GAQM CPEH-001 Exam - Topic 7 Question 65 Discussion

Actual exam question for GAQM's CPEH-001 exam

Question #: 65
Topic #: 7

Eric has discovered a fantastic package of tools named Dsniff on the Internet. He has learnt to use these tools in his lab and is now ready for real world exploitation. He was able to effectively intercept communications between the two entities and establish credentials with both sides of the connections. The two remote ends of the communication never notice that Eric is relaying the information between the two. What would you call this attack?

I thought Dsniff was just for sniffing packets, not relaying!

Poisoning Attack sounds a bit off for this scenario.

Wait, are we sure it's not ARP Proxy?

Totally agree, it's classic MITM.

That's definitely a Man-in-the-middle attack.

I feel like I've seen something similar before, but I can't recall if it was specifically called a Poisoning Attack or something else.

This scenario definitely resembles a practice question we did on interception techniques. I think the answer is B, Man-in-the-middle.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it could also be related to ARP Proxy. I need to double-check that.

I remember studying about different types of attacks, and this sounds a lot like a Man-in-the-middle attack.

Okay, I've got a strategy for this. The key is to identify the enterprise role that is focused on aligning IT/technology decisions with the overall business strategy and keeping leadership informed. I think I know the right answer, but I'll double-check my reasoning.

I think the Application Insights Connector might be the way to go here. It's designed for monitoring and alerting on application issues, which sounds like what we need to trigger the ServiceNow ticket. But I'm not 100% certain, so I'll review the other options as well.

I think it might be about reassurance messages? There was a similar question about providing information during a call.

Okay, I've got a strategy here. The question is asking about the storage management portal, so I need to focus on the management features rather than the underlying storage types. "All types of cloud storage devices" seems like the most comprehensive answer.

I'm going with B) Man-in-the-middle. Eric's basically the third wheel in this scenario, except he's not bringing snacks, he's just stealing everyone's login credentials. Smooth move, Eric.

It's a classic attack where the attacker secretly intercepts and possibly alters the communication between two parties.

I agree, he's like a silent observer relaying information without anyone noticing.

Yeah, definitely B) Man-in-the-middle. Eric is sneaky intercepting those communications.

B) Man-in-the-middle is the way to go. Eric's using those Dsniff tools like a ninja, sneaking in between the two entities and intercepting their communications. It's like he's the middleman at a secret spy meeting.

I'm going with B) Man-in-the-middle as well. I mean, it's like Eric is the bouncer at a party, checking everyone's credentials and then letting them in. Except, you know, without the party and with a lot more hacking involved.

Definitely B) Man-in-the-middle. Eric is essentially inserting himself into the communication channel and acting as a proxy between the two parties. This is textbook MITM.

I think the correct answer is B) Man-in-the-middle. Eric is intercepting and relaying the communication between the two entities without their knowledge, which is a classic man-in-the-middle attack.
