To locate the firewall, SYN packet is crafted using Hping or any other packet crafter and sent to the firewall. If ICMP unreachable type 13 message (which is an admin prohibited packet) with a source IP address of the access control device is received, then it means which of the following type of firewall is in place?
The IP protocol was designed for use on a wide variety of transmission links. Although the maximum length of an IP datagram is 64K, most transmission links enforce a smaller maximum packet length limit, called a MTU.
The value of the MTU depends on the type of the transmission link. The design of IP accommodates MTU differences by allowing routers to fragment IP datagrams as necessary. The receiving station is responsible for reassembling the fragments back into the original full size IP datagram.
IP fragmentation involves breaking a datagram into a number of pieces that can be reassembled later. The IP source, destination, identification, total length, and fragment offset fields in the IP header, are used for IP fragmentation and reassembly.
The fragment offset is 13 bits and indicates where a fragment belongs in the original IP datagram. This value is a:
Security auditors determine the use of WAPs on their networks with Nessus vulnerability scanner which identifies the commonly used WAPs.
One of the plug-ins that the Nessus Vulnerability Scanner uses is ID #11026 and is named “Access Point Detectionâ€. This plug-in uses four techniques to identify the presence of a WAP.
Which one of the following techniques is mostly used for uploading new firmware images while upgrading the WAP device?
Which of the following approaches to vulnerability assessment relies on the administrator providing baseline of system configuration and then scanning continuously without incorporating any information found at the time of scanning?
Identify the framework that comprises of five levels to guide agency assessment of their security programs and assist in prioritizing efforts for improvement:
