  7. A honey pot deployed with the IP 172.16.1.108 was compromised by an attacker. Given below is an excerpt from a Snort binary capture of the attack. Decipher the activity carried out by the attacker by studying the log. Please note that you are required to infer only what is explicit in the excerpt.
    (Note: The student is being tested on concepts learnt during passive OS fingerprinting, basic TCP/IP connection concepts and the ability to read packet signatures from a sniff dump.)

    • engage in damage control
    • prove that the tools you used to conduct your examination are perfect
    • read your curriculum vitae to the jury
    • qualify you as an expert witness

  10. You are contracted to work as a computer forensics investigator for a regional bank that has four 30 TB storage area networks that store customer data.

    What method would be most efficient for you to acquire digital evidence from this network?

    • create a compressed copy of the file with DoubleSpace
    • create a sparse data copy of a folder or file
    • make a bit-stream disk-to-image file
    • make a bit-stream disk-to-disk file

  11. You are working for a large clothing manufacturer as a computer forensics investigator and are called in to investigate an unusual case of an employee possibly stealing clothing designs from the company and selling them under a different brand name for a different company. What you discover during the course of the investigation is that the clothing designs are actually original products of the employee and the company has no policy against an employee selling his own designs on his own time. The only thing that you can find that the employee is doing wrong is that his clothing design incorporates the same graphic symbol as that of the company with only the wording in the graphic being different. What area of the law is the employee violating?

    • trademark law
    • copyright law
    • printright law
    • brandmark law

    • one byte at the beginning of the file

  15. In the context of file deletion process, which of the following statement holds true?

    • When files are deleted, the data is overwritten and the cluster marked as available
    • The longer a disk is in use, the less likely it is that deleted files will be overwritten
    • While booting, the machine may create temporary files that can delete evidence
    • Secure delete programs work by completely overwriting the file in one go

  16. A suspect is accused of violating the acceptable use of computing resources, as he has visited adult websites and downloaded images.

    • Image the disk and try to recover deleted files
