Question #: 101
Topic #: 7

Web servers are often the most targeted and attacked hosts on organizations' networks. Attackers may exploit software bugs in the Web server, underlying operating system, or active content to gain unauthorized access.

Identify the correct statement related to the above Web Server installation?

ALack of proper security policy, procedures and maintenance

BBugs in server software, OS and web applications

CInstalling the server with default settings

DUnpatched security flaws in the server software, OS and applications

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

When a Nic is set to Promiscuous mode it just blindly takes whatever comes through to it network interface and sends it to the Application layer. This is why they are so hard to detect. Actually you could use ARP requests and Send them to every pc and the one which responds to all the requests can be identified as a NIC on Promiscuous mode and there are some very special programs that can do this for you. But considering the alternatives in the question the right answer has to be that the interface cannot be detected.

Haha, I bet the developers who wrote that web server software were napping on the job. They really dropped the ball on security, didn't they?

I agree, option D is definitely the correct answer here. Unpatched security flaws are a huge vulnerability that attackers love to exploit.
