Password Attacks
Risk Management
Factors of Authentication
Computer Networking
IP Addressing
100

Type of attack that uses every special character, lower case, upper case, number, symbol, etc to crack a password.

Brute Force Attack

100

Knowing a risk exists but choosing to do nothing about it.

Risk Acceptance

100

Password, PIN, Passcode

Something You Know

100

Physical Device that provides a secure connection between end devices. The virtual circuits provide a 1 :1 secure connection which also improves network efficiency. It also uses the devices MAC address as an identifier.

Switch

100

What class is 192.168.10.12

Class C

200

Type of attack that uses the most commonly used words or phrases to crack a password.

Dictionary Attack

200

Choosing to disengaged in the action that causes you the risk ultimately losing the benefits you receive from performing that same action as well.  

Risk Avoidance

200

Badge Card, RFID Card, Physical Key

Something You Have

200

This device sometimes wireless provides IP addresses to the devices connecting to it. It is the gateway between your home or office network and the internet.

Router

200

What class is 10.0.0.1

Class A

300

This is the combination of two or more password attack techniques.

Hybrid Attack

300

To threaten or warn adversary if they retaliate harm will come their way.

Risk Deterrence

300

Fingerprint or Retinal Scan, Face or Voice Recognition

Something You Are

300

This hardware or software component is your networks first line of defense when comes to defending against unwanted web traffic.

Firewall

300

What class is 172.110.45.3

Class B

400

This type of attack relies on the fact that 2 different inputs can create the same output as a hashed algorithm due to the nature of its fixed bit response. 

Birthday Attack

400

Sharing the risk burden with a third party as a form of insurance.

Risk Transference


400

Using two or more Authentication methods to strengthen you security posture.

Multifactor Authentication or 2FA

400

This device converts analog signals from your ISP to digital signals needed to provide WiFi for you home network.

Modem

400

What type address is 00-1A-B5-37-FF-0C

MAC Address

500

A precomputed list that contains the password hash value for each plain text character. Because these are the most commonly used hashes this can significantly reduce the time to crack hashed passwords.

Rainbow Table

500

Taking steps to reduce risks by making it more manageable through steps to lessen the impact.

Risk Mitigation

500

The use of special characteristics that are unique to your inherent/physical features. Not the factor of authentication, but what is the specific name for these biological features

Biometrics

500

This physical device is unsecure by nature, broadcasts its signal to every device connected to it. Using MAC addresses to identify each end device it still had efficiency problems due to collisions caused by repeating request. 

Hub
