PRACTICE QUESTIONS
Question 1:
You work as an IT security professional in a multinational organization. Your company has recently implemented a policy to add a disclaimer to every email received from external domains to protect against potential cyber threats. Which approach should you use to comply with the policy?
A) Implementing typosquatting
B) Conducting a spear-phishing attack
C) Launching a whaling attack
D) Using a prefix to add a disclaimer
Explanation:
Answer - D
The correct answer is D. To comply with the company's policy of adding a disclaimer to every email received from external domains, you should use the approach known as prepending.
This approach involves adding a prefix to each email to include the required disclaimer or informational text.
Option A is incorrect. Typosquatting is a technique where attackers register domain names with spelling mistakes to mimic popular domain names like Google.com. This approach is not relevant to adding a disclaimer to emails.
Option B is incorrect. Spear-phishing is a type of social engineering attack that involves sending fraudulent emails to trick individuals into revealing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links. This approach is not relevant to adding a disclaimer to emails.
Option C is also incorrect. Whaling is a social engineering attack that targets high-profile individuals, such as executives or celebrities, to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information. This approach is not relevant to adding a disclaimer to emails.
Question 2:
As an IT security manager in a financial organization, you are concerned about the increasing number of phishing attacks targeting your employees. You decide to conduct an awareness training session to educate them about different types of phishing attacks. Which one of the following phishing scams uses a fake caller ID?
A) Vishing
B) Smishing
C) Whaling
D) Spear-phishing
Explanation:
Answer - A
The correct answer is A. Vishing is a type of phishing attack that involves using a phony caller ID to trick victims into revealing sensitive information over the phone. During this type of attack, the attacker typically poses as a trustworthy source, such as a bank or a government agency, to gain the victim's trust.
Option B is incorrect. Smishing is a type of phishing attack that uses text messages to lure victims into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments.
Option C is also incorrect. Whaling is a type of phishing attack that targets high-profile individuals, such as executives or celebrities, to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Option D is incorrect. Spear-phishing is a type of targeted phishing attack that aims to trick a specific individual or group of individuals into revealing sensitive information or clicking on malicious links.
Question 3:
As an IT security analyst in a company, you notice that files on the file server started to disappear two days after a senior network administrator left the company following an argument with the IT manager. What type of malware attack could have caused this issue?
A) Fileless malware
B) Worm
C) Trojan horse
D) Logic bomb
Explanation:
Answer - D
The correct answer is D. A logic bomb is a type of malware that is programmed to execute a specific set of actions when certain conditions are met. In this scenario, it's possible that the senior network administrator set up a logic bomb before leaving the company. The logic bomb could have been programmed to delete files from the file server when a specific condition, such as the rebooting of the server, was met.
Option A is incorrect. Fileless malware is a type of malware that operates in a computer's memory without leaving a file on the hard drive. It is not related to the deletion of files on a file server.
Option B is incorrect. A worm is a type of malware that is designed to replicate itself and spread across a network, infecting other computers as it goes. It does not typically cause data deletion or destruction.
Option C is also incorrect. A Trojan horse is a type of malware that is disguised as a legitimate program. It often provides a backdoor for the attacker to gain unauthorized access to the system or steal data. It does not typically cause data deletion or destruction.
Question 4:
As an IT security analyst, you want to assess the risk of an attacker attempting to bypass a password lockout. Which technique could a password lockout be gotten around by an attacker?
A) Dictionary attack
B) Password spraying
C) Brute-force attack
D) Rainbow table attack
Explanation:
Answer - B
The correct answer is B. Password spraying is a method of attacking multiple user accounts using the same password to try to bypass a password lockout. Unlike other methods, this technique uses only one password for each user account, which helps attackers evade detection and bypass account lockout policies.
Option A is incorrect. A dictionary attack is a type of attack where an attacker tries to compromise a user's account by using passwords derived from terms in a dictionary. However, this method does not allow attackers to bypass a password lockout since the account is automatically locked out after a specific number of failed logins.
