CWNP CWDP-305 Exam Prep
Certified Wireless Design Professional (Page 5 )

• B — Increase provisioned concurrency for Lambda

• D — Refactor the Lambda functions

• E — Use Amazon RDS Proxy

• ARP poisoning: Redirects or intercepts local network traffic; it would more likely affect communication paths or cause man-in-the-middle behavior.
• Jamming: Interferes with wireless signals. The scenario does not indicate a wireless outage.
• Kerberoasting: Attempts to obtain service-account password hashes from Kerberos; it is a credential attack, not typically a direct service outage.

• Product Owner: May attend, but is not required unless also working as a Developer.
• Scrum Master: May attend to help facilitate or coach, but is not required.
• Developers: Must participate because the event is specifically for them.

• Exploitability
• Attack complexity
• Required privileges
• User interaction
• Impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability

• CVE: Identifies and tracks a specific vulnerability; it does not primarily measure severity.
• OSINT: Open-source intelligence gathered from publicly available sources.
• SOAR: Security orchestration, automation, and response technology used to automate security workflows.

• Server provisioning
• Operating systems and runtime infrastructure
• Scaling
• Much of the maintenance and patching

• Thin clients reduce endpoint hardware requirements but do not specifically streamline code deployment.
• Private cloud provides dedicated cloud infrastructure but usually requires more management and expense.
• Virtual machines improve resource utilization, but administrators still manage the VMs, operating systems, and deployments.

• 2000::/3 — Global unicast, used for publicly routable IPv6 addresses.
• FC00::/7 — Unique local, used for private internal addressing.
• FE80::/10 — Link-local, used only on the local network segment and not routed between subnets.

• A. Extranet
• B. VLAN
• C. Intranet
• D. VPN

cmd 
powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File C:\Scripts\Configure-VM.ps1

• GPO logon script: Runs only when a user logs on, so configuration may be delayed and is user-dependent.
• GPO startup script: Can work, but requires the VMs to be domain-joined and introduces GPO dependency. It is not specifically tied to Windows deployment.
• Place scripts in a VHD: Merely makes the files available; it does not execute them.

• Customer contains one row per customer and the customer’s Address ID.
• Address contains one row per address and the corresponding location details.

1. Select the Customer query.
2. Choose Merge Queries.
3. Match Customer[Address ID] with Address[Address ID].
4. Use a Left outer join so every customer is retained.
5. Expand the merged Address column and select City, State/Region, and Country.

• Append adds rows vertically and is used for tables with the same structure.
• Group By summarizes rows rather than adding related columns.
• Transpose switches rows and columns and does not establish a relationship.

• Increase/decrease the number of epochs: Changes how long training runs, but does not reuse a pre-trained model.
• Unsupervised learning: Trains from unlabeled data and does not specifically address adapting an existing model.

• Customize Opportunity Contact Role

• Add the Opportunity Contact Role related list to the Opportunity page layout

• Campaign Member Role relates contacts or leads to campaigns, not opportunities.
• Campaign Member related list would expose campaign participation, not the stakeholders for the opportunity.
• Customize Campaign Role also concerns campaigns.

• Open or insecure ports
• Enabled legacy or insecure protocols
• Known vulnerabilities and misconfigurations
• Weak services and outdated software

• curl tests web requests and HTTP-based services.
• Wireshark captures and analyzes network traffic; it does not normally scan servers for weaknesses.
• netcat can test connectivity to individual ports and sometimes grab service banners, but it is not a comprehensive vulnerability scanner.

• Elicited and documented customer requirements
• Converted them into clear, measurable specifications
• Validated the requirements with the customer
• Used them as the basis for design, quality checks, and acceptance

• A: Requirements should reflect the customer’s needs—not the supplier’s standards.
• B: Iteration review planning does not replace proper requirements collection.
• D: A retrospective occurs after work is completed and is mainly for process improvement, not initial requirements definition.

• A: My Domain is required for many SSO configurations, but if SSO works, it is unlikely to be the cause of losing the target record.
• B: HTTP-POST is a valid SAML binding and does not inherently prevent redirection.
• D: An incorrect Federation ID generally causes authentication or user-matching failure—not successful login to the home page.

