[All CPEH-001 Questions]

A specific site received 91 ICMP_ECHO packets within 90 minutes from 47 different sites. 77 of the ICMP_ECHO packets had an ICMP ID:39612 and Seq:57072. 13 of the ICMP_ECHO packets had an ICMP ID:0 and Seq:0. What can you infer from this information?

Suggested Answer: B

Firewalking uses a traceroute-like IP packet analysis to determine whether or not a particular packet can pass from the attacker's host to a destination host through a packet-filtering device. This technique can be used to map 'open' or 'pass through' ports on a gateway. More over, it can determine whether packets with various control information can pass through a given gateway.

Hmm, I think the answer is B. The ICMP ID and Seq numbers seem too precise to be set by an operating system. This is likely the work of a tool.

I agree with option D, as the 13 packets with ICMP ID 0 and Seq 0 were probably from an external network behind a NAT.

I believe the ICMP ID and Seq numbers were most likely set by a tool and not by the operating system.

I think the packets were sent by a worm spoofing the IP addresses of infected sites.
