Understanding Passwords

SSH provides protection against which of the following?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution.

Choose two
  • A DoS attack
  • B IP spoofing
  • C Password sniffing
  • D Broadcast storm
Explanation

SSH encrypts the connection, so passwords are not exposed to passive network sniffing. SSH also uses host-key authentication to verify the remote host rather than trusting only its IP address, which protects against IP-based spoofing. It does not inherently stop denial-of-service attacks or broadcast storms.
