Question
Which of the following servers provides encrypted tunnel SOCKS services?
Options
- ASNMP
- BVPN
- CCA
- DSSH
Explanation
An SSH (Secure Shell) server can provide encrypted tunnel SOCKS services through its dynamic port forwarding feature, allowing secure proxy connections over an encrypted channel.
Common mistakes.
- A. SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used for collecting and organizing information about managed devices on IP networks and for modifying that information, not for providing SOCKS proxy services.
- B. A VPN (Virtual Private Network) provides secure, encrypted network connections, but it typically offers network-level access rather than directly providing a SOCKS proxy service, although SOCKS traffic can traverse a VPN.
- C. A CA (Certificate Authority) is responsible for issuing and managing digital certificates used for authentication and encryption, but it does not provide proxy or tunneling services itself.
