A company wants to deploy decoy systems alongside production systems in order to entice threat actors and to learn more about attackers. Which of the following BEST describes these systems?
A. DNS sinkholes
B. Hafieypots
C. Virtual machines
D. Neural networks
Correct Answer: B
Honeypots are decoy systems or resources intentionally set up by an organization to attract and monitor unauthorized users, attackers, or malware. These systems are isolated from the production network and have no legitimate purpose, making any activity on them highly suspicious. The primary goal of honeypots is to gather information about the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by attackers and to learn more about their motives and potential threats to the organization.
Question 11:
Which of the following cryptographic concepts would a security engineer utilize while implementing non-repudiation? (Select TWO)
A. Block cipher
B. Hashing
C. Private key
D. Perfect forward secrecy
E. Salting
F. Symmetric keys
Correct Answer: BC
Non-repudiation is the guarantee that no one can deny a transaction. The terminology of non-repudiation is frequently used for digital signatures and email messages. When a data hashing algorithm is combined with public/private keys, data origination authentication can be achieved. Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) ensures that an author cannot refute that they signed or encrypted a particular message once it has been sent, assuming the private key is secured.
B:
You can think of this as a digital fingerprint. You would take that fingerprint or create that hash when you first collect the data. And then you would verify that hash whenever you perform the analysis to make sure that nothing has changed in
the meantime. – Prof Messer
C:
A service that is used to provide assurance of the integrity and origin of data in such a way that the integrity and origin can be verified by a third party as having originated from a specific entity in possession of the private key of the claimed
signatory.

Question 12:
HOTSPOT
The security administrator has installed a new firewall which implements an implicit DENY policy by default. Click on the firewall and configure it to allow ONLY the following communication.
1.
The Accounting workstation can ONLY access the web server on the public network over the default HTTPS port. The accounting workstation should not access other networks.
2.
The HR workstation should be restricted to communicate with the Financial server ONLY, over the default SCP port
3.
The Admin workstation should ONLY be able to access the servers on the secure network over the default TFTP port.
Instructions: The firewall will process the rules in a top-down manner in order as a first match The port number must be typed in and only one port number can be entered per rule Type ANY for all ports. The original firewall configuration can
be reset at any time by pressing the reset button. Once you have met the simulation requirements, click save and then Done to submit.
Hot Area:
Correct Answer:
Implicit deny is the default security stance that says if you aren\’t specifically granted access or privileges for a resource, you’re denied access by default.
Rule #1 allows the Accounting workstation to ONLY access the web server on the public network over the default HTTPS port, which is TCP port 443.
Rule #2 allows the HR workstation to ONLY communicate with the Financial server over the default SCP port, which is TCP Port 22
Rule #3 and Rule #4 allow the Admin workstation to ONLY access the Financial and Purchasing servers located on the secure network over the default TFTP port, which is Port 69.

Question 13:
Which of the following controls is used to make an organization initially aware of a data compromise?
A. Protective
B. Preventative
C. Corrective
D. Detective
Correct Answer: D
Detective control identifies security events that have already occurred. Intrusion detection systems are detective controls.
=======================
Preventative Controls – acts to eliminate or reduce the likelihood that an attack can succeed. A preventative control operates before an attack can take place. They are comparing the configurations to a secure guideline to ensure no gaps.
Meaning they are pre-emptively hardening their systems against future attack vectors.
Corrective Controls – controls that remediate security issues that have already occurred. Restoring backups after a ransomware attack is an example of a corrective control.

Question 14:
A junior security analyst is conducting an analysis after passwords were changed on multiple accounts without users\’ interaction. The SIEM have multiple login entries with the following text:
suspicious event – user: scheduledtasks successfully authenticate on AD on abnormal time suspicious event – user: scheduledtasks failed to execute c:\weekly_checkups\amazing-3rdparty-domain-assessment.py suspicious event – user: scheduledtasks failed to execute c:\weekly_checkups\secureyourAD-3rdparty-compliance.sh suspicious event – user: scheduledtasks successfully executed c:\weekly_checkups\amazing-3rdparty-domain-assessment.py
Which of Ihe following is the MOST likely attack conducted on the environment?
A. Malicious script
B. Privilege escalation
C. Doman hijacking
D. DNS poisoning
Correct Answer: A
Definitely A: Malicious Scripts. Cos look at these: 1. weekly_checkups\secureyourAD-3rdparty-compliance.sh 2. scheduledtasks, and 3. amazing-3rdparty-domain-assessment. All those are definitely malicious names that results in password changes.
Question 15:
The spread of misinformation surrounding the outbreak of a novel virus on election day led to eligible voters choosing not to take the risk of going the polls. This is an example of:
A. prepending
B. An influence campaign
C. A watering-hole attack.
D. Intimidation.
E. Information elicitation.
Correct Answer: B
From Chapter 1 Social Engineering Techniques Influence campaigns involve the use of collected information and selective publication of material to key individuals in an attempt to alter perceptions and change people\’s minds on a topic. One can engage in an influence campaign against a single person, but the effect is limited. Influence campaigns are even more powerful when used in conjunction with social media to spread influence through influencer propagation. Influencers are people who have large followings of people who read what they post, and in many cases act in accordance or agreement. This results in an amplifying mechanism, where single pieces of disinformation can be rapidly spread and build a following across the Internet.
