Q421. Paul has just finished setting up his wireless network. He has enabled numerous security features such as changing the default SSID, enabling WPA encryption and enabling MAC filtering on hi wireless router. Paul notices when he uses his wireless connection, the speed is sometimes 54 Mbps and sometimes it is only 24mbps or less. Paul connects to his wireless router’s management utility and notices that a machine with an unfamiliar name is connected through his wireless connection. Paul checks the router’s logs and notices that the unfamiliar machine has the same MAC address as his laptop.
What is Paul seeing here?
A. MAC Spoofing
B. Macof
C. ARP Spoofing
D. DNS Spoofing
Answer: A
Explanation: You can fool MAC filtering by spoofing your MAC address and pretending to have some other computers MAC address.

423. Virus Scrubbers and other malware detection program can only detect items that they are aware of. Which of the following tools would allow you to detect unauthorized changes or modifications of binary files on your system by unknown malware?
A. System integrity verification tools
B. Anti-Virus Software
C. A properly configured gateway
D. There is no way of finding out until a new updated signature file is released
Answer: A
Explanation: Programs like Tripwire aids system administrators and users in monitoring a designated set of files for any changes. Used with system files on a regular (e.g., daily) basis, Tripwire can notify system administrators of corrupted or tampered files, so damage control measures can be taken in a timely manner.
Q422. Bank of Timbuktu was a medium-sized, regional financial institution in Timbuktu. The bank has deployed a new Internet-accessible Web application recently, using which customers could access their account balances, transfer money between accounts, pay bills and conduct online financial business using a Web browser.
John Stevens was in charge of information security at Bank of Timbuktu. After one month in production, several customers complained about the Internet enabled banking application. Strangely, the account balances of many bank’s customers has been changed!
However, money hadn’t been removed from the bank. Instead, money was transferred between accounts. Given this attack profile, John Stevens reviewed the Web application’s logs and found the following entries:
Attempted login of unknown user: John Attempted login of unknown user: sysaR Attempted login of unknown user: sencat Attempted login of unknown user: pete ‘’; Attempted login of unknown user: ‘ or 1=1--Attempted login of unknown user: ‘; drop table logins--Login of user jason, sessionID= 0x75627578626F6F6B Login of user daniel, sessionID= 0x98627579539E13BE Login of user rebecca, sessionID= 0x90627579944CCB811 Login of user mike, sessionID= 0x9062757935FB5C64 Transfer Funds user jason Pay Bill user mike Logout of user mike
What kind of attack did the Hacker attempt to carry out at the bank? (Choose the best answer)
A. The Hacker attempted SQL Injection technique to gain access to a valid bank login ID.
B. The Hacker attempted Session hijacking, in which the Hacker opened an account with the bank, then logged in to receive a session ID, guessed the next ID and took over Jason’s session.
C. The Hacker attempted a brute force attack to guess login ID and password using password cracking tools.
D. The Hacker used a random generator module to pass results to the Web server and exploited Web application CGI vulnerability.
Answer: A
Explanation: The following part: Attempted login of unknown user: pete ‘’; Attempted login of unknown user: ‘ or 1=1--Attempted login of unknown user: ‘; drop table logins--Clearly shows a hacker trying to perform a SQL injection by bypassing the login with the statement 1=1 and then dumping the logins table.
Q423. Exhibit:
The following is an entry captured by a network IDS. You are assigned the task of analyzing this entry. You notice the value 0x90, which is the most common NOOP instruction for the Intel processor. You figure that the attacker is attempting a buffer overflow attack. You also notice "/bin/sh" in the ASCII part of the output. As an analyst what would you conclude about the attack?
A. The buffer overflow attack has been neutralized by the IDS
B. The attacker is creating a directory on the compromised machine
C. The attacker is attempting a buffer overflow attack and has succeeded
D. The attacker is attempting an exploit that launches a command-line shell
Answer: D
Explanation: This log entry shows a hacker using a buffer overflow to fill the data buffer and trying to insert the execution of /bin/sh into the executable code part of the thread. It is probably an existing exploit that is used, or a directed attack with a custom built buffer overflow with the “payload” that launches the command shell.
Q424. Jacob would like your advice on using a wireless hacking tool that can save him time and get him better results with lesser packets. You would like to recommend a tool that uses KoreK's implementation. Which tool would you recommend from the list below?
A. Kismet
B. Shmoo
C. Aircrack
D. John the Ripper
Answer: C
Explanation: Implementing KoreK's attacks as well as improved FMS, aircrack provides the fastest and most effective statistical attacks available. John the Ripper is a password cracker, Kismet is an 802.11 layer2 wireless network detector, sniffer, and intrusion detection system, and
Q425. You are attempting to map out the firewall policy for an organization. You discover your target system is one hop beyond the firewall. Using hping2, you send SYN packets with the exact TTL of the target system starting at port 1 and going up to port 1024. What is this process known as?
A. Footprinting
B. Firewalking
C. Enumeration
D. Idle scanning
Answer: B
Explanation: Firewalking uses a traceroute-like IP packet analysis to determine whether or not a particular packet can pass from the attacker’s host to a destination host through a packet-filtering device. This technique can be used to map ‘open’ or ‘pass through’ ports on a gateway. More over, it can determine whether packets with various control information can pass through a given gateway.
Q426. Which one of the following attacks will pass through a network layer intrusion detection system undetected?
A. A teardrop attack
B. A SYN flood attack
C. A DNS spoofing attack
D. A test.cgi attack
Answer: D
Explanation: Because a network-based IDS reviews packets and headers, it can also detect denial of service (DoS) attacks
Not A or B:
The following sections discuss some of the possible DoS attacks available.

