An outside consultant performed an audit of the Municipal House of
Pancakes network. She identified a legacy protocol being used to access
browser-based interfaces on switches and routers within the network. She
recommended replacing the legacy protocol with a secure protocol to access
these network devices using the same interface. Which of the following
protocols should be implemented?
The newest fully supported version of SSL
The newest fully supported version of TLS
The newest fully supported version of LDAPS
The newest fully supported version of SNMP
Your organization’s security policy requires that confidential data
transferred over the internal network must be encrypted. Which of the
following protocols would BEST meet this requirement?
FTP
SSH
SNMPv3
SRTP
Maggie needs to collect network device configuration information and
network statistics from devices on the network. She wants to protect the
confidentiality of credentials used to connect to these devices. Which of the
following protocols would BEST meet this need?
SSH
FTPS
SNMPv3
TLS
You are trying to determine what information attackers can gain about
your organization using network reconnaissance methods via the Internet.
Using a public wireless hot spot, you issue the following command:
nslookup -querytype=mx gcgapremium.com
You then see these results:
Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
gcgapremium.com MX preference = 90, mail exchanger =
gcgapremium.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger =
What does this tell you?
10.0.0.1 is the IP address of the primary mail server.
gcgapremium.com is unknown to DNS.
The mx1.emailsrvr.com is a backup mail server.
The MX servers are showing too much information to the public.
Administrators are configuring a server within your organization’s
screened subnet. This server will have the following capabilities when it is
fully configured:
1) It will use RRSIG.
2) It will perform authenticated requests for A records.
3) It will perform authenticated requests for AAAA records.
What BEST identifies the capabilities of this server?
SSH
SNMPv3
S/MIME
DNSSEC
Maggie regularly connects to a remote server named gcga using Secure
Shell (ssh) from her Linux system. However, she has trouble remembering
the password, and she wants to avoid using it without sacrificing security.
She creates a cryptographic key pair to use instead. Which of the following
commands is the BEST choice to use after creating the key pair?
ssh-copy-id -i ~.ssh/id_rsa.pub maggie@gcga
chmod 644 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
ssh-keygen -t rsa
ssh root@gcga
You are tasked with enabling NTP on some servers within your
organization’s screened subnet. Which of the following use cases are you
MOST likely supporting with this action?
Encrypting voice and video transmissions
Providing time synchronization
Enabling email usage
Encrypting data-in-transit
Your organization has several switches in use throughout the internal
network. Management wants to implement a security control to prevent
unauthorized access to these switches within the network. Which of the
following choices would BEST meet this need?
Disable unused ports.
Disable STP.
Enable SSH.
Enable DHCP.
Network administrators manage network devices remotely. However, a
recent security audit discovered they are using a protocol that allows them
to send credentials over the network in cleartext. Which of the following
methods should be adopted to eliminate this vulnerability?
Use SNMPv2c.
Use SSH.
Use SSL.
Use SFTP.
Which of the following devices would MOST likely have the following
entries used to define its operation?
permit IP any any eq 80
permit IP any any eq 443
deny IP any any
Firewall
Proxy server
Web server
Jump server
Your organization’s network looks like the following graphic, and you’ve been asked to verify that Firewall 1 has the correct settings. All firewalls should enforce the following requirements:
1) Use only secure protocols for remote management.
2) Block cleartext web traffic.
You’re asked to verify the rules are configured correctly. Which rule, if any,
should be changed to ensure Firewall 1 meets the stated requirements?
HTTPS Outbound
HTTP Outbound
DNS
SSH
None. All rules are correct.
The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant has several stand-alone computers
used for monitoring. Employees log on to these computers using a local
account to verify proper operation of various processes. The CIO of the
organization has mandated that these computers cannot be connected to the
organization’s network or have access to the Internet. Which of the
following would BEST meet this requirement?
Air gap the computers.
Place the computers in a screened subnet.
Create a separate isolated network for these computers.
Place the computers within a VLAN.
You have added another router in your network. This router provides a
path to a limited access network that isn’t advertised. However, a network
administrator needs to access this network regularly. Which of the
following could he do to configure his computer to access this limited
network?
Implement QoS technologies.
Add a VLAN.
Use the route command.
Open additional ports on the router.
Several servers in your organization’s screened subnet were recently
attacked. After analyzing the logs, you discover that many of these attacks
used TCP, but the packets were not part of an established TCP session.
Which of the following devices would provide the BEST solution to
prevent these attacks in the future?
Stateless firewall
Stateful firewall
Network firewall
Web application firewall
Your network currently has a dedicated firewall protecting access to a
web server. It is currently configured with only the following two rules in
the ACL:
PERMIT TCP ANY ANY 443
PERMIT TCP ANY ANY 80
You have detected DNS requests and DNS zone transfer requests coming
through the firewall and you need to block them. Which of the following
would meet this goal? (Select TWO. Each answer is a full solution.)
Add the following rule to the firewall: DENY TCP ALL ALL 53.
Add the following rule to the firewall: DENY UDP ALL ALL 53.
Add the following rule to the firewall: DENY TCP ALL ALL 25.
Add the following rule to the firewall: DENY IP ALL ALL 53.
Add an implicit deny rule at the end of the ACL.
