Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) — Question 78

Kimberly is studying to be an IT security analyst at a vocational school in her town. The school offers many different programming as well as networking languages. What networking protocol language should she learn that routers utilize?

Answer options

• A. ATM
• B. UDP
• C. BPG
• D. OSPF

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is OSPF, which stands for Open Shortest Path First, a widely used routing protocol in IP networks. ATM, UDP, and BGP are important but serve different purposes; ATM is a data link layer protocol, UDP is a transport layer protocol, and BGP is used for interdomain routing rather than router-level communication.
