GAQM CPEH-001 Exam - Topic 7 Question 54 Discussion

Steven the hacker realizes that the network administrator of XYZ is using syskey to protect organization resources in the Windows 2000 Server. Syskey independently encrypts the hashes so that physical access to the server, tapes, or ERDs is only first step to cracking the passwords. Steven must break through the encryption used by syskey before he can attempt to brute force dictionary attacks on the hashes. Steven runs a program called ''SysCracker'' targeting the Windows 2000 Server machine in attempting to crack the hash used by Syskey. He needs to configure the encryption level before he can launch attach. How many bits does Syskey use for encryption?
D) 128 bit
A) 40 bit
B) 64 bit
C) 256 bit

Really? 128 bits? That seems a bit high for Windows 2000.

Totally agree, 128 bits is pretty standard for that time.

I believe Syskey actually uses 128 bits for encryption. I remember it being a key point in our discussions about Windows security.

I remember studying that Syskey was designed to enhance security, but I can't recall the exact bit length. Was it 64 bits?

I think Syskey uses 128-bit encryption, but I'm not entirely sure. It feels like a common number for security.

I practiced a similar question before, and I thought it was 40 bits, but that seems too low for modern standards.

I'm pretty sure co-insurance is a provision in property insurance, so I'll go with option A.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I remember learning about IVR servers, but I can't quite recall the specific protocol they use to communicate. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key points about BPEL processes acting as both the service and client in a synchronous web service interaction.
