AP Cybersecurity FRQ Practice: Device Security Analysis | Design Studio

Device Security Analysis: the design studio workstation

This is the whole of Section II of the AP Cybersecurity exam: one question, six sources, fifty minutes.

The device is a design workstation at a six person studio that runs its own client proofing site. The password attack in this one arrives in two stages, and the firewall question turns on the order of the rules rather than on finding the rule that says deny.

Write your responses on paper or in your own editor first. Each subpart then reveals a sample response and the specific points that earn credit, so you can mark yourself honestly.

This one is self-scored. Nothing you write is collected, sent or stored, and no score reaches a gradebook.

All of them, with what each part asks and how the sources work: the AP Cybersecurity FRQ practice hub. Multiple choice, free response and the terminal labs together: AP Cybersecurity practice.
