SSL has been seen as the solution to a lot of common security problems. Administrator will often time make use of SSL to encrypt communications from points A to point B. Why do you think this could be a bad idea if there is an Intrusion Detection System deployed to monitor the traffic between point A and B?

  1. SSL is redundant if you already have IDS's in place
  2. SSL will trigger rules at regular interval and force the administrator to turn them off
  3. SSL will slow down the IDS while it is breaking the encryption to see the packet content
  4. SSL will blind the content of the packet and Intrusion Detection Systems will not be able to detect them

Answer(s): D

  2. Jake can use SNMPrev5
  3. He can use SecWMI
  4. Jake can use SecSNMP

Answer(s): A



June, a security analyst, understands that a polymorphic virus has the ability to mutate and can change its known viral signature and hide from signature-based antivirus programs. Can June use an antivirus program in this case and would it be effective against a polymorphic virus?

  1. Yes. June can use an antivirus program since it compares the parity bit of executable files to the database of known check sum counts and it is effective on a polymorphic virus
  2. Yes. June can use an antivirus program since it compares the signatures of executable files to the database of known viral signatures and it is very effective against a polymorphic virus
  3. No. June can't use an antivirus program since it compares the signatures of executable files to the database of known viral signatures and in the case the polymorphic viruses cannot be detected by a signature-based anti-virus program
  4. No. June can't use an antivirus program since it compares the size of executable files to the database of known viral signatures and it is effective on a polymorphic virus

Answer(s): C



Which of the following Exclusive OR transforms bits is NOT correct?

  1. 0 xor 0 = 0
  2. 1 xor 0 = 1
  3. 1 xor 1 = 1
  4. 0 xor 1 = 1

Answer(s): C



The traditional traceroute sends out ICMP ECHO packets with a TTL of one, and increments the TTL until the destination has been reached. By printing the gateways that generate ICMP time exceeded messages along the way, it is able to determine the path packets take to reach the destination. The problem is that with the widespread use of firewalls on the Internet today, many of the packets that traceroute sends out end up being filtered, making it impossible to completely trace the path to the destination.

How would you overcome the Firewall restriction on ICMP ECHO packets?

  1. Firewalls will permit inbound TCP packets to specific ports that hosts sitting behind the firewall are listening for connections. By sending out TCP SYN packets instead of ICMP ECHO packets, traceroute can bypass the most common firewall filters.
  2. Firewalls will permit inbound UDP packets to specific ports that hosts sitting behind the firewall are listening for connections. By sending out TCP SYN packets instead of ICMP ECHO packets,
    traceroute can bypass the most common firewall filters.
  3. Firewalls will permit inbound UDP packets to specific ports that hosts sitting behind the firewall are listening for connections. By sending out TCP SYN packets instead of ICMP ECHO packets, traceroute can bypass the most common firewall filters.
  4. Do not use traceroute command to determine the path packets take to reach the destination instead use the custom hacking tool JOHNTHETRACER and run with the command c:\> JOHNTHETRACER www.eccouncil.org -F -evade