• A. IDS attack signatures: An IDS primarily detects suspicious network activity and usually alerts rather than directly scanning and blocking uploaded files.
• C. Load balancer: Distributes traffic among servers but does not inspect files for malware.
• D. WAF: Protects web applications from attacks such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and some malicious requests. It is not primarily a PDF-malware scanning solution.

• 6-phone boxes: 6x
• 8-phone boxes: 8x

heartrateheartrateheartrate

• Spark column objects can be multiplied, for example:

python 
  df["heartrate"] * 3

• A DataFrame itself cannot be multiplied, but the expression is referring to a column.
• It is also not primarily a Python syntax error; the code was parsed, then Spark failed while resolving the column name.

• A — Reports: Reports are informational and don’t enforce access during an SSO transaction.
• B — Apex trigger and Permission Sets: A trigger could update permissions when a Case changes, but this creates synchronization and timing issues. It also changes Salesforce permissions rather than making a direct, real-time decision for the external system.
• C — Custom SAML JIT Provisioning: JIT provisioning is primarily for creating or updating users at login. It isn’t the appropriate mechanism for dynamically querying business records and deciding whether access should be granted.
• D — Connected App Handler: Designed for custom, programmatic control during connected-app authentication and authorization. Apex can check the user’s current open classified cases and permit or reject the SSO request.

• 800 devices ? a scalable, centralized solution is needed.
• Four hardware/vendor classes ? the tool must handle different drivers and images.
• Two user groups ? it should allow different configurations for each group.
• “Distribute custom images” ? an imaging/deployment tool is required, not just a file-copy utility.

• Create and manage catalogs of approved IT services
• Govern and publish infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates, commonly AWS CloudFormation templates
• Control which users can deploy specific products and configurations
• Apply versioning, permissions, and deployment constraints

• AWS Resource Explorer: Searches and discovers AWS resources; it does not govern IaC templates.
• AWS Organizations: Manages multiple AWS accounts, policies, and consolidated billing.
• AWS Systems Manager: Helps operate and manage deployed resources, such as patching and automation, but is not primarily a catalog for governed IaC products.

• A: Configure security groups — Customers define inbound and outbound rules for resources such as Amazon EC2 instances.
• B: Classify company assets — Customers decide how their data and assets should be classified and protected.

• C: Amazon S3 is a regional service; customers select a Region, not individual Availability Zones for buckets.
• D: AWS manages the infrastructure and patching for Amazon DynamoDB.
• E: AWS manages the infrastructure used by AWS Lambda; customers do not select EC2 instances for Lambda functions.

• The user authenticates with the external Identity Provider.
• Salesforce receives the SAML assertion.
• Salesforce uses attributes in that assertion—such as username, email, first name, last name, and profile/community information—to create the user during the first login.
• On later logins, Salesforce updates or uses the existing user record.

• On-the-fly provisioning is a general phrase; the Salesforce capability being tested is specifically JIT provisioning.
• Salesforce APIs would require a separate integration and provisioning process.
• Identity Connect is designed primarily to synchronize users from an identity directory, not to create users at the moment of their first SAML login.

• Leadership and stakeholder commitment
• Business capability and skills
• Organizational culture
• Availability of resources
• Ability to manage and sustain change
• Impact of the proposed transformation

• How ready the organization is
• Which areas require urgent attention
• How difficult each issue may be to resolve
• Risks that could affect implementation

• A: Places the assessment in Phase B and refers vaguely to creating views; this is not the prescribed technique.
• B: An Implementation Factor Assessment and Deduction Matrix is not the primary TOGAF technique described for business transformation readiness.
• D: A Business Scenario helps identify requirements and stakeholder concerns, but it is not the main technique for assessing organizational readiness.

• Filtering or reshaping columns
• Joining with an analysis-specific dataset
• Creating calculated fields
• Applying business logic for a particular project

• Data blending: Combining different data sources, not specifically the final processing step.
• Data enhancement: A broad term for enriching data.
• Data testing: Checking data quality or pipeline correctness.
• Last-mile ETL: The precise term for additional transformations performed after the main pipeline, often directly before analytics or reporting.

• Basic: Self-help only; no technical support or design assessment.
• Standard: Technical support, but not the full proactive architectural guidance required here.
• Professional Direct: Provides proactive guidance and architecture-related assistance.
• Premier: Also supports this, but is a more expensive, enterprise-level option.

