ISAM UNIT 3 LESSON 1a Quiz (Finals)

What is a primary goal of a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) attack?

• To encrypt communication

• To impersonate or eavesdrop on parties

• To strengthen communication between parties

• To provide a secure channel

What makes a session replay attack unique compared to other MITM attacks?

• It intercepts and alters messages immediately

• It copies a legitimate transmission and reuses it later

• It only affects browsers

• It doesn't involve interception

Which protocol does an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) poisoning attack exploit?

• DNS

• HTTP

• ARP

• TCP

In a DNS poisoning attack, which component is manipulated to redirect users to malicious sites?

• Host table on a local device

• IP protocol

• Layer 2 header

• URL of the legitimate site

A Man-in-the-Browser (MITB) attack is generally carried out using:

• A Trojan browser extension

• A DNS entry modification

• MAC cloning

• Layer 3 IP redirection

What is the main result of a MAC flooding attack?

• MAC addresses are deleted from the switch

• The switch enters a fail-open mode, broadcasting all frames to all ports

• The MAC address table becomes more secure

• DNS redirection occurs

What is the focus of an interception attack?

• To alter a DNS server

• To intercept and possibly modify network communications

• To flood the network with excess traffic

• To manipulate IP addresses

Which attack specifically targets the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model?

• DNS poisoning

• DDoS attack

• ARP poisoning

• Session replay attack

A Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack differs from a regular DoS attack because it:

• Involves a single attacker

• Uses multiple sources to flood a target

• Protects systems from overload

• Only affects small networks

Which of the following is often the goal of a DNS hijacking attack?

• To replace a session ID

• To capture data between a browser and a server

• To infect an external DNS server with malicious IP addresses

• To clone a MAC address
