1 What are three goals of a port scan attack? (Choose three.)

disable used ports and services
determine potential vulnerabilities
identify active services
identify peripheral configurations
identify operating systems
discover system passwords
Which characteristic best describes the network security Compliance domain as specified by the
2 ISO/IEC?
the integration of security into applications
an inventory and classification scheme for information assets
the restriction of access rights to networks, systems, applications, functions, and data
the process of ensuring conformance with security information policies, standards, and
regulations
3 Which two statements describe access attacks? (Choose two.)

Port redirection attacks use a network adapter card in promiscuous mode to capture all
network packets that are sent across a LAN.
Password attacks can be implemented using brute-force attack methods, Trojan Horses, or
packet sniffers.
Buffer overflow attacks write data beyond the allocated buffer memory to overwrite valid
data or exploit systems to execute malicious code.
Port scanning attacks scan a range of TCP or UDP port numbers on a host to detect listening
services.
Trust exploitation attacks can use a laptop acting as a rogue access point to capture and copy
all network traffic in a public location on a wireless hotspot.
Which two statements are characteristics of a virus? (Choose two.)

4 A virus typically requires end-user activation.
A virus has an enabling vulnerability, a propagation mechanism, and a payload.
A virus replicates itself by independently exploiting vulnerabilities in networks.
A virus provides the attacker with sensitive data, such as passwords.
A virus can be dormant and then activate at a specific time or date.
5 What is a characteristic of a Trojan Horse?

A Trojan Horse can be carried in a virus or worm.
A proxy Trojan Horse opens port 21 on the target system.
An FTP Trojan Horse stops anti-virus programs or firewalls from functioning.
A Trojan Horse can be hard to detect because it closes when the application that launched it
closes.
What occurs during a spoofing attack?
6 One device falsifies data to gain access to privileged information.
Large amounts of network traffic are sent to a target device to make resources unavailable to
intended users.
Improperly formatted packets are forwarded to a target device to cause the target system to
crash.
A program writes data beyond the allocated memory to enable the execution of malicious code.
7 Which statement describes phone freaking?

A hacker uses password-cracking programs to gain access to a computer via a dialup account.
A hacker gains unauthorized access to networks via wireless access points.
A hacker mimics a tone using a whistle to make free long-distance calls on an analog telephone
network.
A hacker uses a program that automatically scans telephone numbers within a local area,
dialing each one in search of computers, bulletin board systems, and fax machines.
What is a ping sweep?

8 A ping sweep is a network scanning technique that indicates the live hosts in a range of IP
addresses.
A ping sweep is a software application that enables the capture of all network packets sent
across a LAN.
A ping sweep is a scanning technique that examines a range of TCP or UDP port numbers
on a host to detect listening services.
A ping sweep is a query and response protocol that identifies information about a domain,
including the addresses assigned to that domain.
9 Which type of software typically uses a network adapter card in promiscuous mode to capture
all network packets that are sent across a LAN?
port scanner
ping sweeper
packet sniffer
Internet information query
1 A disgruntled employee is using Wireshark to discover administrative Telnet usernames and

0 passwords. What type of network attack does this describe?
Denial of Service
port redirection
Reconnaissance
trust exploitation
An attacker is using a laptop as a rogue access point to capture all network traffic from a targeted user.
Which type of attack is this?
trust exploitation
buffer overflow
man in the middle
port redirection
1 Which phase of worm mitigation requires compartmentalization and segmentation of the network
2 to slow down or stop the worm and prevent currently infected hosts from targeting and infecting
other systems?
containment phase
inoculation phase
quarantine phase
treatment phase
13 What are the three major components of a worm attack? (Choose three.)
enabling vulnerability
infecting vulnerability
Payload
penetration mechanism
probing mechanism
propagation mechanism
1 What are three types of access attacks? (Choose three.)

4 buffer overflow
ping sweep
port redirection
trust exploitation
port scan
Internet information query
15 Which technology is an example of a host-based intrusion prevention system?

MARS
NAC
CSA
VPN
1 What occurs during the persist phase of a worm attack?

6 identification of vulnerable targets
modification of system files and registry settings to ensure that the attack code is running
transfer of exploit code through an attack vector
extension of the attack to vulnerable neighboring targets
17 Which two are characteristics of DoS attacks? (Choose two.)

They always precede access attacks.
They attempt to compromise the availability of a network, host, or application.
They are difficult to conduct and are initiated only by very skilled attackers.
They are commonly launched with a tool called L0phtCrack.
Examples include smurf attacks and ping of death attacks.
Which phase of worm mitigation involves terminating the worm process, removing modified files
18 or system settings that the worm introduced, and patching the vulnerability that the worm used to
exploit the system?
containment
inoculation
quarantine
treatment
19 Which type of security threat can be described as software that attaches to another program to
execute a specific unwanted function?
virus
worm
proxy Trojan horse
Denial of Service Trojan horse
How is a Smurf attack conducted?

20 by sending a large number of packets, overflowing the allocated buffer memory of the target devic
by sending an echo request in an IP packet larger than the maximum packet size of 65,535 bytes
by sending a large number of ICMP requests to directed broadcast addresses from a spoofed
source address on the same network
by sending a large number of TCP SYN packets to a target device from a spoofed source address
