attack

A
brute
force
attack
Explanation
A
password
spraying
attack
is
a
form
of
brute
force
attack
where
the
hacker
tries
a
long
list
of
potential
passwords
until
one
of
them
works.
A
phishing
attack
is
one
where
the
hacker
tries
to
get
a
user
to
click
on
a
malicious
link
by
pretending
to
be
from
a
trusted
source,
such
as
Google
or
Amazon.
A
privilege
escalation
attack
is
a
kind
of
attack
where
the
hacker
tries
to
gain
enhanced
privileges
on
a
system.
A
path
traversal
attack
(directory
traversal)
aims
to
access
files
and
directories
that
are
stored
outside
the
web
root
folder.
John
creates
an
account
and
creates
a
listing
for
the
sale
of
his
home.
He
uses
HTML
tags
to
bold
important
words.
Kris,
an
attacker,
spots
John's
listing
and
notices
the
bolded
words.
Kris
assumes
HTML
tags
are
enabled
on
the
user
end
and
uses
this
vulnerability
to
insert
her
own
script,
which
will
send
her
a
copy
of
the
cookie
information
for
any
user
who
looks
at
the
ad.
Which
type
of
attack
method
is
Kris
MOST
likely
using?
A.
RAT
B.
Cross-site
scripting
C.
Backdoor
Trojan
D.
Active
session
hijacking
-
ANS-B.
Cross-site
scripting
Explanation
This
attack
is
a
cross-site
scripting
attack
because
Kris
is
injecting
malicious
script
into
the
real
estate
listing
server's
database.
The
backdoor
Trojan
attack
method
provides
complete
administrative
access
to
a
remote
system
and
can
bypass
security,
such
as
a
firewall
or
IDS.
The
main
difference
between
a
backdoor
Trojan
and
a
RAT
is
that
the
backdoor
does
not
provide
remote
desktop
GUI
access,
only
a
shell.
A
RAT
is
a
Remote
Access
Trojan.
It
provides
a
hacker
with
remote
desktop
GUI
access
to
the
victim
machine
and
complete
control
over
the
system. An
active
session
hijacking
method
is
when
an
attacker
gets
directly
involved
with
an
active
session
by
manipulating
the
client's
connection,
kicking
the
client
off,
and
then
assuming
the
role
of
the
client
in
the
session.
Over
time,
changes
in
the
way
people
use
networks
have
complicated
protecting
a
network
against
security
threats.
Which
of
the
following
trends
has
increased
the
need
for
security?
(Select
two.)
A.
Cloud
computing
B.
Multi-factor
authentication
C.
Startup
companies
D.
Social
networking
E.
Privilege
escalation
-
ANS-A.
Cloud
computing
D.
Social
networking
Explanation
Changes
in
the
way
people
use
networks,
such
as
Bring
Your
Own
Device
(BYOD),
cloud
computing,
working
from
home,
and
social
networking,
have
complicated
protecting
a
network
against
security
threats.
Privilege
escalation
is
the
act
of
a
hacker
obtaining
administrative
privileges.
Multi-factor
authentication
is
a
form
of
authentication
that
creates
an
extra
layer
of
security
by
requiring
two
or
more
forms
of
authentication.
Startup
companies
do
not
by
themselves
create
the
need
for
increased
cybersecurity.
Which
of
the
following
BEST
describes
a
TCP
session
hijacking
attack?
A.
An
attacker
sniffs
between
two
machines
on
a
connection-based
protocol,
monitors
the
traffic
to
capture
the
session
ID,
terminates
the
target
computer's
connection,
and
injects
packets
to
the
server.
B.
An
attacker
returns
a
response
to
the
target
before
the
server
does.
They
do
this
on
a
connectionless-based
protocol
that
does
not
use
sequence
packets.
C.
An
attacker
sniffs
traffic
between
the
target
machine
and
server
and
then
uses
ARP
poisoning
to
redirect
communication
through
the
attacker's
machine.
D.
An
attacker
alters
the
DNS
server
to
redirect
traffic
to
a
malicious
website
and
targets
Active
Directory
or
other
DNS-reliant
networks.

Explanation
A

attack
is
a
network-level
attack