• A. IDS attack signatures: An IDS primarily detects suspicious network activity and usually does not provide dedicated file-upload malware scanning. It is generally detective rather than preventive.
• C. Load balancer: Distributes traffic among servers and improves availability; it does not inspect documents for malware.
• D. WAF: Helps block web-application attacks such as SQL injection, command injection, and XSS. Although a WAF may inspect upload requests, malware detection in PDF files is more directly addressed by antivirus or content-scanning functionality.

• A: Allow SAN certificates — SANs are used to identify valid hostnames in a certificate. They do not bypass trust validation.
• C: Open the secure LDAP port — A blocked port would normally cause a timeout or connection-refused error, not certificate errors.
• D: Increase the TLS version on the RA — The issue concerns certificate trust, not the organization’s registration authority.

• A — Increasing the minimum password length to 14 characters: Longer passwords have more possible combinations, making them harder to guess or crack through brute force.
• F — Requiring at least one special character: This increases password complexity and expands the possible character combinations.

• MD5 to SHA-512: Improves password-hash resistance, but does not stop users from choosing easy-to-guess passwords. Also, modern systems should use a password-specific hashing algorithm such as bcrypt, scrypt, or Argon2.
• Increasing maximum age to 120 days: Leaves weak passwords in use longer.
• Reducing minimum length to 10: Makes guessing easier.
• Reducing minimum age to zero: Allows immediate password changes but does not make the password itself harder to guess.

• Separate accounts/domains create a strong administrative boundary between non-production and production.
• Separate projects provide distinct IAM boundaries, billing, quotas, service accounts, and resources.
• Developers can receive permissions in the development project without automatically gaining access to production.
• Production administrators can be restricted from development resources, supporting separation of duties and least privilege.

• A: Creates excessive project fragmentation without being required by the stated requirement.
• C: Keeps development and production under one account and does not clearly separate administrative duties.
• D: Uses one account and only two projects; it provides some project isolation but weaker organizational separation.

• Whether a user has a console password
• Password age and last password change
• Whether MFA is enabled
• Access key status
• Access key creation date and last-use information
• Access key age, which helps audit rotation

• IAM Access Analyzer identifies unintended access to resources; it does not report credential age or rotation.
• AWS Artifact provides AWS compliance documents and agreements, not details about your IAM users.
• AWS Audit Manager helps collect evidence for audits, but it is not the direct tool for viewing IAM credential rotation details.

• A: Reduce management overhead — This is generally an advantage of public cloud, not hybrid cloud. Hybrid environments can increase management complexity.
• B: Cross-platform virtualization — Not the defining advantage of hybrid cloud.
• D: Leverage IaaS and PaaS — Public clouds commonly provide both IaaS and PaaS, so this is not unique to hybrid cloud.

• Use one Azure AD directory for the organization.
• Separate divisions with subscriptions and/or resource groups.
• Assign each division’s administrator appropriate Azure role-based access control (RBAC) permissions, scoped to their subscription or resource group.

Correct choices

• DB1: Azure Data Box Heavy
• Virtual machines: Azure Migrate

Why

• Replication with minimal downtime
• A test migration
• Final cutover after validation

• SQL injection (SQLi): Attacks databases by inserting malicious SQL commands.
• Cross-site scripting (XSS): Injects scripts into web pages viewed by other users.
• Sideloading: Installing an application from outside the official app store. It may install unauthorized apps, but it does not generally unlock the operating system or enable restricted system features.

• 25 — Traditional SMTP server-to-server delivery; often restricted for client submission and not inherently encrypted.
• 110 — POP3 for retrieving email; unencrypted by default.
• 143 — IMAP for retrieving and synchronizing email; unencrypted by default.
• 587 — Authenticated SMTP submission, commonly secured with STARTTLS.

• SAML: Enables federated authentication and single sign-on between the IdP and SaaS providers.
• OAuth tokens: Allow delegated application access; OAuth is not primarily the first step for employee SSO.
• Password vaulting: Stores or autofills multiple passwords but does not eliminate the separate credentials or provide true federation.

