Questão 7

Questão
Which two statements characterize DoS attacks? (Choose two.)
Responda
  • They are difficult to conduct and are initiated only by very skilled attackers
  • They are commonly launched with a tool called L0phtCrack.
  • Examples include smurf attacks and ping of death attacks.
  • They attempt to compromise the availability of a network, host, or application
  • They always precede access attacks

Questão 8

Questão
An attacker is using a laptop as a rogue access point to capture all network traffic from a targeted user. Which type of attack is this?
Responda
  • trust exploitation
  • buffer overflow
  • man in the middle
  • port redirection

Questão 9

Questão
What functional area of the Cisco Network Foundation Protection framework is responsible for device-generated packets required for network operation, such as ARP message exchanges and routing advertisements?
Responda
  • data plane
  • control plane
  • management plane
  • forwarding plane

Questão
What are the three components of information security ensured by cryptography? (Choose three.)
Responda
  • threat prevention
  • authorization
  • confidentiality
  • countermeasures
  • integrity
  • availability

Questão 11

Questão
What is the primary method for mitigating malware?
Responda
  • using encrypted or hashed authentication protocols
  • installing antivirus software on all hosts
  • blocking ICMP echo and echo-replies at the network edge
  • deploying intrusion prevention systems throughout the network

Questão 12

Questão
What is an objective of a state-sponsored attack?
Responda
  • to gain financial prosperity
  • to sell operation system vulnerabilities to other hackers
  • to gain attention
  • to right a perceived wrong

Questão 13

Questão
What role does the Security Intelligence Operations (SIO) play in the Cisco SecureX architecture?
Responda
  • identifying and stopping malicious traffic
  • authenticating users
  • enforcing policy
  • identifying applications

Responda
  • Treatment
  • containment
  • inoculation
  • quarantine

Questão 15

Questão
How is a smurf attack conducted?
Responda
  • by sending a large number of packets to overflow the allocated buffer memory of the target device
  • by sending a large number of ICMP requests to directed broadcast addresses from a spoofed source address on the same network
  • by sending a large number of TCP SYN packets to a target device from a spoofed source address
  • by sending an echo request in an IP packet larger than the maximum packet size of 65,535 bytes

Questão 16

Questão
What is a characteristic of a Trojan horse as it relates to network security?
Responda
  • Malware is contained in a seemingly legitimate executable program
  • Extreme quantities of data are sent to a particular network device interface.
  • An electronic dictionary is used to obtain a password to be used to infiltrate a key network device.
  • Too much information is destined for a particular memory block causing additional memory areas to be affected.

Questão 17

Questão
What is the first step in the risk management process specified by the ISO/IEC?
Responda
  • Create a security policy.
  • Conduct a risk assessment.
  • Inventory and classify IT assets.
  • Create a security governance model.

Questão 18

Questão
What is the significant characteristic of worm malware?
Responda
  • A worm can execute independently
  • A worm must be triggered by an event on the host system.
  • Worm malware disguises itself as legitimate software
  • Once installed on a host system, a worm does not replicate itself.

Questão 19

Questão
Which condition describes the potential threat created by Instant On in a data center?
Responda
  • when the primary firewall in the data center crashes
  • when an attacker hijacks a VM hypervisor and then launches attacks against other devices in the data center
  • when the primary IPS appliance is malfunctioning
  • when a VM that may have outdated security policies is brought online after a long period of inactivity
