Flashcards do conjunto (76)
- 1What is Broken Access Control?Coding failures in an application that lead to information leakage, modification or destruction.
- 2What is Injection?Sending invalid user supplied data to a web application with the intention to make it do something that the application wasn’t intended to do.
- 3What is Owasp "Cryptographic Failure"?Failure to take into account the types of data being managed and putting cryptographic considerations in place for protection.
- 4What is Owasp "Insecure Design"?A relative lack of thoughtfulness or robust process surrounding the implementation of security in an environment, a lack of understanding related to what security is needed for a particular environment
- 5What is Owasp "Security Misconfiguration"?Lack of hardening of new hardware or systems when introduced to the environment
- 6What is Owasp "Vulnerable or Outdated components"?Open source or third party components with issues or from untrusted sources.
- 7What is Owasp "Identification and authentication failures"?Application that allows brute forcing, doesnt govern the strength of passwords, “forgotten password” processes are ineffective.
- 8What is "Software and Data Integrity Failures"?Situations where applications rely on libraries or modules from untrusted sources, or failure to have process that validate the integrity of items like third party libraries.

- 32What is encryption?Securely encoding data so that only authorized users with a key can decrypt and get access to original contents. (AES 256)
- 33What is GitLab?A repository hosting service.
- 34If you access GitLab via the CLI what prefix do you need to use?"git"
- 35What does CVCS stand for? (repository)Centralized version control server
- 36What is a CVCS?A version control server is a system that records changes to files so you can recall previous iterations when needed.
- 37One positive and one negative of a CVCS.Administrators can dictate who can access what and when.
Single point of failure - 38What is GitHub?A repository hosting service that provides an interface, access control and task mgmt for devs.
- 39What language is most closely associated with Git?"C" - used for reduced runtime and overhead found in other high level languages
- 40What is a bare repo?Repository that contains information and version control and no working files.
- 41Name 3 basic Git commandsgit init - used to create a new local repo
git status - list the files that you have changed or need to add to commit
git clone - create a working copy of a local repository
git commit - commits any files that you have added with the add command and commits any files you have changed since then
git commit - - amend - fit a broken commit - 42What is Artifactory?Repository service that supports artifacts.

Identity Provider -
Service Provider - 72What are the part of the SDLC lifecycle?Project initiation > requirements definition > design specs > development/implementation > documentation > testing > transition to production
