Eccouncil 212-89 Exam - Topic 1 Question 79 Discussion

Actual exam question for Eccouncil's 212-89 exam

Question #: 79
Topic #: 1

After a recent email attack, Harry is analyzing the incident to obtain important information related to the incident. While investigating the incident, he is trying to

extract information such as sender identity, mail server, sender's IP address, location, and so on.

Which of the following tools Harry must use to perform this task?

AClamwin

BLogly

CYesware

DSharp

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Yesware is a tool primarily known for its email tracking capabilities, which can be useful for sales, marketing, and customer relationship management. However, in the context of investigating email attacks and analyzing incidents to extract details such as sender identity, mail server, sender's IP address, and location, a more appropriate tool would be one that specializes in analyzing and extracting detailed header information from emails, providing insights into the path an email took across the internet. While Yesware can provide data related to email interactions, it might not offer the depth of forensic analysis required for incident investigation. Tools like email header analyzers, which are designed specifically for dissecting and interpreting email headers, would be more fitting. In the absence of a direct match from the given options, the description might imply a broader interpretation of tools like Yesware in context but traditionally, tools specifically designed for email forensics would be sought after for this task.

Definitely not Clamwin, that's for antivirus, not email forensics.

Hmm, I'm not familiar with Sharp. Clamwin is an antivirus tool, so that's probably not the right choice. Yesware is for email tracking, which doesn't seem relevant here. I think I'm going to go with Logly - it sounds like the most appropriate tool based on the question.

Okay, let's think this through. Harry needs to extract the sender's identity, mail server, IP address, and location. That sounds like the kind of information you'd get from a digital forensics tool, not a general email client. I'd go with Sharp for this task.

Harry should just ask the email provider for the details. Seems like a waste of time trying to figure it out on his own. But if I had to choose, I'd go with Option D, Sharp.
