An external intrusion test and analysis identify security weaknesses and strengths of the client's systems and networks as they appear from outside the client's security perimeter, usually from the Internet.
The goal of an external intrusion test and analysis is to demonstrate the existence of known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an external attacker.
During external penetration testing, which of the following scanning techniques allow you to determine a port’s state without making a full connection to the host?
Meyer Electronics Systems just recently had a number of laptops stolen out of their office. On these laptops contained sensitive corporate information regarding patents and company strategies.
A month after the laptops were stolen, a competing company was found to have just developed products that almost exactly duplicated products that Meyer produces.
What could have prevented this information from being stolen from the laptops?
After attending a CEH security seminar, you make a list of changes you would like to perform on your network to increase its security. One of the first things you change is to switch the Restrict Anonymous setting from 0 to 1 on your servers. This, as you were told, would prevent anonymous users from establishing a null session on the server.
Using User info tool mentioned at the seminar, you succeed in establishing a null session with one of the servers. Why is that?
Many security and compliance projects begin with a simple idea: assess the organization's risk, vulnerabilities, and breaches. Implementing an IT security risk assessment is critical to the overall security posture of any organization.
An effective security risk assessment can prevent breaches and reduce the impact of realized breaches.
What is the formula to calculate risk?
You are trying to locate Microsoft Outlook Web Access Default Portal using Google search on the Internet. What search string will you use to locate them?
The IP protocol was designed for use on a wide variety of transmission links. Although the maximum length of an IP datagram is 64K, most transmission links enforce a smaller maximum packet length limit, called a MTU.
The value of the MTU depends on the type of the transmission link. The design of IP accommodates MTU differences by allowing routers to fragment IP datagrams as necessary. The receiving station is responsible for reassembling the fragments back into the original full size IP datagram.
IP fragmentation involves breaking a datagram into a number of pieces that can be reassembled later. The IP source, destination, identification, total length, and fragment offset fields in the IP header, are used for IP fragmentation and reassembly.
The fragment offset is 13 bits and indicates where a fragment belongs in the original IP datagram. This value is a:
TCP/IP provides a broad range of communication protocols for the various applications on the network. The TCP/IP model has four layers with major protocols included within each layer. Which one of the following protocols is used to collect information from all the network devices?
What does ICMP Type 3/Code 13 mean?
Kimberly is studying to be an IT security analyst at a vocational school in her town. The school offers many different programming as well as networking languages. What networking protocol language should she learn that routers utilize?
The term social engineering is used to describe the various tricks used to fool people (employees, business partners, or customers) into voluntarily giving away information that would not normally be known to the general public.
What is the criminal practice of social engineering where an attacker uses the telephone system in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information?
