The net view command in Windows is used to display a list of resources being shared on a computer. When used with a specific computer name or IP address, as in net view <10.10.10.11>, it displays the shared resources available on that particular computer1. Jessy’s objective in running this command was likely to review the file shares on the server with the IP address 10.10.10.11 to ensure that they are correctly purposed and not maliciously altered or added as part of the web attack.

This command does not verify users using open sessions, check file space usage, or check whether sessions have been opened with other systems. Instead, it specifically lists the shared resources, which can include file shares and printer shares, providing insight into what is being shared from the server in question. This information is crucial during a forensic investigation of a web attack to understand if and how the server’s shared resources were compromised or utilized by the attacker.

 A Trojan (short for “Trojan horse”) is one of the most insidious types of malware. Trojans disguise themselves as legitimate software programs, such as a game or utility, while secretly damaging the host device. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojans mainly use social engineering techniques to replicate themselves, fooling victims into downloading and installing them.

 Melanie discovered a logic flaw in the target web application that allowed her to view the source code. This flaw indicates a security misconfiguration, which can lead to further attacks. Security misconfigurations occur when an application or system is not properly configured, leaving it vulnerable to exploitation. References: EC-Council Certified Security Specialist (E|CSS) documents and study guide12.

This order correctly reflects the volatility of data from most volatile (disappears quickly) to least volatile (most persistent):

• Registers and processor cache: These contain the CPU's most immediate working data, changing rapidly.
• Routing table, process table, kernel statistics, and memory (RAM): These hold system state information, but can be modified by running processes or events.
• Temporary system files: Designed to be transient, but may persist for some time depending on usage patterns.
• Disk or other storage media: Holds data intended to persist, but is subject to modification.
• Remote logging and monitoring data related to the target system: Often stored off-site, less volatile than local data.
• Physical configuration and network topology: Relatively static information about the system's setup.
• Archival media: Designed for long-term storage, changes to this data are intentional and infrequent.

In the scenario described, Bob collected data that summarizes a conversation between two network devices. This type of data typically includes the source and destination IP addresses and ports, the duration of the conversation, and the information exchanged during the session. This aligns with the definition of session data, which is a type of network-based evidence that provides an overview of communication sessions between devices without including the actual content of the data packets.

References: The EC-Council Certified Security Specialist (E|CSS) materials cover various types of network-based evidence as part of the Network Defense, Ethical Hacking, and Digital Forensics modules. Session data is specifically discussed in the context of network security monitoring and analysis, where it is used to track and summarize network interactions.

The cloud computing threat described in the question arises from various vulnerabilities and misconfigurations related to authentication, user provisioning, hypervisors, and roles. Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker gains more privileges than initially acquired. In this context, it refers to unauthorized elevation of access rights within a cloud environment. The mentioned vulnerabilities contribute to this risk, allowing an attacker to escalate their privileges beyond what is intended. References: EC-Council Certified Security Specialist (E|CSS) documents and study guide12.

The scenario closely resembles the behavior of the Agent Smith malware campaign:

Daniel’s action of making a copy of computer programs while maintaining or repairing the system aligns with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). The DMCA allows for certain exemptions related to circumventing technological protection measures (TPMs) for purposes of maintenance or repair1. Specifically, section 117 of the U.S. Copyright Code permits the owner or lessee of a machine to make a copy of a computer program solely for maintenance or repair if certain conditions are met1. In this case, Daniel’s authorized copying falls within the scope of this provision. References: U.S. Copyright Code, Title 17, Section 1171.
