Actual exam question for Eccouncil's ECSAv10 exam

Question #: 62
Topic #: 3

An external intrusion test and analysis identify security weaknesses and strengths of the client's systems and networks as they appear from outside the client's security perimeter, usually from the Internet.

The goal of an external intrusion test and analysis is to demonstrate the existence of known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an external attacker.

During external penetration testing, which of the following scanning techniques allow you to determine a port's state without making a full connection to the host?

AXMAS Scan

BSYN scan

CFIN Scan

DNULL Scan

Wait, can you really determine a port's state without a full connection? Sounds sketchy!

The FIN scan and NULL scan were also discussed in class, but I’m confused about their specific uses in this context.

I have a vague recollection of the XMAS scan, but I can't remember if it actually fits this scenario.

I think the SYN scan is the one that allows you to check the port state stealthily. It was mentioned in a practice question we did last week.

I remember studying the different scanning techniques, but I'm not entirely sure which one is best for determining a port's state without a full connection.

The question is asking about scanning techniques that don't require a full connection. I'm pretty sure the SYN scan is the right answer here.

Okay, let me review the information again. I think the FIN scan might be the best option, but I'm not 100% confident.

The key is to determine which scanning technique can identify a port's state without fully connecting to the host. I'm leaning towards the NULL scan.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Sending a detailed outline in the text message could work, but I'm not sure if that's the most appropriate approach for a confidential, urgent proposal.

Hmm, let me think this through. I know dimensions are the attributes we use to analyze the data, and measures are the numeric values we want to analyze. Okay, let's see - we have Year, Product Number, Country, and Order Number, so those seem like dimensions. And we have Sales Amount, which is the measure. So I'm going to go with option B, two dimensions and three measures.

XMAS Scan, huh? Sounds like a fun way to spread some holiday cheer while testing the security. Decking the halls with boughs of hacking, fa la la la la, la la la la!

Definitely not the kind of holiday cheer most people think of, but it's crucial for keeping systems secure. Gotta watch out for those vulnerabilities!

Yeah, it does sound festive, but it's actually a method to identify open ports without completing a full connection. It's important for security testing.

NULL Scan, all the way! It's like the ninja of scanning techniques - sneaky and silent. I bet it drives the firewall admins crazy trying to figure out what's happening.

SYN scan is the way to go! It's a classic technique that allows you to determine a port's state without making a full connection. Efficient and effective, just the way I like it.
