CompTIA A+ (Certification Exam 220-1102) | 50 Questions with Explanations | Core 2

[@calatrix7770]

Just came on here to say before I watched your videos I didn't make over a 660 on the Comptia A+ 1102. I started watching your videos and made a 725 today. I truly appreciate you and your videos and will be coming back for all my courses.

I have passed the core 2 examen Thank you for your supportive videos I found this core2 examen more complicated than core 1. People must be prepared well for the kind of questions Comptia elaborates for this exam. They ask questions like in real environments, my suggestion is learn the concept and meanings of terminology, that can help. No matter how many quizzes you have taken for practice, it’s always going to be different at the test.

[@40wattstudio41]

For Question 2 I would say A -- if you have a limited data plan then you certainly want to kill your network connection to keep your data from getting drained -- and then you can uninstall at your leisure afterwards. It's easier to turn wifi back on than to uninstall/reinstall software. And it's not on the list, but I would also check Task Manager (CTRL + SHIFT + ESC) to see if that program installed other programs that are running in the background and causing the high network utilization.

[@ryanbeach1]

also agree. I was looking for him to say "isolation"

[@krug7777]

Same. I've dealt with enough malware in the past to learn that sometimes attempting to delete the files can trigger even more adverse reactions from the malware. I'd make sure to completely disconnect from the network before attempting anything.

[@Cfraley0027]

This is absolutely the right answer, A. Even CompTIA objectives state this. First step after verifying malware is to quarantine the system.

[@lance_corporeal]

Exactly, it’s all in Comptia’s 7-step process. The correct answer is A

Just wanted to drop by and show appreciation for all your videos. I took the core 1 exam and passed a month ago and I just got home today from my core 2 exam with a pass as well. I used a exam prep program offered through a reputable college prior to finding your channel and even though I passed...I found that their level and style training was nowhere near the level of detail and explanations you provided. I actually feel like that's money I could have saved, lol. Either way, it's done and now I can move on and begin my learning for Net, Security and Cloud.

[@BushyKal]

Im sorry but if the Question 13 is on the test that is a really crappy thing. The real term is Vishing (Voice phishing, or vishing, is the use of telephony to conduct phishing attacks). Spoofing is where an email address is faked to look legit in order to gather information or credentials typically. Maybe im splitting hairs but I think that would need to be reworded for those pursuing Sec+ in the future.

[@BurningIceTech]

hey bud, Sadly there will be questions in the real exam which are annoying like this one. They generally give you 4 possible answers with most of their questions and sometimes you'll see none of them are truly 100% correct. You will then have to choose the MOST correct answer or the BEST answer. You will see in the exam that with a lot of their questions they will mentioned the words "best" or "most" in the question. You'll also see that it's often highly in caps and even in bold sometimes. That means there is more than one correct answer or that none are 100% truly correct but that you have to choose the closest thing to being correct. It's a very frustrating thing in these exams but A+ exams are famous for this

[@cookiedough967]

@@BurningIceTech how is it not social engineering since the question involves talking to another human???

Social engineering is a technique that uses psychological manipulation to trick people into taking a desired action, while spoofing is a category of attacks that involves pretending to be someone or something else:

Question 18 asks: which step should be done first? chose all that apply. How can you do more than one thing first? One will be first and another second, and so the second item will not be first and should not apply. Right?

[@code_marked]

pretty much means, choose all that apply that you " could " do first.

[@ryanbeach1]

⚠Question 13: If Visihing was a possible choice, that would be a better answer. Vishing is when cybercriminals use Voice over IP (VoIP) to make phone calls or leave voice messages pretending to be from a reputable company in order to trick victims. Again, because the cybercriminal is making a CALL, Vishing is better answer.

[@Mmrocker1]

YOU ROCK! Love these, they are very informative!

[@jaykayaye5260]

Good analogies for Question 26!

