Topic #: 8

[All 312-38 Questions]

Which of the following Wireshark filters allows an administrator to detect SYN/FIN DDoS attempt on

the network?

Atcp.flags==0x003

Btcp.flags==0X029

CTCP.flags==0x300

Dtcp.dstport==7

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

According to NIST guidelines, the incident category that includes activities seeking to access or identify a federal agency computer, open ports, protocols, services, or any combination thereof for later exploitation is categorized as 'Scans/Probes/Attempted Access'. This category encompasses any unauthorized attempts to access systems, networks, or data, which may include scanning for vulnerabilities or probing to discover open ports and services.

C looks interesting, but I don't think it applies here.

Definitely A, I've used it before for DDoS analysis.

A is the correct filter for SYN/FIN detection.

I remember that tcp.dstport==7 is related to echo requests, so it can't be the answer for a DDoS attempt.

I feel like tcp.flags==0x003 might be the right choice, but I’m a bit confused about the hexadecimal values.

I practiced a similar question last week, and I think it was about identifying flags, but I can't recall the exact values.

I think I remember that SYN/FIN attacks involve specific TCP flag combinations, but I'm not sure which one it is.

I'm confident that option A is the correct Wireshark filter to detect a SYN/FIN DDoS attack. The TCP flags 0x003 match the SYN/FIN pattern we discussed in class.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to look for the TCP flags that indicate a SYN/FIN DDoS attempt. I think option A is the right answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the different TCP flag options. I'll need to review my notes on TCP flags and DDoS attacks to figure this out.

This looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the TCP flags and how to detect a SYN/FIN DDoS attack.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to double-check the TCP flag values and think through the DDoS detection logic. Gotta be careful on this exam question.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure here. I know we need to send the confirmation email, but I'm not sure if that should be part of the case configuration or a separate process. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This is a good question to test our understanding of the Database Upgrade Assistant. I'll need to think through each option carefully and make sure I select the two correct situations where this tool can be used.

I wonder if the answer is 'All of the Above' and we're just supposed to find the most relevant one. Nah, probably not. I'll go with option A and hope I don't get a trick question.

Wow, these options are really something. I bet the person who wrote this question was having a bit too much fun with the hex values. I'm sticking with option A, though. Gotta keep it simple, you know?

Ah, the good old tcp.dstport==7. Classic. But I don't think that's going to help me detect a SYN/FIN DDoS attack. I'll have to go with option A on this one.

Hmm, option B looks interesting, but I'm not sure if tcp.flags==0X029 is the right way to go. I better double-check the Wireshark documentation just to be safe.
