP to establish a connection between devices, consisting of three steps: SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK.

Answer: B
 "Network session hijacking" is a form of cyber attack in which an attacker intercepts and hijacks an active session between two devices on a network.

Answer: C
 "TCP flag" refers to the data within the TCP header that provide control information about the messages being sent, such as whether a packet is a SYN or ACK packet.

Answer: G
 "ISN" stands for initial sequence number, which is a randomly generated value used by TCP to establish a unique connection between two devices.
