What step of the malware infection installs the malware on the target?
The term 'Dropper' in cybersecurity refers to a small piece of software used in malware deployment that is designed to install or 'drop' malware (like viruses, ransomware, spyware) onto the target system.
The Dropper itself is not typically malicious in behavior; however, it is used as a vehicle to install malware that will perform malicious activities without detection.
During the infection process, the Dropper is usually the first executable that runs on a system. It then unpacks or downloads additional malicious components onto the system.

How many IPsec modes are there?
IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) primarily operates in two modes: Transport mode and Tunnel mode.
Transport mode: Encrypts only the payload of each packet, leaving the header untouched. This mode is typically used for end-to-end communication between two systems.
Tunnel mode: Encrypts both the payload and the header of each IP packet, which is then encapsulated into a new IP packet with a new header. Tunnel mode is often used for network-to-network communications (e.g., between two gateways) or between a remote client and a gateway.

'IPsec Modes of Operation,' by Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).
Which component of the IT Security Model is attacked with modification?
Modification attacks directly impact the integrity of data within the IT Security Model. Integrity ensures that information is accurate and unchanged from its original form unless altered by authorized means. An attack that involves modification manipulates data in unauthorized ways, thereby compromising its accuracy and reliability. Reference:
Shon Harris, 'CISSP Certification: All-in-One Exam Guide'.
The NIST SP 800-53 defines how many management controls?
NIST SP 800-53 is a publication that provides a catalog of security and privacy controls for federal information systems and organizations and promotes the development of secure and resilient federal information and information systems.
According to the NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5, the framework defines a comprehensive set of controls, which are divided into different families. Among these families, there are specifically nine families categorized under management controls. These include categories such as risk assessment, security planning, program management, and others.

Which of the hacking methodology steps can be used to identify the applications and vendors used?
OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) refers to the collection and analysis of information gathered from public, freely available sources to be used in an intelligence context. In the context of hacking methodologies, OSINT can be used to identify applications and vendors employed by a target organization by analyzing publicly available data such as websites, code repositories, social media, and other internet-facing resources.
