Questions and Answers 2024/2025
Database Control - correct answer SQL Injection and Buffer Overflow
Man in the Middle (mitm) - correct answer impersonates both the sender & the receiver
to intercept communication between two systems. A hacker hijacks a session between
trusted client and network server.
Attacks occur in various OSI Layers. Uses IP spoofing at its base, it goes a mile beyond
that in order to gain control, by choosing sessions from one or more layers to be
hijacked.
Intrusion Prevention systems and ipsec can help. - correct answer The method used to
mitigate a Man in the Middle (mitm) attack.
Vulnerability Testers - correct answer Outside consultants may scan the network and
point out vulnerabilities & how to fix.
Denial of Service (dos) - correct answer Denying service to a computer, network or
network server by overwhelming the victim with large amounts of useless traffic. One
computer is used to flood a server with TCP and UDP packets.
VLAN Hopping - correct answer A method of attacking networked resources on a
VLAN.
VLAN Hopping - correct answer An attacking host on a VLAN gains access to traffic on
other vlans that would normally not be accessible.
Configure the switch Access Control File per the vendor's recommendation. - correct
answer The method used to mitigate a VLAN Hopping attack.
, Transport (4) - in other OSI Layers. Referred to as blackholing, is a method typically
used by isps to stop an attack on one of its customers. Basically, the site is taken down
entirely so other sites on the network are not affected - correct answer The method
used to mitigate a ddos attack.
Spoofing - correct answer VLAN Hopping and Man in the Middle (mitm)
Ping of Death - correct answer Attacker pings the target & sends a ICMP packet over
the max of 65,535 bytes and causes the victim's system to crash or stop functioning.
Causes buffer overflow and crashes.
SMURF ddos (distributed attack) - correct answer Rather than one computer sending
ICMP packets, multiple computers are replying to the ICMP packet.
Network (3)
Update operating systems. Configure Web Application firewall to drop malformed
packets. - correct answer The method used to mitigate a Ping of Death attack.
Ping Flood (Starts with Ping Sweep) - correct answer an information gathering
technique which is used to identify live hosts by pinging them. After, the attacker
overwhelms victim's computer with a large amount of ICMP echo-request packets.
Trunk mode - correct answer if a network administrator mistakenly configures a
computer's switch port as ____________________ the computer may be able to send
and receive traffic on any VLAN on the switch.
SMURF ddos (distributed attack) - correct answer It spoofs the source address for all
ICMP packets
Deauth Attack (Deauthentication (abbreviated deauth)) - correct answer a denial-of-
service (dos) attack where the attacker can force any client (or even every client) off of
the network.
