[All 312-38 Questions]

Which of the following filters can be used to detect UDP scan attempts using Wireshark?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The correct filter to detect UDP scan attempts using Wireshark is not listed among the options provided. To detect UDP scan attempts, a Wireshark filter that targets UDP traffic specifically would be used, rather than an ICMP type and code filter. A common method to detect a UDP scan is to look for a large amount of UDP packets sent to different ports, which can be indicative of a scanning activity. The filter would typically include parameters that isolate UDP traffic, such asudp.portorudp.dstportcombined with a range or list of ports.

Wait, why would we use ICMP to detect a UDP scan? Shouldn't we be looking for UDP packets instead?

Haha, I bet the exam writer is trying to trick us with these options. A is the only logical choice here.

I think option C is the way to go. ICMP type 8 and 0 should catch the UDP scans.

The correct answer is A. ICMP type 3 code 3 is the way to detect UDP scan attempts.

I thought ICMP type 8 and 0 were for echo requests and replies, so they probably wouldn't help with UDP scans, right?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like A is definitely the most relevant option for detecting UDP scans.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about ICMP type 3 indicating unreachable errors, which could relate to UDP scans.

I think UDP scans might show up as ICMP unreachable messages, so maybe A is the right choice?

B seems like the best option, but I want to double-check the ICMP message types to be sure.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between UDP scans and other types of scans. I'll need to review that before answering.

C looks promising, since ICMP echo request/reply could be used to detect some types of scans.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'll need to think through the ICMP message types more carefully.

I think the answer is B, since UDP scans would trigger ICMP port unreachable messages.
