Firewall and DMZ architectures are characterized according to its design. Which one of the following architectures is used when routers have better high-bandwidth data stream handling capacity?
Timing is an element of port-scanning that can catch one unaware. If scans are taking too long to complete or obvious ports are missing from the scan, various time parameters may need to be adjusted.
Which one of the following scanned timing options in NMAP’s scan is useful across slow WAN links or to hide the scan?
Hackers today have an ever-increasing list of weaknesses in the web application structure at their disposal, which they can exploit to accomplish a wide variety of malicious tasks.
New flaws in web application security measures are constantly being researched, both by hackers and by security professionals. Most of these flaws affect all dynamic web applications whilst others are dependent on specific application technologies.
In both cases, one may observe how the evolution and refinement of web technologies also brings about new exploits which compromise sensitive databases, provide access to theoretically secure networks, and pose a threat to the daily operation of online businesses.
What is the biggest threat to Web 2.0 technologies?
You work as an IT security auditor hired by a law firm in Boston to test whether you can gain access to sensitive information about the company clients. You have rummaged through their trash and found very little information.
You do not want to set off any alarms on their network, so you plan on performing passive foot printing against their Web servers. What tool should you use?
A penetration test will show you the vulnerabilities in the target system and the risks associated with it. An educated valuation of the risk will be performed so that the vulnerabilities can be reported as High/Medium/Low risk issues.
What are the two types of ‘white-box’ penetration testing?
When you are running a vulnerability scan on a network and the IDS cuts off your connection, what type of IDS is being used?
Which one of the following acts related to the information security in the US fix the responsibility of management for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting?
In the TCP/IP model, the transport layer is responsible for reliability and flow control from source to the destination. TCP provides the mechanism for flow control by allowing the sending and receiving hosts to communicate.
A flow control mechanism avoids the problem with a transmitting host overflowing the buffers in the receiving host.
