You work as a Software Developer for Mansoft Inc. You create an application and use it to create users as members of the local Users group. Which of the following code snippets
imperatively demands that the current user is a member of the local Users group?

Correct Answer:AC

The PrincipalPermission class allows security checks against the active principal. This is done by using the language constructs that are defined for both imperative and declarative security actions. To perform an imperative security demand for membership in a built-in Microsoft Windows group, you must first set the default principal policy to the Windows principal by calling the SetPrincipalPolicy (PrincipalPolicy.WindowsPrincipal) statement. Construct a PrincipalPermission object specifying the group name. To specify the group name, you can provide just the group name, or you can preface the group name with either "BUILTIN\" or the computer name and a backslash. Finally, call the PrincipalPermission.Demand method. There is another method of identifying group membership, i.e. by using the PrincipalPermission class or the PrincipalPermissionAttribute attribute derived from the System.Security.Permissions namespace. The PrincipalPermission object identifies that the identity of the active principal should match its information with the identity information that is passed to its constructor. The identity information contains the user's identity name and role.

Web applications are accessed by communicating over TCP ports via an IP address. Choose the two most common Web Application TCP ports and their respective protocol names. (Choose two)

Correct Answer:CD
The two most common Web Application TCP ports are Port 443 and Port 80. HTTPS or SSL uses TCP port 443, whereas HTTP uses TCP Port 80. Answer B is incorrect. Port 80 is used for HTTP, not HTTPS. Answer A is incorrect. S-HTTP is not the protocol name for Port 443. HTTPS or SSL is the name used for Port 443 traffic.

John works as a Network Auditor for XYZ CORP. The company has a Windows-based network. John wants to conduct risk analysis for the company. Which of the following can be the purpose of this analysis? (Choose three)

Correct Answer:BCD

There are many purposes of conducting risk analysis, which are as follows: To try to quantify the possible impact or loss of a threat To analyze exposure to risk in order to support better decision-making and proper management of those risks To support risk-based audit decisions To assist the auditor in determining the audit objectives To assist the auditor in identifying the risks and threats Answer A is incorrect. The analysis of risk does not ensure absolute safety. The main purpose of using a risk-based audit strategy is to ensure that the audit adds value with meaningful information.

In a network, a data packet is received by a router for transmitting it to another network. In order to make decisions on where the data packet should be forwarded, the router checks with its routing table. Which of the following lists does a router check in a routing table?

Correct Answer:AD

A Routing table stores the actual routes to all destinations; the routing table is populated from the topology table with every destination network that has its successor and optionally feasible successor identified (if unequal-cost load-balancing is enabled using the variance command). The successors and feasible successors serve as the next hop routers for these destinations. Unlike most other distance vector protocols, EIGRP does not rely on periodic route dumps in order to maintain its topology table. Routing information is exchanged only upon the establishment of new neighbor adjacencies, after which only changes are sent. Answer C is incorrect. A routing table does not contain any list of protocols. Answer B is incorrect. A routing table does not contain any list of packets.
