Which
of
the
following
technologies
is
a
target
of
XSS
or
CSS
(Cross-Site
Scripting)
attacks?
A.
Web
Applications
B.
Intrusion
Detection
Systems
C.
Firewalls
D.
DNS
Servers
A.
Web
Applications
Cross-Site
Scripting
(XSS)
attacks
primarily
target
web
applications.
XSS
vulnerabilities
occur
when
an
attacker
injects
malicious
scripts
into
web
pages
viewed
by
other
users.
These
scripts
can
then
execute
within
the
context
of
the
victim's
browser ,
potentially
allowing
the
attacker
to
steal
session
cookies,
manipulate
web
page
content,
or
perform
other
malicious
actions.
XSS
attacks
can
be
mitigated
through
proper
input
validation
and
output
encoding
techniques
in
web
application
development.
What
is
malware
that
can
spread
itself
over
open
network
connections?
A.
Worm
B.
Rootkit
C.
Adware
D.
Logic
Bomb
A.
Worm
A
worm
is
a
type
of
malware
that
can
spread
itself
over
open
network
connections
without
requiring
user
intervention.
Once
a
system
is
infected,
the
worm
can
independently
replicate
and
spread
to
other
vulnerable
systems
on
the
same
network
or
across
the
internet.
Worms
exploit
vulnerabilities
in
network
services
or
operating
systems
to
propagate
and
may
carry
payloads
that
perform
various
malicious
actions,
such
as
data
theft,
system
corruption,
or
distributed
denial-of-service
(DDoS)
attacks
Java
is
not:
A.
Object-oriented.
B.
Distributed.
C.
Architecture
Specific.
D.
Multithreaded.
C.
Architecture
Specific.
Java
is
designed
to
be
platform-independent,
meaning
it
is
not
tied
to
any
specific
hardware
or
architecture.
It
achieves
this
through
the
Java
Virtual
Machine
(JVM),
which
interprets
Java
bytecode 100%
and
executes
it
on
any
system
that
has
a
compatible
JVM
installed.
Java
programs
can
run
on
various
platforms,
including
Windows,
macOS,
Linux,
and
others,
without
modification,
making
it
a
highly
portable
programming
language.
What
best
describes
a
scenario
when
an
employee
has
been
shaving
off
pennies
from
multiple
accounts
and
depositing
the
funds
into
his
own
bank
account?
A.
Data
fiddling
B.
Data
diddling
C.
Salami
techniques
D.
Trojan
horses
C.
Salami
techniques
Salami
techniques
involve
stealing
small
amounts
of
money
or
data
over
time
in
a
manner
that
is
unlikely
to
be
noticed.
In
the
scenario
described,
the
employee
is
surreptitiously
diverting
small
amounts
of
money
from
multiple
accounts
into
their
own
bank
account,
similar
to
how
thin
slices
of
salami
are
gradually
removed
from
a
larger
piece.
Crackers
today
are
MOST
often
motivated
by
their
desire
to:
A.
Help
the
community
in
securing
their
networks.
B.
Seeing
how
far
their
skills
will
take
them.
C.
Getting
recognition
for
their
actions.
D.
Gaining
Money
or
Financial
Gains.
D.
Gaining
Money
or
Financial
Gains.
While
some
individuals
may
engage
in
hacking
activities
for
various
reasons
such
as
curiosity
or
the
desire
to
test
their
skills
(option
B),
the
primary
motivation
for
many
crackers
today
is
financial
gain.
They
may
seek
to
profit
through
various
means,
including
stealing
sensitive
information
for
identity
theft,
conducting
ransomware
attacks,
or
selling
access
to
compromised
systems
on
the
dark
web
What
do
the
ILOVEYOU
and
Melissa
virus
attacks
have
in
common?
A.
They
are
both
denial-of-service
(DOS)
attacks.
B.
They
have
nothing
in
common.
C.
They
are
both
masquerading
attacks.
D.
They
are
both
social
engineering
attacks.
C.
They
are
both
masquerading
attacks.
Both
the
ILOVEYOU
and
Melissa
virus
attacks
utilized
masquerading
techniques.
They
disguised
themselves
as
legitimate
files
or
emails
to
deceive
users
into
opening
them,
thus
spreading
the
malware.
Masquerading
is
a
form
of
social
engineering
where
attackers
impersonate
legitimate
entities
or
use
deceptive
tactics
to
gain
the
trust
of
victims. 100%
Which
of
the
following
computer
crime
is
MORE
often
associated
with
INSIDERS?