[@dreddnawtmettlehead2913]

Question 1: The answer is obviously B. Utilizing diskpart and format /p:6 are the ONLY federally accepted way to properly erase sensitive data, with the exception of physical destruction or Deguassing (electromagnetic sterilization). You can use pre-boot recovery tools CLI on primary drive, or in the active OS (cmd / powershell) if the hdd is installed as a secondary drive. Third party software cant always be trusted.

[@killermonkfish7004]

Although I agree with your reasoning, the phrasing of this question and it's answers are meant to confuse us. When it comes to data removal, we need to evaluate the security concern imposed and what level of precaution we should use in the data's removal. If we follow the way the DoD gets rid of data, we see that they use the standard for media removal outlined by the National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST). In the documentation "Guidelines for Media Sanitization" by the NIST, we can see that the steps to follow for media data removal for an organization is outlined in a given flow chart. Now getting back to Question 1, the keyword to look at is that it says the company wants to "re-use" their own HDD. This implies the data on the HDD will not be leaving their company, therefore, imposing little security concern to the org. Knowing this, we can follow the flow chart for removal which means we only need to "clear" the hard drive. The keyword "clear" basically means at least one written pass over on the data needs to happen. This can be done via "using organizationally approved and validated overwriting technologies/methods/tools". Now for the answers. Answers A and B are effectively doing the same things. Deleting files or quick formatting don't actually overwrite anything, only marking areas as open. Using the command line as you explain in your comment would work for this scenario. However, answer B isn't actually implying a full format in the way you explain. Question B is basically saying use the command line to "delete" data, not wipe it as a full format would. Deleting data via the command line would just consist of using the rm command on given files/directories. The only possible answer left would be C) Disk Wiping Software. The vague mention of disk wiping software doesn't imply that it would have to be some untrusted 3rd party software, it could just be some validated and trusted software used by the orgs. Hopefully this clears up some misunderstandings. I didn't plan on writing all this but I encountered something very similar on Prof. Dion's practice exams and had to do a bit of digging to understand the correct answer for one of the practice problems. Figured I'd write this up to clear up anyone else's confusion as well. If your curious to know more or I just explained it poorly you can get the information directly from the source "Guidelines for Media Sanitization".

3:32 you don’t need special software to do that you can in windows go to command prompt type diskpart select the disk and type clean all and it’ll overwrite the whole disk with zeros you can do it once twice three times your choice I think the Linux environment is the dd (data destroyer) command

[@friscocardinalsbaseball463]

hello! love your channel and all the info. Concerning question 27 about upgrading from a 32-bit version of Windows 7 to Windows 10 (64-bit): your answer is D (a clean install with the 64-bit version). Is that always the case? If the client had a 32-bit version of Windows couldn't you assume that they have a 32-bit operating system? My first instinct would have been to answer C. Do we know what processor they are running when we take the test? Thanks again!!!

[@shann2197]

Question 22 maybe since the question asks what would you do FIRST, you would first turn off PSU power switch and then you would disconnect the PC from power socket?? it says would you should do first, not what is the only thing you should do...

[@Stefano1901]

Thank you SO MUCH!

[@christopherreid7386]

For question 11, wouldn't the best solution be going to Task Manager? Especially to be user friendly?

[@obbldudeTV]

1:08:52 (Q. 22) Not doubting your answer I thought you would have hit the switch first then unplug it but maybe that would just be redundant.

[@DMahalko]

Q15, you mention rainbow tables. That's used when a hacker has compromised a server and obtained the encrypted passwords (the hashes) of all accounts. Encryption is not normally reversible to find the original password. The rainbow table is a brute-force pre-computed list of every possible password character combination and the encrypted hash associated with it. The hacker can then can work backwards from the encrypted hash to find the original password. The known username and password can then be used to access other systems that use the same credentials. Building rainbow tables involves terabytes of storage and multiple CPUs generating the hashes as fast as possible. Salting can defeat it, as each randomly chosen salt value requires its entire own separate rainbow table.

