What are the scanning techniques that are used to bypass firewall rules and logging
mechanisms and disguise themselves as usual network traffic?

Which of the following shields Internet users from artificial DNS data, such as a deceptive or
mischievous address instead of the genuine address that was requested?

A firewall protects networked computers from intentional hostile intrusion that could
compromise confidentiality or result in data corruption or denial of service. It examines all
traffic routed between the two networks to see if it meets certain criteria. If it does, it is routed
between the networks, otherwise it is stopped.

Why is an appliance-based firewall is more secure than those implemented on top of the
commercial operating system (Software based)?

A directory traversal (or path traversal) consists in exploiting insufficient security
validation/sanitization of user-supplied input file names, so that characters representing
“traverse to parent directory” are passed through to the file APIs. The goal of this attack is to
order an application to access a computer file that is not intended to be accessible. This
attack exploits a lack of security (the software is acting exactly as it is supposed to) as
opposed to exploiting a bug in the code.

To perform a directory traversal attack, which sequence does a pen tester need to follow to
manipulate variables of reference files?

During external penetration testing, which of the following techniques uses tools like Nmap
to predict the sequence numbers generated by the targeted server and use this information
to perform session hijacking techniques?

Which of the following acts related to information security in the US establish that the
management of an organization is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate
internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting?

Identify the data security measure which defines a principle or state that ensures that an
action or transaction cannot be denied.

One of the steps in information gathering is to run searches on a company using complex
keywords in Google.

Which search keywords would you use in the Google search engine to find all the
PowerPoint presentations containing information about a target company, ROCHESTON?

Which type of security policy applies to the below configuration?
i)Provides maximum security while allowing known, but necessary, dangers
ii)All services are blocked; nothing is allowed
iii)Safe and necessary services are enabled individually
iv)Non-essential services and procedures that cannot be made safe are NOT allowed
v)Everything is logged

Assessing a network from a hacker’s point of view to discover the exploits and vulnerabilities
that are accessible to the outside world is which sort of vulnerability assessment?
