I went in strong on fundamentals but still got surprised by how often the questions tested reasoning about processes instead of definitions, and I passed once I started reviewing why each step exists. I wrote short summaries after each study session to connect tools, data sources, and response outcomes.

Incident Response Processes questions focus on the broader lifecycle, such as conducting post-incident reviews, calculating MTTD and MTTR, and defining communication plans and roles. Study incident metrics, RACI for response teams, and how lessons learned feed back into detection and prevention to tackle those higher-level problems.

The forensics techniques section was heavier than I expected, especially around collecting and analyzing artifacts without contaminating evidence, but building a repeatable checklist kept me consistent and I managed to pass. Doing a few full scenario runs helped more than rereading notes.

Forensic Processes questions frequently test chain of custody, proper imaging order, and legal admissibility, asking you to select the correct sequence or documentation entries for handling evidence. A colleague who passed recommended memorizing documentation fields, hashing procedures, and court-admissibility basics to avoid common traps.

Incident Response Techniques items are often scenario driven, forcing you to choose between containment, eradication, or recovery steps under ambiguous conditions and time pressure. Drill playbooks and decision criteria, and be comfortable justifying why a particular containment strategy is preferred based on risk and scope.

Forensics Techniques questions typically present artifact analysis tasks, like pulling indicators from a memory image or reconstructing user activity from file system metadata, sometimes with raw hex or TTL fields to interpret. Practice with Volatility and understand volatile versus nonvolatile artifacts, timestamp types, and hash verification so you can quickly extract and validate evidence.

Free Cisco 300-215 Exam Actual Questions

Note: Premium Questions for 300-215 were last updated On Oct. 10, 2026 (see below)

Question #1

Data has been exfiltrated and advertised for sale on the dark web. A web server shows:

Database unresponsiveness

PageFile.sys changes

Disk usage spikes with CPU spikes

High page faults

Which action should the IR team perform on the server?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: C

The combination of CPU spikes, disk usage peaks, and fluctuating PageFile.sys indicates excessive virtual memory paging, which may be a sign of malicious memory or file access behavior. PageFile.sys is part of the virtual memory system, and analyzing it can reveal which processes or payloads are consuming unusual amounts of memory, especially during exfiltration events.


Question #2

Refer to the exhibit.

According to the Wireshark output, what is the Indicator of Attack?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: D

The capture shows one source, 207.86.6.174, sending a rapid sequence of DNS queries to 205.94.14.222. The timestamps progress by roughly 0.04 seconds, producing dozens of requests in little more than one second. That unusually high request rate is the observable Indicator of Attack; the exhibit does not establish that the queried domains are malicious. Requesting several DNS record types can occur legitimately, so option B is descriptive but not the strongest attack indicator. Option A ignores the abnormal frequency. CBRFIR Forensics Processes objective 4.3 requires analysts to examine traffic associated with malicious activity using network-monitoring tools and Wireshark display analysis. The defensible conclusion must therefore remain tied to what the packet evidence directly proves: a DNS-query burst from a single host, which warrants correlation with baseline, endpoint, and threat-intelligence data. Cisco CBRFIR v1.2 exam topics

================


Question #3

A threat hunter must analyze the threat intelligence report on APT29 and identify whether the threat actor is on the Windows machines of the customer network. According to the report the user executes a malicious file on the victim machine that establishes a C? connection over port 53 Afterward, the attacker uses a CI.I to stage and exfiltrate business data. Which two types of logs enable the threat hunter to accomplish the task? (Choose two.)

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: B, E

Question #4

An incident responder reviews a log entry that shows a Microsoft Word process initiating an outbound network connection followed by PowerShell execution with obfuscated commands. Considering the machine's role in a sensitive data department, what is the most critical action for the responder to take next to analyze this output for potential indicators of compromise?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: C

When dealing with suspected malicious activity involving obfuscated PowerShell scripts---especially when launched from Microsoft Word documents---behavioral analysis is the most critical next step. This approach helps in determining if the process chain is part of a known attack pattern, such as a phishing attempt using malicious macros that launch PowerShell for data exfiltration or payload download.

As highlighted in the CyberOps Technologies (CBRFIR) 300-215 study guide, understanding behavior and deobfuscating PowerShell scripts is an essential part of the forensic and incident response process. Specifically:

During the detection and analysis phase, if PowerShell is used with obfuscated or encoded commands, responders should investigate the intent and behavior of the command.

Deobfuscation allows analysts to see what the script is doing (e.g., downloading files, creating persistence mechanisms, or opening a reverse shell).

The guide states:

''For example, if the threat is malware, the compromised system should be immediately isolated and the malware should be placed in a sandbox or a detonation chamber to understand what it is trying to do''.

This confirms that understanding execution behavior (such as what the PowerShell script intends to perform) is key to uncovering indicators of compromise (IoCs).

Thus, option C---conducting a behavioral analysis and deobfuscating PowerShell---is the most critical and effective response at this stage.


Question #5

Which scripts will search a log file for the IP address of 192.168.100.100 and create an output file named parsed_host.log while printing results to the console?

Reveal Solution Hide Solution
Correct Answer: B

To determine the correct script, we evaluate the following requirements:

The script must search for the IP address 192.168.100.100.

The output should be written to a file named parsed_host.log.

The matching lines should be printed to the console.

Analysis of the options:

Option A: Correct IP regex used and correct output filename, but reads from parsed_host.log instead of a source log file like test_log.log (not ideal for initial parsing).

Option C: The IP address used is 192.168.100.101 instead of 192.168.100.100 --- incorrect.

Option D: Same IP address and logic as Option B, but uses print statement without parentheses, which is not valid in Python 3 unless using Python 2 --- not ideal.

Option B:

Uses correct IP: '192.168.100.100'

Reads from test_log.log (presumably the source log file).

Writes to output/parsed_host.log.

Prints each matching line and writes to output file --- satisfying all conditions.