[@fok714]

I have a question on Q8. Why the answer is "Offsite backup" instead of "Full Backup"?

Wow! Great Course Thanks a lot!

[@MSH202]

I was curious as to how close the format of this video compares to the format of the test?

[@joshuawhitman8254]

Why would the first thing you do in Question 2 not be unplug the network cables/disable WiFi? Wouldn't you want to stop the potential data breach as quick as possible?

[@Shebrew144]

My guess is why that’s not right is because it says unplug network cable. In the question it just said device. It could be a laptop, phone, tablet, or desktop. So from there the next best choice would be uninstall it. I could be wrong but I think that’s why.

[@lloydwoodward9053]

@@Shebrew144the second part of the answer is turning off wifi on the device.

[@lloydwoodward9053]

I agree- it is the same as the ransomware question. Both are about malware compromising data. Data being transmitted out is probably more damaging than locked data, especially if you have off-site backups.

[@L1LKILLER911]

I agree. You isolate the device from the network first

[@Holyshiszle]

So you never got a real answer for this? I would have personally gone with disable network first as well XD.

[@nizarlahmar1431]

Question 13. Isn't spoofing a term just for computer-related faking? Such as IP spoofing or ARP spoofing. While impersonation is for physical faking like a UPS uniform? In which case, why didn't we choose Social Engineering, D?

[@Phantaric]

i swear I heard question 5 before and the answer for it was C not D on another site. This sort of "BEST CHOICE" inconsistency is what makes this shit so hard. To be clear, I agree with your answer not theirs which is why I remember it because I got it wrong.

[@sortitus]

Would MAC or Content filtering work as a possible solution to 45 if you identify and blacklist devices or websites your neighbors are using? I understand why reducing broadcast power is the best option, but I am curious if these approaches have downsides I'm not thinking of (needs repeated updating to eliminate new devices or sites if the neighbors' behavior or devices change).

[@jfisher164]

I feel so confident watching these test preps because I seem to know all of the answers but a handful of them. However, the prep course I am in has practice tests and I get destroyed in those. Do they make these “for profit” test preps purposely harder so they can guarantee pass rates or am I just not there yet?

[@BurningIceTech]

Yes and No. In most cases the practice tests are made with profit in mind and I don't like that which is why I give everything away for free. I can't say for sure though if they make them hard on-purpose to get people to spend more money. I suppose some might but we probably can't through them all in the same box since some of them by honest and innocent.

[@jfisher164]

Yea that makes sense. What I mean is some of the for profit places guarantee a 98% pass rate or whatever so in my mind, the only way to guarantee that is to make the tests really hard so that they can be sure you know your stuff before they pay for your test. And thanks man!! A+ first then Sec+ and Net+, all before the new year if I can haha

Does MDM only work on BYOD devices?

[@BurningIceTech]

Nope. MDM's like Microsoft Intune work on both BYOD as well as company devices. It does however generally work better with company devices because you would more often have "enrolled" the devices since they belong to the company. BYOD devices are often not enrolled since they belong to the user. In those cases you don't have "as much" control over the devices. You can use things like "App protection policies" and such on those types of devices

do you have pbq for core 2?

[@hellothisis4u]

Couldn't question number 23 answer be also B as well? If something like short message service (SMS) is considered to be under the Multifactor authentication category isn't it similar? You would obviously login with a username/email + password and then they would send you a PIN/SMS as a way to authenticate yourself? Because pin could be also meant in other ways...

[@mydnyghtamethyst]

I think it's referring to a PIN you know, such as the one for your bank card, not a verification code that is send via SMS or email. Here they are essentially saying a PIN IS a password and they are basically the same thing. It's A because you physically HAVE your card on you and you KNOW the PIN. Two factors.

[@hellothisis4u]

@mydnyghtamethyst dang I forgot about this... now that I am a+ certified, I understand where I went wrong, lol regardless thanks for your help
