Responda
  • VPN server should be placed in front of firewall if the firewall needs to inspect the packet payloud.
  • VPN server can only be established by IP security.
  • VPN can build multiple overlaying networks that share the same physical network.

Questão 26

Questão
How does a TCP flooding attack occur?
Responda
  • Transport layer security (TLS) only secures communication between email servers and does not protect between client and server. This means all intermediate hops see plaintext. Hackers and government agencies can utilise this to their advantage. Google uses their key to encrypt emails and can decrypt the emails when requested.
  • During a TCP flood attack the attacker repeatedly send SYN packets to every port on the target server, often using fake IP addresses. These packets appear legitimate to the server as it tries to establish communication with a SYN-ACK packet. This basically overloads the server and it cannot establish communication due to the large amount of requests occurring.
  • A TCP flooding attack occurs by an attacker establishing a worm inside the victim system. This worm repeatedly attempts to connect to the system via SYN-ACK packets. These appear legeitimate as they come from within the host system and therefore bypass protection like firewalls and IPSec. This constant connections overload the systems resources causing it to reach capacity, and not be able to accept any legitimate connections.

Questão
If the server does not allocate any resource to maintain the connections during the TCP handshake, will the attack still be successful?
Responda
  • True
  • False

Responda
  • True
  • False

  • True
  • False

Responda
  • True
  • False

  • True
  • False

Questão 32

Questão

Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 33

Questão
Which statement(s) is/are true about the TOR network?
Responda
  • If there are 5 intermediate Tor routers between the user and web server, the middle one knows neither the user IP nor the server IP.
  • For per communication session, each TOR router will use its own key to encrypt the message.
  • Tor can hide the IP address of the users from all intermediate Tor routers.

Questão 34

Questão
Which statement(s) is/are true about the secure key distribution?
Responda
  • Alice can use public key of Bob to encrypt the private message encryption key in the presence of MITM attackers.
  • A security association is defined by the HMAC output that’s computed on the packets
  • Two parties can run the DH key exchange protocol to generate the key after mutual verification of their identities.

Questão 35

Questão
Which way(s) is/are not trusted for obtaining the CA’s certificate?
Responda
  • The certificate is installed on your mobile phone’s operating system.
  • The certificate is loaded from a USB, which is mailed from the CA service provider.
  • The certificate is sent by a chat bot via an end-to-end encrypted messaging app.

Responda
  • IPSec-based VPN reveals the IP address of the sender host.
  • IPSec-based VPN prevents from traffic analysis.
  • IPSec-based VPN reveals the IP addresses of the gateways which establish the tunnel.

Questão 37

Questão
In PGP, the signature of message is generated before compression. Which statement(s) is/are the reason of doing this?
Responda
  • The signature cannot be applied on the compressed message.
  • The compression algorithm might not be deterministic.
  • The compression algorithm can reduce the redundancy of the message.

Questão 38

Questão
Why is the checksum in the header field of an IP packet insufficient for offering security?
Responda
  • Checksum is not encrypted
  • Checksum only checks some parts of the payload
  • Checksum itself can be changed and forged

Questão 39

Questão

Responda
  • True
  • False

Questão 45

Questão
Why does compression take place before encryption in PGP?
Responda
  • Compression takes place before encryption to reduce the size of the message.
  • Compression is done prior to encryption to reduce redundancy. Compressing after encryption would mean the encryption would also have to be compressed, which would lower efficiency and speed.
  • Compression is done prior to encryption to increase the validity of the encryption.
