Q331. Windows LAN Manager (LM) hashes are known to be weak. Which of the following are known weaknesses of LM? (Choose three)
A. Converts passwords to uppercase.
B. Hashes are sent in clear text over the network.
C. Makes use of only 32 bit encryption.
D. Effective length is 7 characters.
Answer: ABD
Explanation: The LM hash is computed as follows.1. The user’s password as an OEM string is converted to uppercase. 2. This password is either null-padded or truncated to 14 bytes. 3. The “fixed-length” password is split into two 7-byte halves. 4. These values are used to create two DES keys, one from each 7-byte half. 5. Each of these keys is used to DES-encrypt the constant ASCII string “KGS!@#$%”, resulting in two 8-byte ciphertext values. 6. These two ciphertext values are concatenated to form a 16-byte value, which is the LM hash. The hashes them self are sent in clear text over the network instead of sending the password in clear text.
Q332. Annie has just succeeded is stealing a secure cookie via a XSS attack. She is able to replay the cookie even while the session is valid on the server. Why do you think this is possible?
A. Any Cookie can be replayed irrespective of the session status
B. The scenario is invalid as a secure cookie can’t be replayed
C. It works because encryption is performed at the network layer (layer 1 encryption)
D. It works because encryption is performed at the application layer (Single Encryption Key)
Answer: D
Explanation: Single key encryption (conventional cryptography) uses a single word or phrase as the key. The same key is used by the sender to encrypt and the receiver to decrypt. Sender and receiver initially need to have a secure way of passing the key from one to the other. With TLS or SSL this would not be possible.
Q333. Scanning for services is an easy job for Bob as there are so many tools available from the Internet. In order for him to check the vulnerability of company, he went through a few scanners that are currently available. Here are the scanners that he uses:
-Axent’s NetRecon (http://www.axent.com)
-SARA, by Advanced Research Organization (http://www-arc.com/sara)
-VLAD the Scanner, by Razor (http://razor.bindview.com/tools/)
However, there are many other alternative ways to make sure that the services that have been scanned will be more accurate and detailed for Bob.
What would be the best method to accurately identify the services running on a victim host?
A. Using Cheops-ng to identify the devices of company.
B. Using the manual method of telnet to each of the open ports of company.
C. Using a vulnerability scanner to try to probe each port to verify or figure out which service is running for company.
D. Using the default port and OS to make a best guess of what services are running on each port for company.
Answer: B
Explanation: By running a telnet connection to the open ports you will receive banners that tells you what service is answering on that specific port.
Q334. You establish a new Web browser connection to Google. Since a 3-way handshake is required for any TCP connection, the following actions will take place.
-DNS query is sent to the DNS server to resolve www.google.com
-DNS server replies with the IP address for Google?
-SYN packet is sent to Google.
-Google sends back a SYN/ACK packet
-Your computer completes the handshake by sending an ACK
-The connection is established and the transfer of data commences
Which of the following packets represent completion of the 3-way handshake?
A. 4th packet
B. 3rdpacket
C. 6th packet
D. 5th packet
Answer: D
Q335. You are footprinting an organization to gather competitive intelligence. You visit the company’s website for contact information and telephone numbers but do not find it listed there. You know that they had the entire staff directory listed on their website 12 months ago but not it is not there.
How would it be possible for you to retrieve information from the website that is outdated?
A. Visit google’s search engine and view the cached copy.
B. Visit Archive.org web site to retrieve the Internet archive of the company’s website.
C. Crawl the entire website and store them into your computer.
D. Visit the company’s partners and customers website for this information.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Explanation: Archive.org mirrors websites and categorizes them by date and month depending on the crawl time. Archive.org dates back to 1996, Google is incorrect because the cache is only as recent as the latest crawl, the cache is over-written on each subsequent crawl. Download the website is incorrect because that's the same as what you see online. Visiting customer partners websites is just bogus. The answer is then Firmly, C, archive.org
Q336. Theresa is the chief information security officer for her company, a large shipping company based out of New York City. In the past, Theresa and her IT employees manually checked the status of client computers on the network to see if they had the most recent Microsoft updates. Now that the company has added over 100 more clients to accommodate new departments, Theresa must find some kind of tool to see whether the clients are up-to-date or not. Theresa decides to use Qfecheck to monitor all client computers. When Theresa runs the tool, she is repeatedly told that the software does not have the proper permissions to scan. Theresa is worried that the operating system hardening that she performs on all clients is keeping the software from scanning the necessary registry keys on the client computers.
What registry key permission should Theresa check to ensure that Qfecheck runs properly?
A. In order for Qfecheck to run properly, it must have enough permission to read
B. She needs to check the permissions of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Updates registry key
C. Theresa needs to look over the permissions of the registry key
D. The registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Microsoft must be checked
Answer: B
Explanation: Qfecheck check the registry HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Updates

Use the traceroute results shown above to answer the following question:
The perimeter security at targetcorp.com does not permit ICMP TTL-expired packets out.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation: As seen in the exhibit there is 2 registrations with timeout, this tells us that the firewall filters packets where the TTL has reached 0, when you continue with higher starting values for TTL you will get an answer from the target of the traceroute.
Q338. What type of Virus is shown here?
