According to NIST, which choice below is not an accepted security selftesting
technique?

A.
Password Cracking

B.
Virus Detection

C.
War Dialing

D.
Virus Distribution

Explanation:
Common types of self-testing techniques include:
Network Mapping
Vulnerability Scanning
Penetration Testing
Password Cracking
Log Review
Virus Detection
War Dialing
Some testing techniques are predominantly human-initiated and
conducted, while other tests are highly automated and require less
human involvement. The staff that initiates and implements in-house
security testing should have significant security and networking
knowledge. These testing techniques are often combined to gain a
more comprehensive assessment of the overall network security posture.
For example, penetration testing almost always includes network
mapping and vulnerability scanning to identify vulnerable
hosts and services that may be targeted for later penetration. None of
these tests by themselves will provide a complete picture of the network

or its security posture. Source: NIST Special Publication 800-42,
