a) USB Snoopy
b) USB Grabber
c) USB Sniffer
d) USB Dumper

197. You have successfully compromised a machine on the network and found a server that
is alive on the same network. You tried to ping it but you didn't get any response back.
 What is happening?
a) TCP/IP doesn't support ICMP.
b) The ARP is disabled on the target server.
c) ICMP could be disabled on the target server.
d) You need to run the ping command with root privileges.

198. When you are getting information about a web server, it is very important to know the
HTTP Methods (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE) that are available because
there are two critical methods (PUT and DELETE). PUT can upload a file to the server and
DELETE can delete a file from the server. You can detect all these methods (GET, POST,
HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE) using NMAP script engine.

What nmap script will help you with this task?

a) http enum
b) http-git
c) http-headers
d) http-methods

199. An Internet Service Provider (ISP) has a need to authenticate users connecting using
analog modems, Digital Subscriber Lines (DSL), wireless data services, and Virtual Private
Networks (VPN) over a Frame Relay network.
Which AAA protocol is most likely able to handle this requirement?

a) Kerberos
b) RADIUS
c) DIAMETER
d) TACACS+

200. WPA2 uses AES for wireless data encryption at which of the following encryption
levels?

a) 64 bit and CCMP

b) 128 bit and CCMP
c) 128 bit and CRC
d) 128 bit and TKIP

201. Session splicing is an IDS evasion technique in which an attacker delivers data in
multiple, smallsized packets to the target computer, making it very difficult for an IDS to
detect the attack signatures.

Which tool can be used to perform session splicing attacks?

a) Whisker
b) Tcpsplice
c) Hydra
d) Burp

202. You have compromised a server on a network and successfully opened a shell. You
aimed to identify all operating systems running on the network. However, as you attempt to
fingerprint all machines in the network using the nmap syntax below, it is not going
through.
invictus@victim_server:~$ nmap -T4 -O 10.10.0.0/24
TCP/IP fingerprinting (for OS scan) xxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxx.
QUITTING!

What seems to be wrong?

a) The outgoing TCP/IP fingerprinting is blocked by the host firewall.
b) OS Scan requires root privileges.
c) The nmap syntax is wrong.
d) This is a common behavior for a corrupted nmap application.

203. Which of the following is a command line packet analyzer similar to GUI-based
Wireshark?
a) Jack the ripper
b) Tcpdump
c) Ethereal
d) nessus

203. Which regulation defines security and privacy controls for Federal information systems
and organizations?

a) HIPAA
b) NIST-800-53
c) PCI-DSS
d) EU Safe Harbor
 204. Which protocol and port number might be needed in order to send log messages to a log
analysis
tool that resides behind a firewall?

a) UDP123

b) UDP541

c) UDP514

d) UDP 415

205. During a blackbox pen test you attempt to pass IRC traffic over port 80/TCP from a
compromised web enabled host. The traffic gets blocked; however, outbound HTTP traffic is
unimpeded.
What type of firewall is inspecting outbound traffic?

a) Circuit
b) Application
c) Stateful
d) Packet Filtering

206. The configuration allows a wired or wireless network interface controller to pass all traffic
it receives to the central processing unit (CPU), rather than passing only the frames that the
controller is intended to receive.
Which of the following is being described?
a) port forwarding
b) promiscuous mode
c) multi-cast mode
d) WEM
