Q51. Justine is the systems administrator for her company, an international shipping company with offices all over the world. Recent US regulations have forced the company to implement stronger and more secure means of communication. Justine and other administrators have been put in charge of securing the company's digital communication lines. After implementing email encryption, Justine now needs to implement robust digital signatures to ensure data authenticity and reliability. Justine has decided to implement digital signatures which are a variant of DSA and that operate on elliptical curve groups. These signatures are more efficient than DSA and are not vulnerable to a number field sieve attacks.
What type of signature has Justine decided to implement?
A. She has decided to implement ElGamal signatures since they offer more reliability than the typical DSA signatures
B. Justine has decided to use ECDSA signatures since they are more efficient than DSA signatures
C. Justine is now utilizing SHA-1 with RSA signatures to help ensure data reliability
D. These types of signatures that Justine has decided to use are called RSA-PSS signatures
Answer: B
Explanation: The Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) is a variant of the Digital Signature Algorithm (DSA) which uses Elliptic curve cryptography. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliptic_Curve_DSA
Q52. Harold is the senior security analyst for a small state agency in New York. He has no other security professionals that work under him, so he has to do all the security-related tasks for the agency. Coming from a computer hardware background, Harold does not have a lot of experience with security methodologies and technologies, but he was the only one who applied for the position.
Harold is currently trying to run a Sniffer on the agency’s network to get an idea of what kind of traffic is being passed around but the program he is using does not seem to be capturing anything. He pours through the sniffer’s manual but can’t find anything that directly relates to his problem. Harold decides to ask the network administrator if the has any thoughts on the problem. Harold is told that the sniffer was not working because the agency’s network is a switched network, which can’t be sniffed by some programs without some tweaking.
What technique could Harold use to sniff agency’s switched network?
A. ARP spoof the default gateway
B. Conduct MiTM against the switch
C. Launch smurf attack against the switch
D. Flood switch with ICMP packets
Answer: A
Explanation: ARP spoofing, also known as ARP poisoning, is a technique used to attack an Ethernet network which may allow an attacker to sniff data frames on a local area network (LAN) or stop the traffic altogether (known as a denial of service attack). The principle of ARP spoofing is to send fake, or 'spoofed', ARP messages to an Ethernet LAN. These frames contain false MAC addresses, confusing network devices, such as network switches. As a result frames intended for one machine can be mistakenly sent to another (allowing the packets to be sniffed) or an unreachable host (a denial of service attack).
Q53. nn would like to perform a reliable scan against a remote target. She is not concerned about being stealth at this point.
Which of the following type of scans would be the most accurate and reliable option?
A. A half-scan
B. A UDP scan
C. A TCP Connect scan
D. A FIN scan
Answer: C
Explanation: A TCP Connect scan, named after the Unix connect() system call is the most accurate scanning method. If a port is open the operating system completes the TCP three-way handshake, and the port scanner immediately closes the connection. Otherwise an error code is returned. Example of a three-way handshake followed by a reset: Source Destination Summary
[192.168.0.8] [192.168.0.10] TCP: D=80 S=49389 SYN SEQ=3362197786 LEN=0 WIN=5840
[192.168.0.10] [192.168.0.8] TCP: D=49389 S=80 SYN ACK=3362197787 SEQ=58695210 LEN=0 WIN=65535
[192.168.0.8]
[192.168.0.10] TCP: D=80 S=49389 ACK=58695211 WIN<<2=5840
[192.168.0.8]
[192.168.0.10] TCP: D=80 S=49389 RST ACK=58695211 WIN<<2=5840
Q54. What are two things that are possible when scanning UDP ports? (Choose two.
A. A reset will be returned
B. An ICMP message will be returned
C. The four-way handshake will not be completed
D. An RFC 1294 message will be returned
E. Nothing
Answer: BE
Explanation: Closed UDP ports can return an ICMP type 3 code 3 message. No response can mean the port is open or the packet was silently dropped.
Q55. A Buffer Overflow attack involves:
A. Using a trojan program to direct data traffic to the target host's memory stack
B. Flooding the target network buffers with data traffic to reduce the bandwidth available to legitimate users
C. Using a dictionary to crack password buffers by guessing user names and passwords
D. Poorly written software that allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code on a target system
Answer: D
Explanation: B is a denial of service. By flooding the data buffer in an application with trash you could get access to write in the code segment in the application and that way insert your own code.

D. A Honeypot
Answer: B
Q57. In the context of Trojans, what is the definition of a Wrapper?
A. An encryption tool to protect the Trojan.
B. A tool used to bind the Trojan with legitimate file.
C. A tool used to encapsulated packets within a new header and footer.
D. A tool used to calculate bandwidth and CPU cycles wasted by the Trojan.
Answer: B
Explanation: These wrappers allow an attacker to take any executable back-door program and combine it with any legitimate executable, creating a Trojan horse without writing a single line of new code.
Q58. What is the name of the software tool used to crack a single account on Netware Servers using a dictionary attack?
A. NPWCrack
B. NWPCrack
C. NovCrack
D. CrackNov
E. GetCrack
Answer: B
Explanation: NWPCrack is the software tool used to crack single accounts on Netware servers.
Q59. On wireless networks, a SSID is used to identify the network. Why are SSID not considered to be a good security mechanism to protect a wireless network?
A. The SSID is only 32 bits in length
B. The SSID is transmitted in clear text
C. The SSID is to identify a station not a network
D. The SSID is the same as the MAC address for all vendors
Answer: B
Explanation: The use of SSIDs is a fairly weak form of security, because most access points broadcast the SSID, in clear text, multiple times per second within the body of each beacon frame. A hacker can easily use an 802.11 analysis tool (e.g., AirMagnet, Netstumbler, or AiroPeek) to identify the SSID.
Q60. What are the three phases involved in security testing?
A. Reconnaissance, Conduct, Report
B. Reconnaissance, Scanning, Conclusion
C. Preparation, Conduct, Conclusion
D. Preparation, Conduct, Billing
Answer: C
Explanation: Preparation phase - A formal contract is executed containing non-disclosure of the client's data and legal protection for the tester. At a minimum, it also lists the IP addresses to be tested and time to test. Conduct phase - In this phase the penetration test is executed, with the tester looking for potential vulnerabilities. Conclusion phase - The results of the evaluation are communicated to the pre-defined organizational contact, and corrective action is advised.
