A network is secured and is only accessible via TLS and IPSec VPNs. Which of the following would need to be present to allow a user to access network resources on a laptop without logging in to the VPN application?
The best option for allowing a user to access network resources on a laptop without logging into the VPN application is a site-to-site VPN. A site-to-site VPN connects entire networks securely over the internet, creating a secure link between two locations. In this way, devices on the remote network can access resources on the central network without requiring individual VPN logins. This setup means that user devices, like laptops, on the remote network can access network resources without the need to log into a VPN client application, as the secure connection is already established at the network level.
I can’t believe how bad a lot of these questions are. Terrible
I think it's A. My research found this. "Site-to-site VPN (virtual private network) is a type of VPN that keeps data encrypted between two networks without needing credentials or client apps on devices using it." Site to site uses both IPsec and TLS. In fact, they can be used together.
C. In-band management In-band management refers to managing a network device using the same network infrastructure that carries regular data traffic. In the given scenario, the network is secured and accessible via TLS and IPSec VPNs. However, in-band management would allow a user to access network resources on their laptop without needing to log in to the VPN application. In-band management would typically involve using secure protocols and credentials to access and manage network devices remotely, even if the user is not connected to the VPN. A. Site-to-site VPN: This is used for connecting entire networks securely, not for individual laptop access. B. Secure Shell (SSH): SSH is a secure way to access and manage devices remotely, but it's not specific to accessing network resources without logging in to a VPN. D. Remote Desktop Connection: This is a way to access a computer remotely, but it doesn't address accessing network resources without using the VPN application.
This is from GPT, when it picked A. and I asked "why not in-band management?": In-band management refers to managing network devices through the same network that the devices use for regular traffic. While in-band management allows for remote access to network devices, it typically requires some form of secure connection, such as a VPN, to access the management interfaces. In the scenario described, where the network is secured and only accessible via TLS and IPSec VPNs, in-band management would not enable a user to access network resources on a laptop without logging into the VPN application. The user would still need to establish a secure connection, such as through a VPN, to access the network resources securely.
But, I'm honestly not sure: More from GPT: "You're correct that site-to-site VPNs are typically used to connect two or more local area networks (LANs) across a wide area network (WAN), such as the internet. They are commonly used to connect branch offices to a central corporate network, rather than for individual devices like laptops." and "none of the provided options perfectly fit the scenario. " hahaha tf
It’s amazing how many of these questions are bad.
The question states" without using a"site -to-site" connection ( which is VPN) so the next logical solution would be a "secure socket"
"logging in to the VPN application" would imply client-to-site VPN. Site-to-site does not require a login, you just have to be at one of the sites (ie branch office with site-to-site to main office).
it is site to site
The answer is C. In-band management. In-band management is a way to manage network devices without having to access them remotely. This is done by connecting to the device directly over the network. In the case of the question, the laptop is already connected to the network via the TLS and IPSec VPNs. Therefore, in-band management can be used to access the laptop's resources without having to log in to the VPN application. The other options are not necessary to allow a user to access network resources on a laptop without logging in to the VPN application. Option A: Site-to-site VPNs are used to connect two or more networks together. They are not used to manage network devices. Option B: Secure Shell (SSH) is a secure protocol that is used to connect to remote devices. However, it still requires the user to log in to the device. Option D: Remote desktop connection is a way to access a remote computer's desktop. However, it still requires the user to log in to the computer.
my answer is C. the question states: it is only accesible trough TLS transport layer securty or in the verry old days SSL, but for most people they encounter it in the combination with http as HTTPS. according to the question we cannot use the VPN option. A - site-to-site is a a variant of VPN so nope on this one. B - SSH, well it could be used for remote login of a network device but it's not for normal network recources, and you need still need that VPN (or the in-band) same goes with D you also would need vpn or the inband to be able to connect. so it only leaves C. because In-band management interfaces support ping, HTTP, HTTPS, and SNMP administrative access options.
its A, b and d are just wrong its not asking you to control a CP remotely, In-band management allows network administrators to connect to a device they want to manage, such as a router or switch, using protocols like Telnet/SSH or SNMP. The management traffic from that connection uses the same network infrastructure as user data so that leaves only one answer that can use VPN without loging in
Look, I will go for site-to-site. That way the whole LAN is connected. No need for vpn client. Very bad question, but this is how it is
D. I will have to go with this answer. Since this doesn't require a VPN connection to connect. SSH and In band management are similar. Site to site VPN I'm assuming needs VPN login. It also sounds like one of the other questions before where users wanted privacy.
Key words are "network only accessible through TLS/VPN but client to access resources shouldn't use VPN". 1)site-to-site need vpn 2)SSH needs to be directly connected to the network or use VPN 3)RDP connects to the remote computer but cant access other resources. 4) In-Band management means that laptop is already connected to this secured TLS/VPN network. so, to use the resources, it doesn't need VPN. I choose C
The Answer is 1000% A. The question CLEARLY states that the user should not have to log into the VPN, meaning there should be no agent. This would be achieved by IT administrators configuring a site to site VPN between 2 devices such as SonicWalls. This would allow all the devices on the remote site behind the SonicWall to have access to the main sites LAN. Without any agents or logins
RDP provides secure connection using SSL/TLS
If it is only accessible by VPN the answer must be site-to-site VPN. If an entire office used site-to-site, the laptop user could access resources via the vpn tunnel without needing to log into the vpn, it would be transparent to the end user. SSH and RDP wouldn't negate this rule or bypass it. In band management has nothing to do with this question. It refers to device management via TCP/IP.
Id say its RDP. The default security layer in RDP is set to Negotiate which supports both SSL (TLS 1.0) and the RDP Security Layer. SSH doesn't use Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols or Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
Hmm... Can't be site to site, that's for connecting two networks together right? Can't be SSH as it doesn't use TSL/SSL In band management does not seem relevant to the question here, maybe a red herring. Maybe you can RDP into a computer that is already connected to the network?