Q427. Fred is the network administrator for his company. Fred is testing an internal switch. From an external IP address, Fred wants to try and trick this switch into thinking it already has established a session with his computer. How can Fred accomplish this?
A. Fred can accomplish this by sending an IP packet with the RST/SIN bit and the source address of his computer.
B. He can send an IP packet with the SYN bit and the source address of his computer.
C. Fred can send an IP packet with the ACK bit set to zero and the source address of the switch.
D. Fred can send an IP packet to the switch with the ACK bit and the source address of his machine.
Answer: D

Topic 3, Scanning
35. Doug is conducting a port scan of a target network. He knows that his client target network has a web server and that there is a mail server also which is up and running. Doug has been sweeping the network but has not been able to elicit any response from the remote target. Which of the following could be the most likely cause behind this lack of response? Select 4.
A. UDP is filtered by a gateway
B. The packet TTL value is too low and cannot reach the target
C. The host might be down
D. The destination network might be down
E. The TCP windows size does not match
F. ICMP is filtered by a gateway
Answer: ABCF
Explanation: If the destination host or the destination network is down there is no way to get an answer and if TTL (Time To Live) is set too low the UDP packets will “die” before reaching the host because of too many hops between the scanning computer and the target. The TCP receive window size is the amount of received data (in bytes) that can be buffered during a connection. The sending host can send only that amount of data before it must wait for an acknowledgment and window update from the receiving host and ICMP is mainly used for echo requests and not in port scans.
Q429. Jeffery works at a large financial firm in Dallas, Texas as a securities analyst. Last week, the IT department of his company installed a wireless network throughout the building. The problem is, is that they are only going to make it available to upper management and the IT department.
Most employees don't have a problem with this since they have no need for wireless networking, but Jeffery would really like to use wireless since he has a personal laptop that he works from as much as he can. Jeffery asks the IT manager if he could be allowed to use the wireless network but he is turned down. Jeffery is not satisfied, so he brings his laptop in to work late one night and tries to get access to the network. Jeffery uses the wireless utility on his laptop, but cannot see any wireless networks available. After about an hour of trying to figure it out, Jeffery cannot get on the company's wireless network. Discouraged, Jeffery leaves the office and goes home.
The next day, Jeffery calls his friend who works with computers. His friend suggests that his IT department might have turned off SSID broadcasting, and that is why he could not see any wireless networks. How would Jeffrey access the wireless network?
A. Run WEPCrack tool and brute force the SSID hashes
B. Jam the wireless signal by launching denial of service attack
C. Sniff the wireless network and capture the SSID that is transmitted over the wire in plaintext
D. Attempt to connect using wireless device default SSIDs
Answer: C
Q430. Which of the following tool would be considered as Signature Integrity Verifier (SIV)?
