3This IDS defeating technique works by splitting a datagram (or packet) into multiple fragments and
the IDS will not spot the true nature of the fully assembled datagram. The datagram is not
reassembled until it reaches its final destination. It would be a processor-intensive task for IDS to
reassemble all fragments itself, and on a busy system the packet will slip through the IDS onto the
network. What is this technique called?- AA. IP Routing or Packet Dropping
- BB. IDS Spoofing or Session Assembly
- CC. IP Fragmentation or Session Splicing
- DD. IP Splicing or Packet Reassembly
4If a competitor wants to cause damage to your organization, steal critical secrets, or put you out of business, they just have to find a job opening, prepare someone to pass the interview, have that person hired, and they will be in the organization.

7Anonymizer sites access the Internet on your behalf, protecting your personal information from disclosure. An anonymizer protects all of your computer's identifying information while it surfs for
you, enabling you to remain at least one step removed from the sites you visit.
You can visit Web sites without allowing anyone to gather information on sites visited by you. Services that provide anonymity disable pop-up windows and cookies, and conceal visitor's IP address.
These services typically use a proxy server to process each HTTP request. When the user requests a Web page by clicking a hyperlink or typing a URL into their browser, the service retrieves and displays the information using its own server. The remote server (where the requested Web page resides) receives information on the anonymous Web surfing service in place of your information.
In which situations would you want to use anonymizer? (Select 3 answers)- AA. Increase your Web browsing bandwidth speed by using Anonymizer
- BB. To protect your privacy and Identity on the Internet
- CC. To bypass blocking applications that would prevent access to Web sites or parts of sites that you want to visit.
- DD. Post negative entries in blogs without revealing your IP identity

11TCP SYN Flood attack uses the three-way handshake mechanism.
1. An attacker at system A sends a SYN packet to victim at system B.
2. System B sends a SYN/ACK packet to victim A.
3. As a normal three-way handshake mechanism system A should send an ACK packet to system B, however, system A does not send an ACK packet to system B. In this case client B is waiting for an ACK packet from client A.
This status of client B is called _________________- AA. "half-closed"
- BB. "half open"
- CC. "full-open"
- DD. "xmas-open"
12Lori is a Certified Ethical Hacker as well as a Certified Hacking Forensics Investigator working as an IT security consultant. Lori has been hired on by Kiley Innovators, a large marketing firm that recently underwent a string of thefts and corporate espionage incidents. Lori is told that a rival marketing company came out with an exact duplicate product right before Kiley Innovators was about to release it. The executive team believes that an employee is leaking information to the rival company. Lori questions all employees, reviews server logs, and firewall logs; after which she finds nothing. Lori is then given permission to search through the corporate email system. She searches by email being sent to and sent from the rival marketing company.
She finds one employee that appears to be sending very large email to this other marketing company, even though they should have no reason to be communicating with them. Lori tracks
down the actual emails sent and upon opening them, only finds picture files attached to them. These files seem perfectly harmless, usually containing some kind of joke. Lori decides to use some special software to further examine the pictures and finds that each one had hidden text that was stored in each picture.

