A user recently installed an application that accesses a database from a local server.
When launching the application, it does not populate any information.
Which of the following command-line tools is the best to troubleshoot the issue?

  1. ipconfig
  2. nslookup
  3. netstat
  4. curl

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

netstat reveals active network connections and listening ports on the local machine. By using it, you can confirm that the application has successfully opened (or attempted) a connection to the database server's port, verify the remote server's address and port, and detect any failed or hanging TCP sessions that would prevent data retrieval.



A small office reported a phishing attack that resulted in a malware infection. A technician is investigating the incident and has verified the following:

All endpoints are updated and have the newest EDR signatures. Logs confirm that the malware was quarantined by EDR on one system.
The potentially infected machine was reimaged.

Which of the following actions should the technician take next?

  1. Install network security tools to prevent downloading infected files from the internet.
  2. Discuss the cause of the issue and educate the end user about security hygiene.
  3. Flash the firmware of the router to ensure the integrity of network traffic.
  4. Suggest alternate preventative controls that would include more advanced security software.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

With technical controls updated, EDR signatures current, and the infected system reimaged, the next step is to address the human factor. Educating the user on how to recognize phishing attempts and follow safe practices helps prevent recurrence and strengthens the organization's overall security posture.



Which of the following describes a vulnerability that has been exploited before a patch or remediation is available?

  1. Spoofing
  2. Brute-force
  3. DoS
  4. Zero-day

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A zero-day vulnerability refers to a security flaw that is actively exploited by attackers before the software vendor has released a patch or remediation - meaning defenders have "zero days" to prepare once the exploit becomes known.
