Shoulder surfing is a social engineering attack where attackers observe someone’s private information by looking over their shoulder or using tools like cameras to capture input.

From Andrew Ramdayal’s guide:

“Shoulder surfing is the act of watching someone enter confidential information, such as PINs or passwords, often using direct line-of-sight or surveillance equipment.”

EIGRP (Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) has a default administrative distance (AD) value of 90 for internal routes. The administrative distance is used to rate the trustworthiness of routing information received from different routing protocols. EIGRP, developed by Cisco, has an AD of 90, which is lower than that of RIP (120) and OSPF (110), making it more preferred if multiple protocols provide a route to the same destination.References: CompTIA Network+ study materials.

802.1X is a port-based Network Access Control (NAC) method that enforces authentication before allowing access to the network. It uses a RADIUS server for identity verification and policy enforcement, ensuring only authorized users/devices gain access.

A. Standard ACL filters traffic by IP, not identity.

B. MAC filtering controls devices by hardware address but can be spoofed.

D. SSO (Single Sign-On) provides user convenience across services, not network-level access control.

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) caches website content across multiple geographically distributed servers to reduce latency and improve load times for users worldwide.

Breakdown of Options:

A. VPN – Encrypts network connections, does not distribute website content.

B. CDN – ✅ Correct answer. A network of caching servers that delivers web content faster.

C. SAN – Storage Area Network, not related to web content distribution.

D. SDN – Software-defined networking, which controls network flows but does not stage website content.
