The security administrator finds unauthorized tables and records, which were not present before, on a Linux
database server. The database server communicates only with one web server, which connects to the
database server via an account with SELECT only privileges. Web server logs show the following:
90.76.165.40 – – [08/Mar/2014:10:54:04] “GET calendar.php?create%20table%20hidden HTTP/1.1” 200 5724
90.76.165.40 – – [08/Mar/2014:10:54:05] “GET ../../../root/.bash_history HTTP/1.1” 200 5724
90.76.165.40 – – [08/Mar/2014:10:54:04] “GET index.php?user=<script>Create</script> HTTP/1.1” 200 5724
The security administrator also inspects the following file system locations on the database server using the
command ‘ls -al /root’
drwxrwxrwx 11 root root 4096 Sep 28 22:45 .
drwxr-xr-x 25 root root 4096 Mar 8 09:30 ..
-rws—— 25 root root 4096 Mar 8 09:30 .bash_history
-rw——- 25 root root 4096 Mar 8 09:30 .bash_history
-rw——- 25 root root 4096 Mar 8 09:30 .profile
-rw——- 25 root root 4096 Mar 8 09:30 .ssh
Which of the following attacks was used to compromise the database server and what can the security
administrator implement to detect such attacks in the future? (Select TWO).

A developer has implemented a piece of client-side JavaScript code to sanitize a user’s provided input to a web
page login screen. The code ensures that only the upper case and lower case letters are entered in the
username field, and that only a 6-digit PIN is entered in the password field. A security administrator is
concerned with the following web server log:
10.235.62.11 – – [02/Mar/2014:06:13:04] “GET /site/script.php?user=admin&pass=pass%20or%201=1
HTTP/1.1” 200 5724
Given this log, which of the following is the security administrator concerned with and which fix should be
implemented by the developer?

A security administrator wants to prevent sensitive data residing on corporate laptops and desktops from