16You are the security administrator of Jaco Banking Systems located in Boston. You are setting up e-banking website (http://www.ejacobank.com) authentication system. Instead of issuing banking customer with a single password, you give them a printed list of 100 unique passwords. Each time the customer needs to log into the e-banking system website, the customer enters the next password on the list. If someone sees them type the password using shoulder surfing, MiTM or keyloggers, then no damage is done because the password will not be accepted a second time.
Once the list of 100 passwords is almost finished, the system automatically sends out a new password list by encrypted e-mail to the customer.
You are confident that this security implementation will protect the customer from password abuse.
Two months later, a group of hackers called "HackJihad" found a way to access the one-time password list issued to customers of Jaco Banking Systems. The hackers set up a fake website (http://www.e-jacobank.com) and used phishing attacks to direct ignorant customers to it. The fake website asked users for their e-banking username and password, and the next unused entry from their one-time password sheet. The hackers collected 200 customer's username/passwords this way. They transferred money from the customer's bank account to various offshore accounts.
Your decision of password policy implementation has cost the bank with USD 925, 000 to hackers. You immediately shut down the e-banking website while figuring out the next best security solution
What effective security solution will you recommend in this case?- AA. Implement Biometrics based password authentication system. Record the customers face image to the authentication database
- BB. Configure your firewall to block logon attempts of more than three wrong tries
- CC. Enable a complex password policy of 20 characters and ask the user to change the password immediately after they logon and do not store password histories
- DD. Implement RSA SecureID based authentication system
17More sophisticated IDSs look for common shellcode signatures. But even these systems can be bypassed, by using polymorphic shellcode. This is a technique common among virus writers ?it basically hides the true nature of the shellcode in different disguises.
How does a polymorphic shellcode work?- AA. They encrypt the shellcode by XORing values over the shellcode,using loader code to decrypt the shellcode,and then executing the decrypted shellcode
- BB. They convert the shellcode into Unicode,using loader to convert back to machine code then executing them
- CC. They reverse the working instructions into opposite order by masking the IDS signatures
- DD. They compress shellcode into normal instructions,uncompress the shellcode using loader code and then executing the shellcode
18SYN Flood is a DOS attack in which an attacker deliberately violates the three-way handshake and opens a large number of half-open TCP connections. The signature of attack for SYN Flood contains:

24Jason works in the sales and marketing department for a very large advertising agency located in Atlanta. Jason is working on a very important marketing campaign for his company's largest client. Before the project could be completed and implemented, a competing advertising company comes out with the exact same marketing materials and advertising, thus rendering all the work done for Jason's client unusable. Jason is questioned about this and says he has no idea how all the material ended up in the hands of a competitor.
Without any proof, Jason's company cannot do anything except move on. After working on another high profile client for about a month, all the marketing and sales material again ends up in the hands of another competitor and is released to the public before Jason's company can finish
the project. Once again, Jason says that he had nothing to do with it and does not know how this could have happened. Jason is given leave with pay until they can figure out what is going on.
Jason's supervisor decides to go through his email and finds a number of emails that were sent to the competitors that ended up with the marketing material.

31The SYN flood attack sends TCP connections requests faster than a machine can process them.
- Attacker creates a random source address for each packet
- SYN flag set in each packet is a request to open a new connection to the server from the spoofed IP address
- Victim responds to spoofed IP address,then waits for confirmation that never arrives (timeout wait is about 3 minutes)
- Victim's connection table fills up waiting for replies and ignores new connections
- Legitimate users are ignored and will not be able to access the server
How do you protect your network against SYN Flood attacks?- AA. SYN cookies. Instead of allocating a record,send a SYN-ACK with a carefully constructed sequence number generated as a hash of the clients IP address,port number,and other information. When the client responds with a normal ACK,that special sequence number will beincluded,which the server then verifies. Thus,the server first allocates memory on the third packet of the handshake,not the first.
- BB. RST cookies - The server sends a wrong SYN/ACK back to the client. The client should then generate a RST packet telling the server that something is wrong. At this point,the server knows the client is valid and will now accept incoming connections from that client normally
- CC. Check the incoming packet's IP address with the SPAM database on the Internet and enable the filter using ACLs at the Firewall
- DD. Stack Tweaking. TCP stacks can be tweaked in order to reduce the effect of SYN floods. Reduce the timeout before a stack frees up the memory allocated for a connection
- EE. Micro Blocks. Instead of allocating a complete connection,simply allocate a micro record of 16- bytes for the incoming SYN object
32What type of port scan is shown below?
- AA. Idle Scan
- BB. FIN Scan
- CC. XMAS Scan
- DD. Windows Scan

Stephanie is worried that her Internet activity might give her supervisor reason to write her up, or worse get her fired. Stephanie's daily work duties only consume about four hours of her time, so she usually spends the rest of the day surfing the web. Stephanie really enjoys surfing the Internet but definitely does not want to get fired for it.
What should Stephanie use so that she does not get in trouble for surfing the Internet?- AA. Stealth IE
- BB. Stealth Anonymizer
- CC. Stealth Firefox
- DD. Cookie Disabler