• Drops packets when traffic exceeds a certain bitrate: This describes traffic policing, not shaping.
• Fragments large packets and queues them: Shaping does not fragment packets as its primary congestion-control action.
• Drops packets randomly from lower-priority queues: Packet dropping may occur if a shaping queue becomes full, but it is not the defining behavior.

• Shaping: buffers and delays excess traffic.
• Policing: drops or marks traffic that exceeds the configured rate.

• Import: Copies data into the Power BI model. It requires scheduled or manual refresh, so it may not meet the two-minute requirement.
• Live connection: Connects to an existing Power BI semantic model or Analysis Services model; it is not the appropriate choice for connecting directly to the Azure SQL database in this scenario.

• Ease of exploitation
• Required privileges
• User interaction
• Impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability

• CVE: Identifies and names a specific publicly known vulnerability; it does not measure severity.
• OSINT: Refers to intelligence gathered from publicly available sources.
• SOAR: Automates and coordinates security operations, such as alert response and playbooks.

• SAMLRequest: the SAML authentication request
• RelayState: the original destination or application state

• RedirectURL: not the standard SAML parameter for preserving the original request.
• DisplayState: not a standard SAML SSO parameter.
• StartURL: Salesforce-related terminology, but not the standard parameter used in this SAML exchange.

• Virtual machine disks
• Databases
• Storage accounts
• File systems

• Site-to-site VPN: protects data moving between networks
• HTTPS: protects data moving between a client and website
• Encrypted email: generally protects the message while being transmitted

• At rest = stored data
• In transit = moving data
• In use = data currently being processed by a system

• Prevent connections to malware command-and-control servers
• Identify infected systems making those DNS requests
• Collect information for incident response

• A: Attackers do not normally use sinkholes to map a company’s domain structure.
• B: Redirecting employees from legitimate sites to attacker-owned sites describes malicious DNS manipulation, not a defensive sinkhole.
• D: Attracting attackers away from real resources is more closely associated with a honeypot or deception system.

1. The sender hashes the original message and sends the message plus its hash.
2. The receiver applies the same hashing algorithm to the received message.
3. The receiver compares the newly calculated hash with the sender’s hash.
4. Matching values indicate that the message was not altered in transit.

• A binary image is not the normal description of a hash result.
• Using a different algorithm produces a different type of digest, so the values cannot be directly compared.
• Hashing verifies integrity, but by itself does not prove who sent the message. Digital signatures or MACs address authentication and integrity together.

• The requirement explicitly says the organization wants to use SAML to secure Salesforce API access.
• The SAML Bearer Assertion Flow exchanges a SAML assertion for a Salesforce OAuth access token.
• It is intended for server-to-server or other noninteractive integrations where the application has already been authenticated by an identity provider.
• The connected app can be configured so administrators authorize or preauthorize applications that consume the APIs.

• B — JWT Bearer Flow: Uses a signed JWT, not a SAML assertion. It would be appropriate if the requirement specified JWT-based authentication.
• C — SAML Assertion Flow: This is not the standard Salesforce OAuth flow name; the relevant name is OAuth 2.0 SAML Bearer Assertion Flow.
• D — User-Agent Flow: Designed for interactive browser-based authorization, not a SAML-based server-to-server integration.

• SharePoint search: Finds documents based on search terms, but it does not reliably identify every 32-character account number for DLP enforcement.
• A hunting query in Microsoft 365 Defender: Used for security investigations, not for defining sensitive content in a DLP policy.
• Azure Information Protection: Uses classification and labeling; it does not automatically identify this specific account-number pattern unless configured with a matching sensitive information type.
• RegEx pattern matching: Best suited for structured identifiers with a known format, such as account numbers, employee IDs, or policy numbers.

• IPsec: Protects traffic at the network layer, commonly for VPNs; it is not WPA2’s authentication protocol.
• SSL: Protects specific application sessions and has largely been replaced by TLS.
• SSH: Secures remote command-line administration.

• Users logging in more frequently than average
• Logins occurring during non-business hours
• Patterns that may indicate compromised credentials or suspicious access

• Login History: Shows individual login attempts and basic details, but does not provide behavioral analysis or averages.
• Login Inspector: Used to troubleshoot or inspect a specific login attempt, rather than analyze organization-wide patterns.
• Login Report: May provide reportable login information, but it is not the specialized tool for forensic behavioral analysis.
