Correct Answer: A

security parameters. It mainly consists of three tools, which are as follows:

WeakIVGen: It allows a user to emulate the encryption output of 802.11 networks to weaken the secret key used to encrypt the

network traffic.

Prism-getIV: It analyzes packets of information until ultimately matching patterns to the one known to decrypt the secret key.

WEPcrack: It pulls the all beneficial data of WeakIVGen and Prism-getIV to decipher the network encryption.


Question No. 2

The SALES folder has a file named XFILE.DOC that contains critical information about your company. This folder resides on an NTFS volume.

The company's Senior Sales Manager asks you to provide security for that file. You make a backup of that file and keep it in a locked cupboard,

and then you deny access on the file for the Sales group. John, a member of the Sales group, accidentally deletes that file. You have verified

that John is not a member of any other group. Although you restore the file from backup, you are confused how John was able to delete the

file despite having no access to that file.

What is the most likely cause?

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A

Although NTFS provides access controls to individual files and folders, users can perform certain actions even if permissions are set on a file or

folder to prevent access. If a user has been denied access to any file and he has Full Control rights in the folder on which it resides, he will be

able to delete the file, as Full Control rights in the folder allow the user to delete the contents of the folder.

Answer C is incorrect. In the event of any permission conflict, the most restrictive one prevails. Moreover, the question clearly states

that John is not a member of any other group.

Answer D and B are incorrect. The Deny Access permission works on files.

Troubleshooting

Investigation

An IT audit is the process of collecting and evaluating records of an organization's information systems, practices, and operations. The

evaluation of records provides evidence to determine if the information systems are safeguarding assets, maintaining data integrity, and

operating effectively and efficiently enough to achieve the organization's goals or objectives. These reviews may be performed in conjunction

with a financial statement audit, internal audit, or other form of attestation engagement. Audit records are also used to troubleshoot system

issues.

Answer B and A are incorrect. The audit records cannot be used for backup and upgradation purposes.

Some of the specific tasks require additional detailed controls to ensure that the workers perform their job correctly. These controls refer to

some specific tasks or steps to be performed such as:

The way system security parameters are set.

How input data is verified before being accepted into an application.

How to lock a user account after unsuccessful logon attempts.

How the department handles acquisitions, security, delivery, implementation, and support of IS services.

Answer C is incorrect. Input data should be verified before being accepted into an application.


Question No. 5

You work as a Network Administrator for Net Perfect Inc. The company has a Windows-based network. You are concerned about the

vulnerabilities existing in the network of the company. Which of the following can be a cause for making the network vulnerable?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

Show Answer Hide Answer
Correct Answer: A, D

In computer security, the term vulnerability is a weakness which allows an attacker to reduce a system's Information Assurance. A computer

or a network can be vulnerable due to the following reasons:

Complexity: Large, complex systems increase the probability of flaws and unintended access points.

Familiarity: Using common, well-known code, software, operating systems, and/or hardware increases the probability an attacker has

or can find the knowledge and tools to exploit the flaw.

Connectivity: More physical connections, privileges, ports, protocols, and services and time each of those are accessible increase

vulnerability.

Password management flaws: The computer user uses weak passwords that could be discovered by brute force. The computer user

stores the password on the computer where a program can access it. Users re-use passwords between many programs and websites.

Fundamental operating system design flaws: The operating system designer chooses to enforce sub optimal policies on user/program

management. For example, operating systems with policies such as default permit grant every program and every user full access to

the entire computer. This operating system flaw allows viruses and malware to execute commands on behalf of the administrator.

Internet Website Browsing: Some Internet websites may contain harmful Spyware or Adware that can be installed automatically on

the computer systems. After visiting those websites, the computer systems become infected and personal information will be collected

and passed on to third party individuals.

Software bugs: The programmer leaves an exploitable bug in a software program. The software bug may allow an attacker to misuse

an application.

Unchecked user input: The program assumes that all user input is safe. Programs that do not check user input can allow unintended

direct execution of commands or SQL statements (known as Buffer overflows, SQL injection or other non-validated inputs).

Answer C and B are incorrect. Use of common software and common code can make a network vulnerable.
