Eccouncil ECSAv10 Exam - Topic 8 Question 56 Discussion

Actual exam question for Eccouncil's ECSAv10 exam

Question #: 56
Topic #: 8

In a virtual test environment, Michael is testing the strength and security of BGP using multiple routers to mimic the backbone of the Internet. This project will help him write his doctoral thesis on "bringing down the Internet".

Without sniffing the traffic between the routers, Michael sends millions of RESET packets to the routers in an attempt to shut one or all of them down. After a few hours, one of the routers finally shuts itself down.

What will the other routers communicate between themselves?

AMore RESET packets to the affected router to get it to power back up

BRESTART packets to the affected router to get it to power back up

CThe change in the routing fabric to bypass the affected router

DSTOP packets to all other routers warning of where the attack originated

I agree with C, but isn't it surprising how long it took for one to shut down?

More RESET packets? That doesn't make sense at all.

Wait, can RESET packets even bring a router back up? Sounds off.

Definitely C! That's how BGP works.

I think they'll just reroute traffic around the downed router.

I thought they might send STOP packets, but that seems a bit off. I guess they would need to reroute traffic instead.

I feel like the routers would communicate a change in the routing fabric, but I can't recall the exact terminology used in class.

This reminds me of a practice question about BGP convergence. I think the other routers would adjust their routes instead of sending packets to the downed router.

I remember studying how BGP handles router failures, but I'm not sure if they send RESET or something else.

Okay, I think I've got it. The answer is C - Debugger. It's a tool that developers use to maintain and debug their code, but hackers can also use it to maintain control of a compromised system. Nice one, I like these types of questions that make you think.

This is a tricky one, but I think I can figure it out. I'll start by breaking down the different phases of Discovery and then consider how the MID Servers would be utilized in each phase based on the given scenario. Gotta stay focused and not overthink it.

Okay, let's see. If the server sends an unexpected response, that probably means it's not working as expected. So the member status should be offline, right?

Hmm, the lack of a clear OS identification makes me think this could be a hardened or well-secured system. I'll need to consider the implications of that in my analysis.
