As a securing consultant, what are some of the things you would recommend to a company to ensure DNS security?
Select the best answers.

  1. Use the same machines for DNS and other applications
  2. Harden DNS servers
  3. Use split-horizon operation for DNS servers
  4. Restrict Zone transfers
  5. Have subnet diversity between DNS servers

Answer(s): B,C,D,E

Explanation:

A is not a correct answer as it is never recommended to use a DNS server for any other application. Hardening of the DNS servers makes them less vulnerable to attack. It is recommended to split internal and external DNS servers (called split-horizon operation). Zone transfers should only be accepted from authorized DNS servers.
By having DNS servers on different subnets, you may prevent both from going down, even if one of your networks goes down.

A network admin contacts you. He is concerned that ARP spoofing or poisoning might occur on his network. What are some things he can do to prevent it?
Select the best answers.

  1. Use port security on his switches.
  2. Use a tool like ARPwatch to monitor for strange ARP activity.
  3. Use a firewall between all LAN segments.
  4. If you have a small network, use static ARP entries.
  5. Use only static IP addresses on all PC's.

Answer(s): A,B,D

Explanation:

By using port security on his switches, the switches will only allow the first MAC address that is connected to the switch to use that port, thus preventing ARP spoofing. ARPWatch is a tool that monitors for strange ARP activity. This may help identify ARP spoofing when it happens. Using firewalls between all LAN segments is possible and may help, but is usually pretty unrealistic. On a very small network, static ARP entries are a possibility. However, on a large network, this is not an realistic option. ARP spoofing doesn't have anything to do with static or dynamic IP addresses. Thus, this option won't help you.



Peter, a Network Administrator, has come to you looking for advice on a tool that would help him perform SNMP enquires over the network. Which of these tools would do the SNMP enumeration he is looking for?
Select the best answers.

  1. SNMPUtil
  2. SNScan
  3. SNMPScan
  4. Solarwinds IP Network Browser
  5. NMap

Answer(s): A,B,D

Explanation:

SNMPUtil is a SNMP enumeration utility that is a part of the Windows 2000 resource kit. With SNMPUtil, you can retrieve all sort of valuable information through SNMP. SNScan is a SNMP network scanner by Foundstone. It does SNMP scanning to find open SNMP ports.
