Q131. Exhibit 

Joe Hacker runs the hping2 hacking tool to predict the target host’s sequence numbers in one of the hacking session. 

What does the first and second column mean? Select two. 

A. The first column reports the sequence number 

B. The second column reports the difference between the current and last sequence number 

C. The second column reports the next sequence number 

D. The first column reports the difference between current and last sequence number 

Answer: AB


Q132. The GET method should never be used when sensitive data such as credit card is being sent to a CGI program. This is because any GET command will appear in the URL, and will be logged by any servers. For example, let's say that you've entered your credit card information into a form that uses the GET method. The URL may appear like this: 

https://www.xsecurity-bank.com/creditcard.asp?cardnumber=453453433532234 

The GET method appends the credit card number to the URL. This means that anyone with access to a server log will be able to obtain this information. How would you protect from this type of attack? 

A. Never include sensitive information in a script 

B. Use HTTPS SSLv3 to send the data instead of plain HTTPS 

C. Replace the GET with POST method when sending data 

D. Encrypt the data before you send using GET method 

Answer: C


Q133. There are two types of honeypots- high and low interaction. Which of these describes a low interaction honeypot? 

Select the best answers. 

A. Emulators of vulnerable programs 

B. More likely to be penetrated 

C. Easier to deploy and maintain 

D. Tend to be used for production 

E. More detectable 

F. Tend to be used for research 

Answer: ACDE

Explanations: 

A low interaction honeypot would have emulators of vulnerable programs, not the real programs. 

A high interaction honeypot is more likely to be penetrated as it is running the real program and is more vulnerable than an emulator. 

Low interaction honeypots are easier to deploy and maintain. Usually you would just use a program that is already available for download and install it. Hackers don't usually crash or destroy these types of programs and it would require little maintenance. 

A low interaction honeypot tends to be used for production. 

Low interaction honeypots are more detectable because you are using emulators of the real programs. Many hackers will see this and realize that they are in a honeypot. 

A low interaction honeypot tends to be used for production. A high interaction honeypot tends to be used for research.

A. 53 

B. 25 

C. 110 

D. 69 

Answer: A


Q135. The United Kingdom (UK) he passed a law that makes hacking into an unauthorized network a felony. 

The law states: 

Section1 of the Act refers to unauthorized access to computer material. This states that a person commits an offence if he causes a computer to perform any function with intent to secure unauthorized access to any program or data held in any computer. For a successful conviction under this part of the Act, the prosecution must prove that the access secured is unauthorized and that the suspect knew that this was the case. This section is designed to deal with common-or-graden hacking. 

Section 2 of the deals with unauthorized access with intent to commit or facilitate the commission of further offences. An offence is committed under Section 2 if a Section 1 offence has been committed and there is the intention of committing or facilitating a further offense (any offence which attacks a custodial sentence of more than five years, not necessarily one covered but the Act). Even if it is not possible to prove the intent to commit the further offence, the Section 1 offence is still committed. 

Section 3 Offences cover unauthorized modification of computer material, which generally means the creation and distribution of viruses. For conviction to succeed there must have been the intent to cause the modifications and knowledge that the modification had not been authorized 

What is the law called? 

A. Computer Misuse Act 1990 

B. Computer incident Act 2000 

C. Cyber Crime Law Act 2003 

D. Cyber Space Crime Act 1995 

Answer:

Explanation: Computer Misuse Act (1990) creates three criminal offences: 


Q136. Clive is conducting a pen-test and has just port scanned a system on the network. He has identified the operating system as Linux and been able to elicit responses from ports 23, 25 and 53. He infers port 23 as running Telnet service, port 25 as running SMTP service and port 53 as running DNS service. The client confirms these findings and attests to the current availability of the services. When he tries to telnet to port 23 or 25, he gets a blank screen in response. On typing other commands, he sees only blank spaces or underscores symbols on the screen. What are you most likely to infer from this? 

A. The services are protected by TCP wrappers 

B. There is a honeypot running on the scanned machine 

C. An attacker has replaced the services with trojaned ones 

D. This indicates that the telnet and SMTP server have crashed 

Answer: A

Explanation: TCP Wrapper is a host-based network ACL system, used to filter network access to Internet protocol services run on (Unix-like) operating systems such as Linux or BSD. It allows host or subnetwork IP addresses, names and/or ident query replies, to be used as tokens on which to filter for access control purposes. 


Q137. Hayden is the network security administrator for her company, a large finance firm based in Miami. Hayden just returned from a security conference in Las Vegas where they talked about all kinds of old and new security threats; many of which she did not know of. Hayden is worried about the current security state of her company's network so she decides to start scanning the network from an external IP address. To see how some of the hosts on her network react, she sends out SYN packets to an IP range. A number of IPs responds with a SYN/ACK response. Before the connection is established she sends RST packets to those hosts to stop the session. She does this to see how her intrusion detection system will log the traffic. What type of scan is Hayden attempting here? 

A. Hayden is attempting to find live hosts on her company's network by using an XMAS scan 

B. She is utilizing a SYN scan to find live hosts that are listening on her network 

C. The type of scan, she is using is called a NULL scan 

D. Hayden is using a half-open scan to find live hosts on her network 

Answer: D


Q138. The FIN flag is set and sent from host A to host B when host A has no more data to transmit (Closing a TCP connection). This flag releases the connection resources. However, host A can continue to receive data as long as the SYN sequence number of transmitted packets from host B are lower than the packet segment containing the set FIN flag. 

A. True 

B. False 

Answer: A

Explanation: For sequence number purposes, the SYN is considered to occur before the first actual data octet of the segment in which it occurs, while the FIN is considered to occur after the last actual data octet in a segment in which it occurs. So packets receiving out of order will still be accepted. 


Q139. A Trojan horse is a destructive program that masquerades as a benign application. The software initially appears to perform a desirable function for the user prior to installation and/or execution, but in addition to the expected function steals information or harms the system. 

The challenge for an attacker is to send a convincing file attachment to the victim, which gets easily executed on the victim machine without raising any suspicion. Today's end users are quite knowledgeable about malwares and viruses. Instead of sending games and fun executables, Hackers today are quite successful in spreading the Trojans using Rogue security software. 

What is Rogue security software? 

A. A flash file extension to Firefox that gets automatically installed when a victim visits rogue software disabling websites 

B. A Fake AV program that claims to rid a computer of malware, but instead installs spyware or other malware onto the computer. This kind of software is known as rogue security software. 

C. A Fake AV program that claims to rid a computer of malware, but instead installs spyware or other malware onto the computer. This kind of software is known as rogue security software. 

D. A Fake AV program that claims to rid a computer of malware, but instead installs spyware or other malware onto the computer. This kind of software is known as rogue security software. 

E. Rogue security software is based on social engineering technique in which the attackers lures victim to visit spear phishing websites 

F. This software disables firewalls and establishes reverse connecting tunnel between the victim's machine and that of the attacker 

Answer: BCD


Q140. Steven works as a security consultant and frequently performs penetration tests for Fortune 500 companies. Steven runs external and internal tests and then creates reports to show the companies where their weak areas are. Steven always signs a non-disclosure agreement before performing his tests. What would Steven be considered? 

A. Whitehat Hacker 

B. BlackHat Hacker 

C. Grayhat Hacker 

D. Bluehat Hacker 

Answer: A

Explanation: A white hat hacker, also rendered as ethical hacker, is, in the realm of information technology, a person who is ethically opposed to the abuse of computer systems. Realization that the Internet now represents human voices from around the world has made the defense of its integrity an important pastime for many. A white hat generally focuses on securing IT systems, whereas a black hat (the opposite) would like to break into them.
