Cybersecurity Threats and Prevention

The video tutorial covers keylogging, logic bombs, and rootkits, explaining how these types of malware operate and the risks they pose. Keylogging captures keystrokes to steal sensitive information, while logic bombs trigger destructive actions based on specific events. Rootkits hide within the operating system, making them hard to detect. The tutorial also discusses protective measures like encryption, monitoring, and secure boot to mitigate these threats.

What is the primary purpose of keylogging software?

• To improve typing speed

• To protect against malware

• To capture keystrokes and sensitive information

• To encrypt data on your computer

Which of the following is NOT a capability of keylogging software?

• Capturing clipboard data

• Taking screenshots

• Encrypting files

• Logging search queries

What is Dark Comet?

• A type of antivirus software

• A remote access trojan

• A firewall application

• A password manager

What triggers a logic bomb to activate?

• A specific date and time

• A software update

• A system reboot

• An antivirus scan

In the 2013 South Korea attack, what was the result of the logic bomb activation?

• Systems were backed up

• Data was deleted and systems rebooted

• Systems were upgraded

• Data was encrypted

Why are logic bombs difficult to detect?

• They are always encrypted

• They have no known antivirus signatures

• They are part of the operating system

• They are visible in task managers

Which of the following is NOT a recommended practice to prevent logic bombs?

• Limiting user permissions

• Monitoring critical files

• Running all users as administrators

• Implementing change control processes

What is a rootkit primarily designed to do?

• Encrypt user data

• Enhance system performance

• Hide within the operating system

• Provide system updates

How does secure boot help in combating rootkits?

• By encrypting all system files

• By disabling internet access

• By verifying the operating system signature

• By updating antivirus definitions

What is the main challenge in detecting rootkits?

• They require internet access

• They run as part of the operating system

• They are always encrypted

• They are visible in task managers
