Q201. Neil monitors his firewall rules and log files closely on a regular basis. Some of the users have complained to Neil that there are a few employees who are visiting offensive web sites during work hours, without consideration for others. Neil knows that he has an updated content filtering system and that such access should not be authorized. 

What type of technique might be used by these offenders to access the Internet without restriction? 

A. They are using UDP which is always authorized at the firewall. 

B. They are using tunneling software which allows them to communicate with protocols in a way it was not intended. 

C. They have been able to compromise the firewall, modify the rules, and give themselves proper access. 

D. They are using an older version of Internet Explorer that allows them to bypass the proxy server. 

Answer: B

Explanation: This can be accomplished by, for example, tunneling the http traffic over SSH if you have a SSH server answering to your connection, you enable dynamic forwarding in the ssh client and configure Internet Explorer to use a SOCKS Proxy for network traffic. 


Q202. ViruXine.W32 virus hides their presence by changing the underlying executable code. This Virus code mutates while keeping the original algorithm intact, the code changes itself each time it runs, but the function of the code (its semantics) will not change at all. 

Here is a section of the Virus code: 

What is this technique called? 

A. Polymorphic Virus 

B. Metamorphic Virus 

C. Dravidic Virus 

D. Stealth Virus 

Answer: A


Q203. What file system vulnerability does the following command take advantage of? 

type c:anyfile.exe > c:winntsystem32calc.exe:anyfile.exe 

A. HFS 

B. ADS 

C. NTFS 

D. Backdoor access 

Answer: B

Explanation: ADS (or Alternate Data Streams) is a “feature” in the NTFS file system that makes it possible to hide information in alternate data streams in existing files. The file can have multiple data streams and the data streams are accessed by filename:stream. 


Q204. Smurf is a simple attack based on IP spoofing and broadcasts. A single packet (such as an ICMP Echo Request) is sent as a directed broadcast to a subnet on the Internet. All the machines on that subnet respond to this broadcast. By spoofing the source IP Address of the packet, all the responses will get sent to the spoofed IP Address. Thus, a hacker can often flood a victim with hundreds of responses for every request the hacker sends out. 

Who are the primary victims of these attacks on the Internet today? 

A. IRC servers are the primary victim to smurf attacks 

B. IDS devices are the primary victim to smurf attacks 

C. Mail Servers are the primary victim to smurf attacks 

D. SPAM filters are the primary victim to surf attacks 

Answer: A

Explanation: IRC servers are the primary victim to smurf attacks. Script-kiddies run programs that scan the Internet looking for "amplifiers" (i.e. subnets that will respond). They compile lists of these amplifiers and exchange them with their friends. Thus, when a victim is flooded with responses, they will appear to come from all over the Internet. On IRCs, hackers will use bots (automated programs) that connect to IRC servers and collect IP addresses. The bots then send the forged packets to the amplifiers to inundate the victim. 


Q205. One of your junior administrator is concerned with Windows LM hashes and password cracking. In your discussion with them, which of the following are true statements that you would point out? 

Select the best answers. 

A. John the Ripper can be used to crack a variety of passwords, but one limitation is that the output doesn't show if the password is upper or lower case. 

B. BY using NTLMV1, you have implemented an effective countermeasure to password cracking. 

C. SYSKEY is an effective countermeasure. 

D. If a Windows LM password is 7 characters or less, the hash will be passed with the following characters, in HEX- 00112233445566778899. 

E. Enforcing Windows complex passwords is an effective countermeasure. 

Answer: ACE

Explanations: 

John the Ripper can be used to crack a variety of passwords, but one limitation is that the output doesn't show if the password is upper or lower case. John the Ripper is a very effective password cracker. It can crack passwords for many different types of operating systems. However, one limitation is that the output doesn't show if the password is upper or lower case. BY using NTLMV1, you have implemented an effective countermeasure to password cracking. NTLM Version 2 (NTLMV2) is a good countermeasure to LM password cracking (and therefore a correct answer). To do this, set Windows 9x and NT systems to "send NTLMv2 responses only". SYSKEY is an effective countermeasure. It uses 128 bit encryption on the local copy of the Windows SAM. If a Windows LM password is 7 characters or less, the has will be passed with the following characters: 0xAAD3B435B51404EE Enforcing Windows complex passwords is an effective countermeasure to password cracking. Complex passwords are- greater than 6 characters and have any 3 of the following 4 items: upper case, lower case, special characters, and numbers. 


Q206. You have initiated an active operating system fingerprinting attempt with nmap against a target system: 

[root@ceh NG]# /usr/local/bin/nmap -sT -O 10.0.0.1 

Starting nmap 3.28 ( www.insecure.org/nmap/) at 2003-06-18 19:14 IDT Interesting ports on 10.0.0.1: (The 1628 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed) Port State Service 21/tcp filtered ftp 22/tcp filtered ssh 25/tcp open smtp 80/tcp open http 135/tcp open loc-srv 139/tcp open netbios-ssn 389/tcp open LDAP 443/tcp open https 465/tcp open smtps 1029/tcp open ms-lsa 1433/tcp open ms-sql-s 2301/tcp open compaqdiag 5555/tcp open freeciv 

5800/tcp open vnc-http 

5900/tcp open vnc 

6000/tcp filtered X11 

Remote operating system guess: Windows XP, Windows 2000, NT4 or 95/98/98SE Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3.334 seconds 

Using its fingerprinting tests nmap is unable to distinguish between different groups of Microsoft based operating systems - Windows XP, Windows 2000, NT4 or 95/98/98SE. 

What operating system is the target host running based on the open ports shown above? 

A. Windows XP 

B. Windows 98 SE 

C. Windows NT4 Server 

D. Windows 2000 Server 

Answer:

Explanation: The system is reachable as an active directory domain controller (port 389, LDAP) 


Q207. What is the most common vehicle for social engineering attacks? 

A. Phone 

B. Email 

C. In person 

D. P2P Networks 

Answer: A

Explanation: Pretexting is the act of creating and using an invented scenario (the pretext) to persuade a target to release information or perform an action and is usually done over the telephone. 


Q208. LAN Manager passwords are concatenated to 14 bytes and split in half. The two halves are hashed individually. If the password is 7 characters or less, than the second half of the hash is always: 

A. 0xAAD3B435B51404EE 

B. 0xAAD3B435B51404AA 

C. 0xAAD3B435B51404BB 

D. 0xAAD3B435B51404CC 

Answer: A

Explanation: A problem with LM stems from the total lack of salting or cipher block chaining in the hashing process. To hash a password the first 7 bytes of it are transformed into an 8 byte odd parity DES key. This key is used to encrypt the 8 byte string "KGS!@". Same thing happens with the second part of the password. This lack of salting creates two interesting consequences. Obviously this means the password is always stored in the same way, and just begs for a typical lookup table attack. The other consequence is that it is easy to tell if a password is bigger than 7 bytes in size. If not, the last 7 bytes will all be null and will result in a constant DES hash of 0xAAD3B435B51404EE. 


Q209. Eve is spending her day scanning the library computers. She notices that Alice is using a computer whose port 445 is active and listening. Eve uses the ENUM tool to enumerate Alice machine. From the command prompt, she types the following command. 

For /f "tokens=1 %%a in (hackfile.txt) do net use * \10.1.2.3c$ /user:"Administrator" %%a 

What is Eve trying to do? 

A. Eve is trying to connect as an user with Administrator privileges 

B. Eve is trying to enumerate all users with Administrative privileges 

C. Eve is trying to carry out a password crack for user Administrator 

D. Eve is trying to escalate privilege of the null user to that of Administrator 

Answer: C
