Bug Bounty Program Certification 5.1: About Network Internal Attack on Server

The video tutorial covers various network security threats, including network scanning, denial of service (DoS) and distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, buffer overflow attacks, and password cracking techniques. It explains the difference between internal and external attacks, providing examples and methods for exploiting network vulnerabilities. The tutorial also discusses the use of tools like Nessus for vulnerability scanning and highlights the importance of understanding these threats to protect network systems.

What is a buffer overflow attack?

• An attack that cracks passwords using a dictionary

• An attack that scans for vulnerabilities

• An attack that floods the network with traffic

• An attack that involves inserting more data than a system can handle

What distinguishes an internal attack from an external attack?

• External attacks target only servers

• Internal attacks are launched from outside the network

• Internal attacks originate from within the organization

• External attacks are always more harmful

What is the primary goal of a denial of service (DoS) attack?

• To steal sensitive data

• To consume all available bandwidth and disrupt communication

• To gain unauthorized access to a system

• To scan for network vulnerabilities

How does a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack differ from a DoS attack?

• DDoS attacks are less harmful

• DDoS attacks target only external networks

• DDoS attacks involve multiple attackers

• DDoS attacks are easier to prevent

Which protocol is commonly targeted by brute force attacks?

• SMTP

• FTP

• HTTP

• DNS

What tool is mentioned as a vulnerability scanner in the video?

• Wireshark

• Nessus

• Metasploit

• Nmap

What is the purpose of using a vulnerability scanner?

• To encrypt network traffic

• To identify and list vulnerabilities in a network

• To perform a denial of service attack

• To crack passwords
