  1. Poe says:

    I think this should be port scanning. Cross Site Scripting XSS is injected client side via the web browser. With a proxy firewall in place you cannot scan what ports are open on a router as the proxy sits between the attacker and the router.

    Correct answer is:

    C. Port Scanning

    A firewall can stop access to the hosts be denying the ports that may be used to gain entry to your device.

    Cross-Site Scripting takes advantage of weaknesses within a web application to insert malicious code in to input fields on a web form.

      Hi Daneil, reading only dumps is not enough to pass the exam you need to read other official resources like the official exam reference book from Cisco and cbt nuggets which I recommend. Also it is important to do labs you can create your virtual lab using GNS3.
      The dump only gives you an idea about exam questions and what topics to focus on.
      Keep in mind all Cisco exams have a simulation question which is the most weighted one.
