A.    It is an attack used to gain unauthorized access to a database.
B.    It is an attack used to modify code in an application.
C.    It is a Man-in-the-Middle attack between your SQL Server and Web App Server.
D.    It is a Denial of Service Attack.

Answer: A
Explanation:
SQL injection is a code injection technique, used to attack data-driven applications, in which malicious SQL statements are inserted into an entry field for execution (e.g. to dump the database contents to the attacker).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection

NEW QUESTION 6
Which of the following is the BEST way to defend against network sniffing?

A.    Using encryption protocols to secure network communications
B.    Register all machines MAC Address in a Centralized Database
C.    Restrict Physical Access to Server Rooms hosting Critical Servers
D.    Use Static IP Address

Answer: A
Explanation:
A way to protect your network traffic from being sniffed is to use encryption such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS). Encryption doesn’t prevent packet sniffers from seeing source and destination information, but it does encrypt the data packet’s payload so that all the sniffer sees is encrypted gibberish.

NEW QUESTION 7
You have successfully gained access to a linux server and would like to ensure that the succeeding outgoing traffic from this server will not be caught by a Network Based Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS). What is the best way to evade the NIDS?

A.    Encryption
B.    Protocol Isolation
C.    Alternate Data Streams
D.    Out of band signalling

Answer: A
Explanation:
When the NIDS encounters encrypted traffic, the only analysis it can perform is packet level analysis, since the application layer contents are inaccessible. Given that exploits against today’s networks are primarily targeted against network services (application layer entities), packet level analysis ends up doing very little to protect our core business assets.

A.    An Intrusion Detection System
B.    A firewall IPTable
C.    A Router IPTable
D.    FTP Server rule

Answer: A
Explanation:
Snort is an open source network intrusion detection system (NIDS) for networks.

NEW QUESTION 9
What is the benefit of performing an unannounced Penetration Testing?

A.    The tester will have an actual security posture visibility of the target network.
B.    Network security would be in a “best state” posture.
C.    It is best to catch critical infrastructure unpatched.
D.    The tester could not provide an honest analysis.

Answer: A
Explanation:
Real life attacks will always come without expectation and they will often arrive in ways that are highly creative and very hard to plan for at all. This is, after all, exactly how hackers continue to succeed against network security systems, despite the billions invested in the data protection industry.
A possible solution to this danger is to conduct intermittent “unannounced” penentration tests whose scheduling and occurrence is only known to the hired attackers and upper management staff instead of every security employee, as would be the case with “announced” penetration tests that everyone has planned for in advance. The former may be better at detecting realistic weaknesses.

NEW QUESTION 10
You have successfully compromised a machine on the network and found a server that is alive on the same network. You tried to ping it but you didn’t get any response back. What is happening?

A.    ICMP could be disabled on the target server.
B.    The ARP is disabled on the target server.
C.    TCP/IP doesn’t support ICMP.
D.    You need to run the ping command with root privileges.

Answer: A
Explanation:
The ping utility is implemented using the ICMP “Echo request” and “Echo reply” messages.
Note: The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is one of the main protocols of the internet protocol suite. It is used by network devices, like routers, to send error messages indicating, for example, that a requested service is not available or that a host or router could not be reached.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Control_Message_Protocol

NEW QUESTION 11
Under the “Post-attack Phase and Activities”, it is the responsibility of the tester to restore the systems to a pre-test state. Which of the following activities should not be included in this phase? (see exhibit)
1. Removing all files uploaded on the system

2. Cleaning all registry entries

3. Mapping of network state

4. Removing all tools and maintaining backdoor for reporting

A.    3
B.    4
C.    3 and 4
D.    All should be included

Answer: A
Explanation:
The post-attack phase revolves around returning any modified system(s) to the pretest state. Examples of such activities:
– Removal of any files, tools, exploits, or other test-created objects uploaded to the system during testing
– Removal or reversal of any changes to the registry made during system testing
Computer and Information Security Handbook, John R. Vacca (2012), page 531

NEW QUESTION 12

Which of the following regulations best matches the description?

A.    HIPAA
B.    ISO/IEC 27002
C.    COBIT
D.    FISMA

Answer: A
Explanation:
The HIPAA Privacy Rule regulates the use and disclosure of Protected Health Information (PHI) held by “covered entities” (generally, health care clearinghouses, employer sponsored health plans, health insurers, and medical service providers that engage in certain transactions). By regulation, the Department of Health and Human Services extended the HIPAA privacy rule to independent contractors of covered entities who fit within the definition of “business associates”.

NEW QUESTION 21
A regional bank hires your company to perform a security assessment on their network after a recent data breach. The attacker was able to steal financial data from the bank by compromising only a single server. Based on this information, what should be one of your key recommendations to the bank?

A.    Place a front-end web server in a demilitarized zone that only handles external web traffic
B.    Require all employees to change their passwords immediately
C.    Move the financial data to another server on the same IP subnet
D.    Issue new certificates to the web servers from the root certificate authority

Answer: A
Explanation:
A DMZ or demilitarized zone (sometimes referred to as a perimeter network) is a physical or logical subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization’s external-facing services to a larger and untrusted network, usually the Internet. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an organization’s local area network (LAN); an external network node only has direct access to equipment in the DMZ, rather than any other part of the network.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMZ_(computing)

NEW QUESTION 22
Port scanning can be used as part of a technical assessment to determine network vulnerabilities. The TCP XMAS scan is used to identify listening ports on the targeted system. If a scanned port is open, what happens?

A.    The port will ignore the packets.
B.    The port will send an RST.
C.    The port will send an ACK.
D.    The port will send a SYN.

Answer: A
Explanation:
An attacker uses a TCP XMAS scan to determine if ports are closed on the target machine. This scan type is accomplished by sending TCP segments with the all flags sent in the packet header, generating packets that are illegal based on RFC 793. The RFC 793 expected behavior is that any TCP segment with an out- of-state Flag sent to an open port is discarded, whereas segments with out-of-state flags sent to closed ports should be handled with a RST in response. This behavior should allow an attacker to scan for closed ports by sending certain types of rule-breaking packets (out of sync or disallowed by the TCB) and detect closed ports via RST packets.
https://capec.mitre.org/data/definitions/303.html

NEW QUESTION 23
During a recent security assessment, you discover the organization has one Domain Name Server (DNS) in a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and a second DNS server on the internal network. What is this type of DNS configuration commonly called?

A.    Split DNS
B.    DNSSEC
C.    DynDNS
D.    DNS Scheme

Answer: A
Explanation:
In a split DNS infrastructure, you create two zones for the same domain, one to be used by the internal network, the other used by the external network. Split DNS directs internal hosts to an internal domain name server for name resolution and external hosts are directed to an external domain name server for name resolution.
