GIAC GISF Exam - Topic 1 Question 75 Discussion

Your network utilizes a coax cable for connections between various network segments. Yourpredecessor made sure none of the coax cables were in an exposed area that could easily beaccessed. This caused the use of significant extra cabling. Why do you think this was done?
D) He was concerned about vampire taps.
A) He was concerned about electromagnetic emanation being used to gather data.
B) He was concerned about wireless interception of data.
C) This was an error you should correct. It wastes the cable and may make maintenance moredifficult.

Electromagnetic emanation is a real concern, for sure.

It seems like a lot of extra cabling could be a mistake, but I guess if it prevents unauthorized access, it might be worth it?

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like option B about wireless interception might not apply here since it’s coax, not wireless.

I think I saw a practice question about vampire taps before. They can be a real threat if the cables are accessible.

I remember reading about electromagnetic emanation and how it can be a security risk, so maybe that’s why he was cautious?

Ah, I see what they're getting at. The extra cabling was probably to make it harder for someone to physically access the network and intercept the data. I'm leaning towards option B for wireless interception.

This seems like it's testing our knowledge of network security best practices. I'm pretty confident the answer is A - the extra cabling was to prevent electromagnetic emanation. That's a common concern with coax cables.

I'm a bit confused by this question. Was the extra cabling really just a mistake, or was there a specific reason for it? I'm not sure if option C is the right answer here.

Okay, let me think this through. If the cables were hidden to prevent easy access, it could be to avoid things like vampire taps. That would make sense. I'll go with option D for this one.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm thinking it's probably related to security concerns, like preventing electromagnetic emanation or wireless interception. But I'm not totally sure.

C is the answer. Wasting cable and making maintenance harder is just inefficient. Your predecessor was clearly a vampire, not a network admin.

I'm going with B. Wireless interception is a major risk, and hiding the cables is a good way to prevent that.

Definitely D. Vampire taps are a real security concern with coax networks. Your predecessor was smart to take precautions.
