GAQM Exam CPEH-001 Topic 1 Question 106 Discussion

Actual exam question for GAQM's CPEH-001 exam
Question #: 106
Topic #: 1
[All CPEH-001 Questions]

A Trojan horse is a destructive program that masquerades as a benign application. The software initially appears to perform a desirable function for the user prior to installation and/or execution, but in addition to the expected function steals information or harms the system.

The challenge for an attacker is to send a convincing file attachment to the victim, which gets easily executed on the victim machine without raising any suspicion. Today's end users are quite knowledgeable about malwares and viruses. Instead of sending games and fun executables, Hackers today are quite successful in spreading the Trojans using Rogue security software. What is Rogue security software?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The order should be Passive information gathering, Network level discovery, Host scanning and Analysis of host scanning.

Rogue security software, huh? Sounds like the hackers are really upping their game. Tricking people into installing malware - that's some real 'Vogon poetry' level trickery right there.

Option B is the way to go. Fake AV software that actually installs spyware? That's the classic rogue security software trick. Sneaky, but good to know what to look out for.

Option B sounds like the correct answer. A fake AV program that installs malware instead of removing it? That's the definition of rogue security software alright. Gotta watch out for those clever hackers.
