    • Pressing Shift+F10gives the user administrative rights
    • Pressing Shift+F1gives the user administrative rights
    • Pressing Ctrl+F10 gives the user administrative rights

  2. Terri works for a security consulting firm that is currently performing a penetration test on First National Bank in Tokyo. Terri’s duties include bypassing firewalls and switches to gain access to the network. Terri sends an IP packet to one of the company’s switches with ACK bit and the source address of her machine set. What is Terri trying to accomplish by sending this IP packet?

    • Trick the switch into thinking it already has a session with Terri’s computer
    • Poison the switch’s MAC address table by flooding it with ACK bits
    • Crash the switch with a DoS attack since switches cannot send ACK bits
    • Enable tunneling feature on the switch

    • To attack a network from a hacker’s perspective
    • It is easier to hack from the inside

    • SYN flood
  10. Kyle is performing the final testing of an application he developed for the accounting department.
    His last round of testing is to ensure that the program is as secure as possible. Kyle runs the following command. What is he testing at this point?

    #include #include int main(int argc, char
    *argv[]) { char buffer[10]; if (argc < 2) { fprintf (stderr, “USAGE: %s string\n”, argv[0]); return 1; }
    strcpy(buffer, argv[1]); return 0; }

    • Buffer overflow
    • SQL injection
    • Format string bug
    • Kernal injection
  11. You are running known exploits against your network to test for possible vulnerabilities. To test the strength of your virus software, you load a test network to mimic your production network. Your software successfully blocks some simple macro and encrypted viruses. You decide to really test the software by using virus code where the code rewrites itself entirely and the signatures change from child to child, but the functionality stays the same. What type of virus is this that you are testing?

    • Polymorphic
    • Metamorphic
    • Oligomorhic
    • Transmorphic
  12. What is a good security method to prevent unauthorized users from “tailgating”?

    • Man trap
    • Electronic combination locks
    • Pick-resistant locks
    • Electronic key systems
  13. You are the security analyst working for a private company out of France. Your current assignment is to obtain credit card information from a Swiss bank owned by that company. After initial reconnaissance, you discover that the bank security defenses are very strong and would take too long to penetrate. You decide to get the information by monitoring the traffic between the bank and one of its subsidiaries in London. After monitoring some of the traffic, you see a lot of FTP packets traveling back and forth. You want to sniff the traffic and extract usernames and passwords. What tool could you use to get this information?

    • Airsnort
    • Snort
    • Ettercap
    • RaidSniff
  14. As a security analyst, you setup a false survey website that will require users to create a username and a strong password. You send the link to all the employees of the company. What information will you be able to gather?

    • The IP address of the employees’ computers
    • Bank account numbers and the corresponding routing numbers
    • The employees network usernames and passwords

  15. Julia is a senior security analyst for Berber Consulting group. She is currently working on a contract for a small accounting firm in Florid a. They have given her permission to perform social engineering attacks on the company to see if their in-house training did any good. Julia calls the main number for the accounting firm and talks to the receptionist. Julia says that she is an IT technician from the company’s main office in Iowa. She states that she needs the receptionist’s network username and password to troubleshoot a problem they are having. Julia says that Bill Hammond, the CEO of the company, requested this information.

    • Packet filtering firewall
    • Application-level proxy firewall
    • Data link layer firewall
  17. What will the following command accomplish?

    • Test ability of a router to handle over-sized packets
    • Test the ability of a router to handle under-sized packets
    • Test the ability of a WLAN to handle fragmented packets
    • Test the ability of a router to handle fragmented packets

    • 32
    • 48
    • 64
  20. After passively scanning the network of Department of Defense (DoD), you switch over to active scanning to identify live hosts on their network. DoD is a large organization and should respond to any number of scans. You start an ICMP ping sweep by sending an IP packet to the broadcast address. Only five hosts respond to your ICMP pings; definitely not the number of hosts you were expecting. Why did this ping sweep only produce a few responses?

    • Only IBM AS/400 will reply to this scan
    • Only Windows systems will reply to this scan
    • A switched network will not respond to packets sent to the broadcast address
    • Only Unix and Unix-like systems will reply to this scan
