Q361. A file integrity program such as Tripwire protects against Trojan horse attacks by:
A. Automatically deleting Trojan horse programs
B. Rejecting packets generated by Trojan horse programs
C. Using programming hooks to inform the kernel of Trojan horse behavior
D. Helping you catch unexpected changes to a system utility file that might indicate it had been replaced by a Trojan horse
Answer: D
Explanation: Tripwire generates a database of the most common files and directories on your system. Once it is generated, you can then check the current state of your system against the original database and get a report of all the files that have been modified, deleted or added. This comes in handy if you allow other people access to your machine and even if you don't, if someone else does get access, you'll know if they tried to modify files such as /bin/login etc.
Q362. Jackson discovers that the wireless AP transmits 128 bytes of plaintext, and the station responds by encrypting the plaintext.

A. no authentication
B. single key authentication
C. shared key authentication
D. open system authentication
Answer: C
Explantion: The following picture shows how the WEP authentication procedure:
Q363. _________ is a tool that can hide processes from the process list, can hide files, registry entries, and intercept keystrokes.
A. Trojan
B. RootKit
C. DoS tool
D. Scanner
E. Backdoor
Answer: B
Explanation: Rootkits are tools that can hide processes from the process list, can hide files, registry entries, and intercept keystrokes.
Q364. Which of the following buffer overflow exploits are related to Microsoft IIS web server? (Choose three)
A. Internet Printing Protocol (IPP) buffer overflow
B. Code Red Worm
C. Indexing services ISAPI extension buffer overflow
D. NeXT buffer overflow
Answer: ABC
Explanation: Both the buffer overflow in the Internet Printing Protocol and the ISAPI extension buffer overflow is explained in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS01-023. The Code Red worm was a computer worm released on the Internet on July 13, 2001. It attacked computers running Microsoft's IIS web server.
Q365. Samuel is the network administrator of DataX communications Inc. He is trying to configure his firewall to block password brute force attempts on his network. He enables blocking the intruder’s IP address for a period of 24 hours time after more than three unsuccessful attempts. He is confident that this rule will secure his network hackers on the Internet.
But he still receives hundreds of thousands brute-force attempts generated from various IP addresses around the world. After some investigation he realizes that the intruders are using a proxy somewhere else on the Internet which has been scripted to enable the random usage of various proxies on each request so as not to get caught by the firewall use.
Later he adds another rule to his firewall and enables small sleep on the password attempt so that if the password is incorrect, it would take 45 seconds to return to the user to begin another attempt. Since an intruder may use multiple machines to brute force the password, he also throttles the number of connections that will be prepared to accept from a particular IP address. This action will slow the intruder’s attempts.
Samuel wants to completely block hackers brute force attempts on his network.
What are the alternatives to defending against possible brute-force password attacks on his site?
A. Enforce a password policy and use account lockouts after three wrong logon attempts even through this might lock out legit users
B. Enable the IDS to monitor the intrusion attempts and alert you by e-mail about the IP address of the intruder so that you can block them at the firewall manually
C. Enforce complex password policy on your network so that passwords are more difficult to brute force
D. You can’t completely block the intruders attempt if they constantly switch proxies
Answer: D
Explanation: Without knowing from where the next attack will come there is no way of proactively block the attack. This is becoming a increasing problem with the growth of large bot nets using ordinary workstations and home computers in large numbers.
Q366. When discussing passwords, what is considered a brute force attack?
A. You attempt every single possibility until you exhaust all possible combinations or discover the password
B. You threaten to use the rubber hose on someone unless they reveal their password
C. You load a dictionary of words into your cracking program
D. You create hashes of a large number of words and compare it with the encrypted passwords
E. You wait until the password expires
Answer: A
Explanation: Brute force cracking is a time consuming process where you try every possible combination of letters, numbers, and characters until you discover a match.
Q367. fter studying the following log entries, what is the attacker ultimately trying to achieve as inferred from the log sequence?
1. mkdir -p /etc/X11/applnk/Internet/.etc
2. mkdir -p /etc/X11/applnk/Internet/.etcpasswd
3. touch -acmr /etc/passwd /etc/X11/applnk/Internet/.etcpasswd
4. touch -acmr /etc /etc/X11/applnk/Internet/.etc
5. passwd nobody -d
6. /usr/sbin/adduser dns -d/bin -u 0 -g 0 -s/bin/bash
7. passwd dns -d
8. touch -acmr /etc/X11/applnk/Internet/.etcpasswd /etc/passwd
9. touch -acmr /etc/X11/applnk/Internet/.etc /etc
A. Change password of user nobody
B. Extract information from a local directory
C. Change the files Modification Access Creation times
D. Download rootkits and passwords into a new directory
Answer: C
Q368. Most cases of insider abuse can be traced to individuals who are introverted, incapable of dealing with stress or conflict, and frustrated with their job, office politics, and lack of respect or promotion. Disgruntled employees may pass company secrets and intellectual property to competitors for monitory benefits.
Here are some of the symptoms of a disgruntled employee:
a. Frequently leaves work early, arrive late or call in sick
b. Spends time surfing the Internet or on the phone
c. Responds in a confrontational, angry, or overly aggressive way to simple requests or comments
d. Always negative; finds fault with everything
These disgruntled employees are the biggest threat to enterprise security. How do you deal with these threats? (Select 2 answers)
A. Limit access to the applications they can run on their desktop computers and enforce strict work hour rules
B. By implementing Virtualization technology from the desktop to the data centre, organizations can isolate different environments with varying levels of access and security to various employees
C. Organizations must ensure that their corporate data is centrally managed and delivered to users just and when needed
D. Limit Internet access, e-mail communications, access to social networking sites and job hunting portals
Answer: BC
Q369. More sophisticated IDSs look for common shellcode signatures. But even these systems can be bypassed, by using polymorphic shellcode. This is a technique common among virus writers - it basically hides the true nature of the shellcode in different disguises.
How does a polymorphic shellcode work?
A. They convert the shellcode into Unicode, using loader to convert back to machine code then executing them
B. They compress shellcode into normal instructions, uncompress the shellcode using loader code and then executing the shellcode
C. They reverse the working instructions into opposite order by masking the IDS signatures
D. They encrypt the shellcode by XORing values over the shellcode, using loader code to decrypt the shellcode, and then executing the decrypted shellcode
Answer: A
Explanation: In computer security, a shellcode is a small piece of code used as the payload in the exploitation of a software vulnerability. It is called "shellcode" because it typically starts a command shell from which the attacker can control the compromised machine. Shellcode is commonly written in machine code, but any piece of code that performs a similar task can be called shellcode
Q370. Which of the following activities will not be considered passive footprinting?
A. Go through the rubbish to find out any information that might have been discarded
B. Search on financial site such as Yahoo Financial to identify assets
C. Scan the range of IP address found in the target DNS database
D. Perform multiples queries using a search engine
Answer: C
Explanation: Scanning is not considered to be passive footprinting.
