EC-COUNCIL EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA) v9 - 412-79v9 Exam Practice Test

Which of the following appendices gives detailed lists of all the technical terms used in the report?

During external penetration testing, which of the following techniques uses tools like Nmap to predict the sequence numbers generated by the targeted server and use this information to perform session hijacking techniques?

Hackers today have an ever-increasing list of weaknesses in the web application structure at their disposal, which they can exploit to accomplish a wide variety of malicious tasks.

New flaws in web application security measures are constantly being researched, both by hackers and by security professionals. Most of these flaws affect all dynamic web applications whilst others are dependent on specific application technologies. In both cases, one may observe how the evolution and refinement of web technologies also brings about new exploits which compromise sensitive databases, provide access to theoretically secure networks, and pose a threat to the daily operation of online businesses.
What is the biggest threat to Web 2.0 technologies?

Which one of the following tools of trade is an automated, comprehensive penetration testing product for assessing the specific information security threats to an organization?

Nessus can test a server or a network for DoS vulnerabilities. Which one of the following script tries to kill a service?

A wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) monitors the radio spectrum for the presence of unauthorized, rogue access points and the use of wireless attack tools. The system monitors the radio spectrum used by wireless LANs, and immediately alerts a systems administrator whenever a rogue access point is detected.
Conventionally it is achieved by comparing the MAC address of the participating wireless devices.
Which of the following attacks can be detected with the help of wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS)?

Which one of the following log analysis tools is a Cisco Router Log Format log analyzer and it parses logs, imports them into a SQL database (or its own built-in database), aggregates them, and generates the dynamically filtered reports, all through a web interface?

Transmission control protocol accepts data from a data stream, divides it into chunks, and adds a TCP header creating a TCP segment.
The TCP header is the first 24 bytes of a TCP segment that contains the parameters and state of an end-to-end TCP socket. It is used to track the state of communication between two TCP endpoints.
For a connection to be established or initialized, the two hosts must synchronize. The synchronization requires each side to send its own initial sequence number and to receive a confirmation of exchange in an acknowledgment (ACK) from the other side
The below diagram shows the TCP Header format:

How many bits is a acknowledgement number?

Due to illegal inputs, various types of TCP stacks respond in a different manner. Some
IDSs do not take into account the TCP protocol's urgency feature, which could allow testers to evade the IDS.

Penetration tester needs to try different combinations of TCP flags (e.g. none, SYN/FIN,
SYN/RST, SYN/FIN/ACK, SYN/RST/ACK, and All Flags) to test the IDS.
Which of the following TCP flag combinations combines the problem of initiation, midstream, and termination flags with the PSH and URG?

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) messages occur in many situations, such as whenever a datagram cannot reach the destination or the gateway does not have the buffering capacity to forward a datagram. Each ICMP message contains three fields: type, code, and checksum. Different types of Internet Control Message Protocols (ICMPs) are identified by a TYPE field. If the destination is not reachable, which one of the following are generated?

Software firewalls work at which layer of the OSI model?

Which of the following acts related to information security in the US establish that the management of an organization is responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate internal control structure and procedures for financial reporting?