A. Macro Virus
B. Cavity Virus
C. Boot Sector Virus
D. Metamorphic Virus
E. Sparse Infector Virus
Answer: B
Q339. Henry is an attacker and wants to gain control of a system and use it to flood a target system with requests, so as to prevent legitimate users from gaining access. What type of attack is Henry using?
A. Henry is executing commands or viewing data outside the intended target path
B. Henry is using a denial of service attack which is a valid threat used by an attacker
C. Henry is taking advantage of an incorrect configuration that leads to access with higher-than-expected privilege
D. Henry uses poorly designed input validation routines to create or alter commands to gain access to unintended data or execute commands
Answer: B
Explanation: Henry’s intention is to perform a DoS attack against his target, possibly a DDoS attack. He uses systems other than his own to perform the attack in order to cover the tracks back to him and to get more “punch” in the DoS attack if he uses multiple systems.
Q340. NTP allows you to set the clocks on your systems very accurately, to within 100ms and sometimes-even 10ms. Knowing the exact time is extremely important for enterprise security. Various security protocols depend on an accurate source of time information in order to prevent "playback" attacks. These protocols tag their communications with the current time, to prevent attackers from replaying the same communications, e.g., a login/password interaction or even an entire communication, at a later date. One can circumvent this tagging, if the clock can be set back to the time the communication was recorded. An attacker attempts to try corrupting the clocks on devices on your network. You run Wireshark to detect the NTP traffic to see if there are any irregularities on the network. What port number you should enable in Wireshark display filter to view NTP packets?
A. TCP Port 124
B. UDP Port 125
C. UDP Port 123
D. TCP Port 126
Answer: C
Q341. In the following example, which of these is the "exploit"?
Today, Microsoft Corporation released a security notice. It detailed how a person could bring down the Windows 2003 Server operating system, by sending malformed packets to it. They detailed how this malicious process had been automated using basic scripting. Even worse, the new automated method for bringing down the server has already been used to perform denial of service attacks on many large commercial websites.
Select the best answer.
A. Microsoft Corporation is the exploit.
B. The security "hole" in the product is the exploit.
C. Windows 2003 Server
D. The exploit is the hacker that would use this vulnerability.
E. The documented method of how to use the vulnerability to gain unprivileged access.
Answer: E
Explanations:
Microsoft is not the exploit, but if Microsoft documents how the vulnerability can be used to gain unprivileged access, they are creating the exploit. If they just say that there is a hole in the product, then it is only a vulnerability. The security "hole" in the product is called the "vulnerability". It is documented in a way that shows how to use the vulnerability to gain unprivileged access, and it then becomes an "exploit". In the example given, Windows 2003 Server is the TOE (Target of Evaluation). A TOE is an IT System, product or component that requires security evaluation or is being identified. The hacker that would use this vulnerability is exploiting it, but the hacker is not the exploit. The documented method of how to use the vulnerability to gain unprivileged access is the correct answer.
Q342. Neil monitors his firewall rules and log files closely on a regular basis. Some of the users have complained to Neil that there are a few employees who are visiting offensive web sites during work hours, without consideration for others. Neil knows that he has an updated content filtering system and that such access should not be authorized.
What type of technique might be used by these offenders to access the Internet without restriction?
A. They are using UDP which is always authorized at the firewall.
B. They are using tunneling software which allows them to communicate with protocols in a way it was not intended.
C. They have been able to compromise the firewall, modify the rules, and give themselves proper access.
D. They are using an older version of Internet Explorer that allows them to bypass the proxy server.
Answer: B
Explanation: This can be accomplished by, for example, tunneling the http traffic over SSH if you have a SSH server answering to your connection, you enable dynamic forwarding in the ssh client and configure Internet Explorer to use a SOCKS Proxy for network traffic.
Q343. What sequence of packets is sent during the initial TCP three-way handshake?
A. SYN, URG, ACK
B. FIN, FIN-ACK, ACK
C. SYN, ACK, SYN-ACK
D. SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK
Answer: D
Explanation: This is referred to as a "three way handshake." The "SYN" flags are requests by the TCP stack at one end of a socket to synchronize themselves to the sequence numbering for this new sessions. The ACK flags acknowlege earlier packets in this session. Obviously only the initial packet has no ACK flag, since there are no previous packets to acknowlege. Only the second packet (the first response from a server to a client) has both the SYN and the ACK bits set.
Q344. John has performed a scan of the web server with NMAP but did not gather enough information to accurately identify which operating system is running on the remote host. How could you use a web server to help in identifying the OS that is being used?
A. Telnet to an Open port and grab the banner
B. Connect to the web server with an FTP client
C. Connect to the web server with a browser and look at the web page
D. Telnet to port 8080 on the web server and look at the default page code
Answer: A
Explanation: Most Web servers politely identify themselves and the OS to anyone who asks.
Q345. Derek has stumbled upon a wireless network and wants to assess its security. However, he does not find enough traffic for a good capture. He intends to use AirSnort on the captured traffic to crack the WEP key and does not know the IP address range or the AP. How can he generate traffic on the network so that he can capture enough packets to crack the WEP key?
A. Use any ARP requests found in the capture
B. Derek can use a session replay on the packets captured
C. Derek can use KisMAC as it needs two USB devices to generate traffic
D. Use Ettercap to discover the gateway and ICMP ping flood tool to generate traffic
Answer: D
Explanation: By forcing the network to answer to a lot of ICMP messages you can gather enough packets to crack the WEP key.
