What is a common payload used for testing SQL Injection vulnerabilities?

• '; DROP TABLE users; -

• <script>alert('SQL Injection');</script>

• %27%20OR%201%3D1%20--

• SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'admin' AND password = 'password'

Which of the following best describes OS command injection?

• A method used to inject malicious code into a website's database

• A vulnerability that allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands on a server's operating system

• A technique for bypassing firewalls to gain unauthorized access to a network

• A security measure implemented to prevent buffer overflow attacks

Which file extensions pose potential risks if uploaded by users?

• .exe, .php, .bat

• .jpg, .png, .gif

• .txt, .pdf, .docx

• .html, .css, .js

Which of the following is not a protection against a brute force password attack?

• Implementing account lockout policies after a certain number of failed login attempts

• Using strong and complex passwords that are difficult to guess

• Employing multi-factor authentication to add an extra layer of security

• Regularly updating and patching software to address potential vulnerabilities

What is a possible consequence of Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks?

• Alteration of server-side database entries.

• Compromise of system files on the server.

• Elevation of user privileges within the application.

• Execution of malicious scripts within the victim's browser.

What is a potential risk associated with weak session IDs in web applications?

• Allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code on the server.

• Facilitating cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

• Enabling session hijacking and unauthorized access to user accounts.

• 
  All correct.

What is a characteristic of a race condition attack in computer security?

• Exploiting vulnerabilities in cryptographic algorithms.

• Manipulating timing or sequence of events to gain unauthorized access.

• Generating excessive network traffic to overwhelm system resources.

• Intercepting and decrypting encrypted communication between two parties.

What is the key difference between Local File Inclusion (LFI) and Remote File Inclusion (RFI)?

• LFI allows an attacker to include and execute files that are already present on the target system, while RFI allows the inclusion and execution of files hosted on remote servers.

• LFI occurs when an attacker injects malicious code into a website's input fields, while RFI involves exploiting vulnerabilities in server-side scripts to include external files.

• LFI relies on exploiting server misconfigurations, while RFI takes advantage of weaknesses in client-side authentication mechanisms.

• LFI targets web servers running specific operating systems, while RFI targets web applications built on specific programming languages.

What is a key aspect of Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attacks?

• Exploiting weaknesses in client-side authentication mechanisms.

• Leveraging vulnerabilities in server-side scripting languages.

• Intercepting and decrypting encrypted data transmitted between client and server.

• Manipulating requests sent by the server to access internal resources.

Which scenario best exemplifies Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)?

• A user unintentionally installs malware on their computer, allowing remote attackers to intercept their web traffic and manipulate their online interactions.

• A website administrator unknowingly inserts malicious code into their website's login form, enabling attackers to capture users' login credentials.

• An attacker crafts a malicious web page with embedded code that, when visited by the victim while logged into a social media platform, posts unauthorized content on the victim's profile.

• No correct answer.
