A forensic engineer determines that the root cause of a compromise is a SQL injection attack.
Which of the following should the engineer review to identify the command used by the threat actor?

  1. Metadata
  2. Application log
  3. System log
  4. Netflow log

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Application logs capture the SQL statements executed (including user inputs and errors). Reviewing the application log will reveal the exact injection payload and commands the attacker used, whereas system or network logs do not record SQL query details.



In which of the following will unencrypted PLC management traffic most likely be found?

  1. SDN
  2. IoT
  3. VPN
  4. SCADA

Explanation:

SCADA systems orchestrate and manage PLCs in industrial environments, and their native management protocols (e.g., Modbus, DNP3) are often sent unencrypted.

  1. UTM
  2. VPN
  3. NAC

Which of the following types of analysis should the manager select?

  1. Static
  2. Threat
  3. Packet

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Static analysis inspects source code at rest, prior to execution, to identify security vulnerabilities, coding errors, and insecure patterns before the software is deployed.
