CompTIA 220-1102 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 771:

  Which of the following ensures proprietary information on a lost or stolen mobile device cannot be accessed while the device is offline?

  A. Remote wipe
  B. Mandatory screen locks
  C. Location applications
  D. Device data encryption
  D. Device data encryption

  ---

  Explanation

  Device data encryption (Option D) ensures that even if the device is lost or stolen, its data cannot be accessed without proper credentials, even while offline. Encryption protects the data at rest, making it unreadable without the decryption

  key. Remote wipe (Option A) requires the device to be online to receive the wipe command. Mandatory screen locks (Option B) provide a layer of security but can be bypassed with physical access in some cases.

  Location applications (Option C) help track the device but don't protect data.

• Question 772:

  An organization's Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is concerned about losing access to very sensitive, legacy unmaintained PII on a workstation if a ransomware outbreak occurs. The CFO has a regulatory requirement to retain this data for many years.

  Which of the following backup methods would BEST meet the requirements?

  A. A daily, incremental backup that is saved to the corporate file server
  B. An additional, secondary hard drive in a mirrored RAID configuration
  C. A full backup of the data that is stored of site in cold storage
  D. Weekly, differential backups that are stored in a cloud-hosting provider
  C. A full backup of the data that is stored of site in cold storage

  ---

  Explanation

  According to CompTIA A+ Core 2 objectives, a full backup stored off-site provides the greatest protection against data loss in the event of a ransomware attack or other data disaster. By storing the backup in a separate physical location, it is less likely to be affected by the same event that could cause data loss on the original system. Cold storage is a term used for data archiving, which typically refers to a long-term storage solution that is used for retaining data that is infrequently accessed, but still needs to be kept for regulatory or compliance reasons.

• Question 773:

  A technician is setting up a SOHO wireless router. The router is about ten years old. The customer would like the most secure wireless network possible. Which of the following should the technician configure?

  A. WPA2 with TKIP
  B. WPA2 with AES
  C. WPA3withAES-256
  D. WPA3 with AES-128
  B. WPA2 with AES

  ---

  Explanation

  This is because WPA2 with AES is the most secure wireless network configuration that is available on a ten-year-old SOHO wireless router.

• Question 774:

  A technician discovers user input has been captured by a malicious actor. Which of the following malware types is MOST likely being used?

  A. Cryptominers
  B. Rootkit
  C. Spear phishing
  D. Keylogger
  D. Keylogger

  ---

  Explanation

  A keylogger is a type of malware that captures user input, such as keystrokes, mouse clicks, and clipboard data, and sends it to a malicious actor. Keyloggers can be used to steal passwords, credit card numbers, personal information, and other sensitive data.

• Question 775:

  A new spam gateway was recently deployed at a small business. However, users still occasionally receive spam. The management team is concerned that users will open the messages and potentially infect the network systems. Which of the following is the most effective method for dealing with this issue?

  A. Adjusting the spam gateway
  B. Updating firmware for the spam appliance
  C. Adjusting AV settings
  D. Providing user training

• Question 776:

  A technician needs to disable guest log-ins on domain-joined desktop machines. Which of the following should the technician use?

  A. Group Policy
  B. Firewall
  C. Microsoft Management Control
  D. MSConfig
  A. Group Policy

  ---

  Explanation

  Disabling guest accounts on domain-joined machines is done through Group Policy. Group Policy allows centralized management and configuration of operating systems, applications, and users' settings in an Active Directory environment.

  By using the Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc), administrators can enforce policies such as disabling the guest account across all machines within the domain. The other options (Firewall, Microsoft Management Console, MSConfig) do not

  provide functionality specific to managing user accounts in this context.

  Core 2, Domain 1.5 - Group Policy.

• Question 777:

  A user is unable to browse a website on a PC. Which of the following commands should a technician use to verify the PC's DNS resolution for the website?

  A. nslookup
  B. hostname
  C. tracert
  D. netstat
  A. nslookup

  ---

  Explanation

  The nslookup command is a network administration tool used for querying the Domain Name System (DNS) to obtain domain name or IP address mapping or for any other specific DNS record. It's the most direct way to verify if a PC can

  resolve a website's domain name to its IP address.

  Here's why the other options are not the primary tools for this task:

  Option B: hostname: This command displays the hostname of the computer.

  Option C: tracert: This command traces the route packets take to reach a specific destination. It can help identify network connectivity issues but doesn't directly test DNS resolution.

  Option D: netstat: This command displays active network connections and listening ports.

  It's not used for DNS troubleshooting.

  How to use nslookup:

  Open a command prompt.

  Type nslookup (e.g., nslookup google.com) and press Enter. The output will show the DNS server used and the IP address(es) associated with the website.

• Question 778:

  A large organization is researching proprietary software with vendor support for a multiuser environment. Which of the following EULA types should be selected?

  A. Corporate
  B. Perpetual
  C. Open-source
  D. Personal
  A. Corporate

  ---

  Explanation

  A corporate EULA is a type of end-user license agreement that is designed for a large organization that needs to use proprietary software with vendor support for a multiuser environment. A corporate EULA typically grants the organization a volume license that allows it to install and use the software on multiple devices or servers, and to distribute the software to its employees or affiliates. A corporate EULA also usually provides the organization with technical support, maintenance, updates, and warranty from the software vendor, as well as some customization options and discounts. A corporate EULA may also include terms and conditions that specify the rights and obligations of both parties, such as confidentiality, liability, indemnification, termination, and dispute resolution12. A corporate EULA is a better option than the other choices because: A perpetual EULA (B) is a type of end-user license agreement that grants the user a permanent and irrevocable license to use the software, without any time limit or expiration date. However, a perpetual EULA does not necessarily include vendor support, updates, or warranty, and it may not allow the user to install the software on multiple devices or servers, or to distribute the software to other users. A perpetual EULA may also be more expensive than a corporate EULA, as it requires a one-time payment upfront, rather than a recurring subscription fee34. An open-source EULA ?is a type of end-user license agreement that grants the user a license to use, modify, and redistribute the software, which is publicly available and free of charge. However, an open-source EULA does not provide any vendor support, maintenance, updates, or warranty, and it may impose some restrictions or obligations on the user, such as disclosing the source code, attributing the original author, or using a compatible license for derivative works. An open-source EULA may not be suitable for a large organization that needs proprietary software with vendor support for a multiuser environment56. A personal EULA (D) is a type of end-user license agreement that grants the user a license to use the software for personal, non-commercial purposes only. A personal EULA may limit the number of devices or servers that the user can install the software on, and prohibit the user from distributing, copying, or reselling the software to other users. A personal EULA may also provide limited or no vendor support, maintenance, updates, or warranty, and it may have a fixed or renewable term. A personal EULA may not meet the needs of a large organization that needs proprietary software with vendor support for a multiuser environment7 .

  A. Educate the user on the solution that was performed.

  ---

  Explanation

  educating the user on the solution that was performed is a good next step after resolving an issue. This can help prevent similar issues from happening again and empower users to solve problems on their own.
