GIAC GSEC Exam - Topic 2 Question 1 Discussion
Topic #: 2
Which of the following terms refers to manual assignment of IP addresses to computers and devices?
The Static IP addressing is the term used for manual assignment of IP addresses to computers and devices.
Answer option C is incorrect. Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is a Windows feature, which allows household users and small business
users to create a functional single subnet TCP/IP network without manually configuring the TCP/IP protocol or setting up a DHCP server.
Answer option D is incorrect. Dynamic IP addressing is used when IP addresses are assigned to computers and devices automatically by the
DHCP service or APIPA.
Answer option B is incorrect. Spoofing is a technique that makes a transmission appear to have come from an authentic source by forging the
IP address, email address, caller ID, etc. In IP spoofing, a hacker modifies packet headers by using someone else's IP address to hide his
identity. However, spoofing cannot be used while surfing the Internet, chatting on-line, etc. because forging the source IP address causes the
responses to be misdirected.
