Bret is a web application administrator and has just read that there are a number of surprisingly
common web application vulnerabilities that can be exploited by unsophisticated attackers with
easily available tools on the Internet. He has also read that when an organization deploys a web
application, they invite the world to send HTTP requests. Attacks buried in these requests sail past
firewalls, filters, platform hardening, SSL, and IDS without notice because they are inside legal
HTTP requests. Bret is determined to weed out vulnerabilities.
What are some of the common vulnerabilities in web applications that he should be concerned
about?

Sandra has been actively scanning the client network on which she is doing a vulnerability
assessment test. While conducting a port scan she notices open ports in the range of 135 to 139.
What protocol is most likely to be listening on those ports?

What is War Dialing?

SNMP is a protocol used to query hosts, servers, and devices about performance or health status
data. This protocol has long been used by hackers to gather great amount of information about
remote hosts.
Which of the following features makes this possible? (Choose two)

Steven the hacker realizes the network administrator of Acme Corporation is using syskey in
Windows 2008 Server to protect his resources in the organization. Syskey independently encrypts
the hashes so that physical access to the server, tapes, or ERDs is only first step to cracking the
passwords. Steven must break through the encryption used by syskey before he can attempt to
use brute force dictionary attacks on the hashes. Steven runs a program called “SysCracker”
targeting the Windows 2008 Server machine in attempting to crack the hash used by Syskey. He
needs to configure the encryption level before he can launch the attack. How many bits does
Syskey use for encryption?

Bob is acknowledged as a hacker of repute and is popular among visitors of “underground” sites.
Bob is willing to share his knowledge with those who are willing to learn, and many have
expressed their interest in learning from him. However, this knowledge has a risk associated with
it, as it can be used for malevolent attacks as well.
In this context, what would be the most affective method to bridge the knowledge gap between the
“black” hats or crackers and the “white” hats or computer security professionals? (Choose the test
answer)

Bob waits near a secured door, holding a box. He waits until an employee walks up to the secured
door and uses the special card in order to access the restricted area of the target company. Just
as the employee opens the door, Bob walks up to the employee (still holding the box) and asks the
employee to hold the door open so that he can enter. What is the best way to undermine the social
engineering activity of tailgating?

Peter extracts the SIDs list from Windows 2000 Server machine using the hacking tool
“SIDExtractor”. Here is the output of the SIDs:

From the above list identify the user account with System Administrator privileges.

Ursula is a college student at a University in Amsterdam. Ursula originally went to college to study
engineering but later changed to marine biology after spending a month at sea with her friends.
These friends frequently go out to sea to follow and harass fishing fleets that illegally fish in foreign
waters. Ursula eventually wants to put companies practicing illegal fishing out of business. Ursula
decides to hack into the parent company’s computers and destroy critical data knowing fully well
that, if caught, she probably would be sent to jail for a very long time. What would Ursula be
considered?
