Q291. Bubba has just accessed he preferred ecommerce web site and has spotted an item that he would like to buy. Bubba considers the price a bit too steep. He looks at the source code of the webpage and decides to save the page locally, so that he can modify the page variables. In the context of web application security, what do you think Bubba has changes? 

A. A hidden form field value. 

B. A hidden price value. 

C. An integer variable. 

D. A page cannot be changed locally, as it is served by a web server. 

Answer: A


Q292. Consider the following code: 

If an attacker can trick a victim user to click a link like this and the web application does not validate input, then the victim’s browser will pop up an alert showing the users current set of cookies. An attacker can do much more damage, including stealing passwords, resetting your home page or redirecting the user to another web site. 

What is the countermeasure against XSS scripting? 

A. Create an IP access list and restrict connections based on port number 

B. Replace “<” and “>” characters with ?lt; and ?gt; using server scripts 

C. Disable Javascript in IE and Firefox browsers 

D. Connect to the server using HTTPS protocol instead of HTTP 

Answer: B

Explanation: The correct answer contains a string which is an HTML-quoted version of the original script. The quoted versions of these characters will appear as literals in a browser, rather than with their special meaning as HTML tags. This prevents any script from being injected into HTML output, but it also prevents any user-supplied input from being formatted with benign HTML. 

Topic 13, Web Based Password Cracking Techniques 


Q293. Data is sent over the network as clear text (unencrypted) when Basic Authentication is configured on Web Servers. 

A. True 

B. False 

Answer: A

Explanation: Using HTTP basic authentication will result in your password being sent over the internet as clear text. Don't use this technique unless you understand what the ramifications of this are. 


Q294. What is the advantage in encrypting the communication between the agent and the monitor in an Intrusion Detection System? 

A. Encryption of agent communications will conceal the presence of the agents 

B. The monitor will know if counterfeit messages are being generated because they will not be encrypted 

C. Alerts are sent to the monitor when a potential intrusion is detected 

D. An intruder could intercept and delete data or alerts and the intrusion can go undetected 

Answer: B


Q295. What port scanning method involves sending spoofed packets to a target system and then looking for adjustments to the IPID on a zombie system? 

A. Blind Port Scanning 

B. Idle Scanning 

C. Bounce Scanning 

D. Stealth Scanning 

E. UDP Scanning 

Answer: B

Explanation: from NMAP:-sI <zombie host[:probeport]> Idlescan: This advanced scan method allows fora truly blind TCP port scan of the target (meaning no packets are sent tothe tar- get from your real IP address). Instead, a unique side-channelattack exploits predictable "IP fragmentation ID" sequence generation onthe zombie host to glean information about the open ports on the target. 


Q296. What command would you type to OS fingerprint a server using the command line? 

A. Option A 

B. Option B 

C. Option C 

D. Option D 

Answer: C


Q297. Harold works for Jacobson Unlimited in the IT department as the security manager. Harold has created a security policy requiring all employees to use complex 14 character passwords. Unfortunately, the members of management do not want to have to use such long complicated passwords so they tell Harold's boss this new password policy should not apply to them. To comply with the management's wishes, the IT department creates another Windows domain and moves all the management users to that domain. This new domain has a password policy only requiring 8 characters. 

Harold is concerned about having to accommodate the managers, but cannot do anything about it. Harold is also concerned about using LanManager security on his network instead of NTLM or NTLMv2, but the many legacy applications on the network prevent using the more secure NTLM and NTLMv2. Harold pulls the SAM files from the DC's on the original domain and the new domain using Pwdump6. 

Harold uses the password cracking software John the Ripper to crack users' passwords to make sure they are strong enough. Harold expects that the users' passwords in the original domain will take much longer to crack than the management's passwords in the new domain. After running the software, Harold discovers that the 14 character passwords only took a short time longer to crack than the 8 character passwords. 

Why did the 14 character passwords not take much longer to crack than the 8 character passwords? 

A. Harold should have used Dumpsec instead of Pwdump6 

B. Harold's dictionary file was not large enough 

C. Harold should use LC4 instead of John the Ripper 

D. LanManger hashes are broken up into two 7 character fields 

Answer: D


Q298. Which type of Nmap scan is the most reliable, but also the most visible, and likely to be picked up by and IDS? 

A. SYN scan 

B. ACK scan 

C. RST scan 

D. Connect scan 

E. FIN scan 

Answer:

Explanation: The TCP full connect (-sT) scan is the most reliable. 


Q299. Bob has a good understanding of cryptography, having worked with it for many years. Cryptography is used to secure data from specific threat, but it does not secure the application from coding errors. It can provide data privacy, integrity and enable strong authentication but it cannot mitigate programming errors. 

What is a good example of a programming error that Bob can use to illustrate to the management that encryption will not address all of their security concerns? 

A. Bob can explain that a random generator can be used to derive cryptographic keys but it uses a weak seed value and it is a form of programming error. 

B. Bob can explain that by using passwords to derive cryptographic keys it is a form of a programming error. 

C. Bob can explain that a buffer overflow is an example of programming error and it is a common mistake associated with poor programming technique. 

D. Bob can explain that by using a weak key management technique it is a form of programming error. 

Answer: C

Explanation: A buffer overflow occurs when you write a set of values (usually a string of characters) into a fixed length buffer and write at least one value outside that buffer's boundaries (usually past its end). A buffer overflow can occur when reading input from the user into a buffer, but it can also occur during other kinds of processing in a program. Technically, a buffer overflow is a problem with the program's internal implementation. 


Q300. In which location, SAM hash passwords are stored in Windows 7? 

A. c:\windows\system32\config\SAM 

B. c:\winnt\system32\machine\SAM 

C. c:\windows\etc\drivers\SAM 

D. c:\windows\config\etc\SAM 

Answer: A
