Each question shows the correct answer and an explanation of why it is right
What does pivoting to an Event Search from a detection do?
According to theCrowdStrike Falcon Devices Add-on for Splunk Installation and Configuration Guide v3.1.5+, pivoting to an Event Search from a detection takes you to the raw Insight event data and provides you with a number of Event Actions1.Insight events are low-level events that are generated by the sensor for various activities, such as process executions, file writes, registry modifications, network connections, etc1.You can view these events in a table format and use various filters and fields to narrow down the results1.You can also select one or more events and perform various actions, such as show a process timeline, show a host timeline, show associated event data, show a +/- 10-minute window of events, etc1.These actions can help you investigate and analyze events more efficiently and effectively1.
You are notified by a third-party that a program may have redirected traffic to a malicious domain. Which Falcon page will assist you in searching for any domain request information related to this notice?
According to the [CrowdStrike website], the Investigate page is where you can search for and analyze various types of data collected by the Falcon platform, such as events, hosts, processes, hashes, domains, IPs, etc1.You can use various tools, such as Event Search, Host Search, Process Timeline, Hash Search, Bulk Domain Search, etc., to perform different types of searches and view the results in different ways1.If you want to search for any domain request information related to a notice from a third-party, you can use the Investigate page to do so1.For example, you can use the Bulk Domain Search tool to search for the malicious domain and see which hosts and processes communicated with it1.You can also use the Event Search tool to search for DNSRequest events that contain the malicious domain and see more details about the query and response1.
What is an advantage of using a Process Timeline?
According to theCrowdStrike Falcon Devices Add-on for Splunk Installation and Configuration Guide v3.1.5+, the Process Timeline tool allows you to view all cloudable events associated with a given process, such as process creation, network connections, file writes, registry modifications, etc2.You can also filter the events by various criteria, such as event type, timestamp range, file name, registry key, network destination, etc2.This is an advantage of using the Process Timeline tool because it allows you to focus on specific events that are relevant to your investigation2.
What information does the MITRE ATT&CK Framework provide?
According to the [MITRE ATT&CK website], MITRE ATT&CK is a knowledge base of adversary behaviors and techniques based on real-world observations. The knowledge base is organized into tactics and techniques, where tactics are the high-level goals of an adversary, such as initial access, persistence, lateral movement, etc., and techniques are the specific ways an adversary can achieve those goals, such as phishing, credential dumping, remote file copy, etc. The knowledge base also covers different platforms that adversaries target, such as Windows, Linux, Mac, Android, iOS, etc., and different phases of an adversary's lifecycle, such as reconnaissance, resource development, execution, command and control, etc.
The Bulk Domain Search tool contains Domain information along with which of the following?
According to theCrowdStrike Falcon Devices Add-on for Splunk Installation and Configuration Guide v3.1.5+, the Bulk Domain Search tool allows you to search for one or more domains and view a summary of information from Falcon events that contain those domains1.The summary includes the domain name, IP address, country, city, ISP, ASN, geolocation, hostname, sensor ID, OS, process name, command line, and organizational unit of the host that communicated with those domains1.This means that the tool contains domain information along with IP lookup information1.
Sensor Visibility Exclusion patterns are written in which syntax?
According to the [CrowdStrike Falcon Data Replicator (FDR) Add-on for Splunk Guide], Sensor Visibility Exclusions allow you to exclude files or directories from being monitored by the sensor. This can reduce the amount of data sent to the CrowdStrike Cloud and improve performance. Sensor Visibility Exclusion patterns are written in Glob Syntax, which is a simple pattern matching syntax that supports wildcards, such as *, ?, and . For example, you can use *.exe to exclude all files with .exe extension.
Which is TRUE regarding a file released from quarantine?
According to theCrowdStrike Falcon Data Replicator (FDR) Add-on for Splunk Guide, when you release a file from quarantine, you are restoring it to its original location and allowing it to execute on any host in your organization2.This action also removes the file from the quarantine list and deletes it from the CrowdStrike Cloud2.
