Challenge 1 - Task 5 of 5
Authorize OCI Resources to Retrieve the Secret from the Vault
Scenario
You are working on a Python program running on a compute instance that needs to access an external service. To access the external service, the program needs credentials (password). Given that it is not a best security practice, you decide not to hard code the credential in the program. Instead, you store the password (secret) in a vault using the OCI Vault service. The requirement now is to authorize the compute instance so that the Python program can retrieve the password (secret) by making an API call to the OCI Vault.
Preconfigured
To complete this requirement, you are provided with:
Note: You are provided with access to an OCI Tenancy, an assigned compartment, and OCI credentials. Throughout your exam, ensure to use the assigned Compartment 99234021-C01 and Region us-ashburn-1.
Challenge 4 - Task 2 of 6
Configure Web Application Firewall to Protect Web Server Against XSS Attack
Scenario
You have to protect web applications hosted on OCI from cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. You can use the OCI Web Application Firewall (WAF) capabilities to create rules that compare against incoming requests to determine if the request contains an XSS attack payload. If a request is determined to be an attack, WAF should return the HTTP Service Unavailable (503) error.
To ensure that the configured WAF blocks the XSS attack, run the following script:Â [http:// /index.html? ) To complete this deployment, you have to perform the following tasks in the environment provisioned for you: Note:Â You are provided with access to an OCI Tenancy, an assigned compartment, and OCI credentials. Throughout your exam, ensure to use the assigned Compartment 99233424-C01 and Region us-ashburn-1. Complete the following task in the provisioned OCI environment: b. Enable Apache and start Apache server: c. Create a firewall rule to enable HTTP connection through port 80 and reload the firewall: d. Create an index file for your web server:

Challenge 3 - Task 2 of 4
Set Up a Bastion Host to Access the Compute Instance in a Private Subnet Scenario
A compute instance is provisioned in a private subnet that is not accessible through the Internet. To access the compute instance resource in a private subnet, you must provide a time-bound SSH session without deploying and maintaining a public subnet and a jump server, which eliminates the hassle and potential attack surface from remote access.
To complete this deployment, you have to perform the following tasks in the environment provisioned for you:
• Configure a Virtual Cloud Network (VCN) and a Private Subnet.
• Provision a Compute Instance in the private subnet and enable Bastion Plugin.
• Create a Bastion and Bastion session.
• Connect to a compute instance using Managed SSH session.
Note: You are provided with access to an OCI Tenancy, an assigned compartment, and OCI credentials. Throughout your exam, ensure to use the assigned Compartment 99233424-C01 and Region us-ashburn-1
Complete the following tasks in the provisioned OCI environment:
Â
Create a Compute Instance with the name PBT-BAS-VM-01, using the "Oracle Linux 8" image and shape "VM.Standard2.1", without SSH key and enable Bastion plugin.
