Exhibit:
ettercap –NCLzs --quiet
What does the command in the exhibit do in “Ettercap”?

  1. This command will provide you the entire list of hosts in the LAN
  2. This command will check if someone is poisoning you and will report its IP.
  3. This command will detach from console and log all the collected passwords from the network to a file.
  4. This command broadcasts ping to scan the LAN instead of ARP request of all the subnet IPs.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

-N = NON interactive mode (without ncurses)
-C = collect all users and passwords
-L = if used with -C (collector) it creates a file with all the password sniffed in the session in the form "YYYYMMDD-collected-pass.log"
-z = start in silent mode (no arp storm on start up)
-s = IP BASED sniffing
--quiet = "demonize" ettercap. Useful if you want to log all data in background.



A remote user tries to login to a secure network using Telnet, but accidently types in an invalid user name or password. Which responses would NOT be preferred by an experienced Security Manager? (Multiple answer)

  1. Invalid Username
  2. Invalid Password
  3. Authentication Failure
  4. Login Attempt Failed
  5. Access Denied

Answer(s): A,B

Explanation:

As little information as possible should be given about a failed login attempt. Invalid username or password is not desirable.



A POP3 client contacts the POP3 server:

  1. To send mail
  2. To receive mail
  3. to send and receive mail
  4. to get the address to send mail to
  5. initiate a UDP SMTP connection to read mail

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

POP is used to receive e-mail.SMTP is used to send e-mail.



Samantha was hired to perform an internal security test of company. She quickly realized that all networks are making use of switches instead of traditional hubs. This greatly limits her ability to gather information through network sniffing.
Which of the following techniques can she use to gather information from the switched network or to disable some of the traffic isolation features of the switch? (Choose two)

  1. Ethernet Zapping
  2. MAC Flooding
  3. Sniffing in promiscuous mode
  4. ARP Spoofing

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:

In a typical MAC flooding attack, a switch is flooded with packets, each containing different source MAC addresses. The intention is to consume the limited memory set aside in the switch to store the MAC address-to-physical port translation table.The result of this attack causes the switch to enter a state called failopen mode, in which all incoming packets are broadcast out on all ports (as with a hub), instead of just down the correct port as per normal operation. The principle of ARP spoofing is to send fake, or 'spoofed', ARP messages to an Ethernet LAN. These frames contain false MAC addresses, confusing network devices, such as network switches. As a result frames intended for one machine can be mistakenly sent to another (allowing the packets to be sniffed) or an unreachable host (a denial of service attack).



Ethereal works best on .

  1. Switched networks
  2. Linux platforms
  3. Networks using hubs
  4. Windows platforms
  5. LAN's

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Ethereal is used for sniffing traffic. It will return the best results when used on an unswitched (i.e. hub. network.