A.
IP
spoofing
B.
Password
sniffing
C.
Data
diddling
D.
Denial
of
service
(DOS)
C.
Data
diddling
Data
diddling
refers
to
unauthorized
alterations
made
to
data
by
individuals
who
have
legitimate
access
to
the
system
or
network.
It
is
a
form
of
computer
crime
commonly
associated
with
insiders
who
abuse
their
privileges
to
manipulate
or
modify
data
for
personal
gain
or
malicious
intent.
This
type
of
attack
can
be
difficult
to
detect
because
it
often
involves
subtle
changes
to
data
that
may
go
unnoticed
initially .
The
high
availability
of
multiple
all-inclusive,
easy-to-use
hacking
tools
that
do
NOT
require
much
technical
knowledge
has
brought
a
growth
in
the
number
of
which
type
of
attackers?
A.
Black
hats
B.
White
hats
C.
Script
kiddies
D.
Phreakers
C.
Script
kiddies
Script
kiddies
are
individuals
who
lack
technical
expertise
but
use
readily
available
hacking
tools
to
launch
attacks.
These
tools
often
automate
the
process
of
exploiting
vulnerabilities,
allowing
script
kiddies
to
engage
in
cyber
attacks
without
needing
deep
technical
knowledge.
Which
virus
category
has
the
capability
of
changing
its
own
code,
making
it
harder
to
detect
by
anti-virus
software?
A.
Stealth
viruses
B.
Polymorphic
viruses
C.
Trojan
horses
D.
Logic
bombs
B.
Polymorphic
viruses
Polymorphic
viruses
are
capable
of
changing
their
code
as
they
propagate,
making
it
difficult
for
antivirus
software
to
detect
them.
This
ability
to
alter
their
appearance
allows
polymorphic
viruses
to
evade
traditional
signature-based
detection
methods,
posing
a
significant
challenge
to
cybersecurity
efforts.
Virus
scanning
and
content
inspection
of
SMIME
encrypted
e-mail
without
doing
any
further
processing
is: 100%
A.
Not
possible
B.
Only
possible
with
key
recovery
scheme
of
all
user
keys
C.
It
is
possible
only
if
X509
Version
3
certificates
are
used
D.
It
is
possible
only
by
"brute
force"
decryption
A.
Not
possible
Scanning
and
inspecting
the
content
of
S/MIME
(Secure/Multipurpose
Internet
Mail
Extensions)
encrypted
emails
without
further
processing
is
not
possible.
S/MIME
encryption
ensures
that
the
content
of
the
email
remains
confidential
and
secure,
even
during
transmission.
As
a
result,
traditional
virus
scanning
and
content
inspection
methods
cannot
access
the
encrypted
content
without
decryption,
which
typically
requires
the
recipient's
private
key.
Which
of
the
following
virus
types
changes
some
of
its
characteristics
as
it
spreads?
A.
Boot
Sector
B.
Parasitic
C.
Stealth
D.
Polymorphic
D.
Polymorphic
Polymorphic
viruses
change
their
characteristics,
such
as
their
appearance
and
internal
code,
as
they
spread.
This
behavior
makes
them
difficult
to
detect
using
traditional
antivirus
signatures,
as
they
can
generate
numerous
variants
that
evade
detection.
Polymorphic
viruses
often
employ
encryption
or
other
techniques
to
modify
their
code
each
time
they
infect
a
new
file
or
system,
thereby
increasing
their
chances
of
evading
detection
by
antivirus
software.
In
computing
what
is
the
name
of
a
non-self-replicating
type
of
malware
program
containing
malicious
code
that
appears
to
have
some
useful
purpose
but
also
contains
code
that
has
a
malicious
or
harmful
purpose
imbedded
in
it,
when
executed,
carries
out
actions
that
are
unknown
to
the
person
installing
it,
typically
causing
loss
or
theft
of
data,
and
possible
system
harm.
A.
virus
B.
worm
C.
Trojan
horse.
D.
trapdoor
C.
Trojan
horse.
A
Trojan
horse
is
a
type
of
malware
that
appears
to
be
a
legitimate
or
useful
program
but
actually
contains
malicious
code.
Unlike
viruses
and
worms,
Trojan
horses
do
not
replicate
themselves.
Instead,
they
rely
on
tricking
users
into
executing
them,
often
by
disguising
themselves
as
harmless
software
or
by
exploiting
vulnerabilities
in
legitimate
programs.
Once
executed,
