Wait, is 10.10.245.3389 even a valid IP?

I thought admin boxes could connect to anything as long as it's secure?

Shouldn't be any connections to external mail servers from admin boxes.

I’m confused about the ports. I think option D could be problematic too, but I’m not sure if it’s the most dangerous one.

I practiced a similar question where we had to identify risky connections. I feel like option C might be the right answer since it involves a firewall.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about avoiding unnecessary connections from admin boxes. Could it be option A with that weird IP?

I think the connection that shouldn't exist is related to external services, like the mail server. Maybe option B?

I've got a strategy for this. I'll consider the types of connections that should be limited or restricted from the admin box, and then identify the one that stands out.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to review the CIS Controls and think about the purpose of the admin box to make the right call.

Okay, I see the options here. I'll need to carefully evaluate each one to determine which one doesn't align with the recommendations for the admin box.

Hmm, let me think this through. The admin box is for administrative tasks, so I need to consider which connection would be inappropriate or risky.

I think option D) 10.10.10.33.443 should not exist, as it is a non-standard port for HTTPS

I agree with Desmond, because RDP connections should not be allowed from the admin host

Wait, is Kenya's admin box connected to the firewall through a secret tunnel? That's some Mission: Impossible level stuff right there!

D) 10.10.10.33.443 - HTTPS? Meh, could be okay, but I'd double-check that host and port just in case.

C) Firewall_charon.jane.org.22 - SSH to the firewall? Sounds about right, that's probably needed for admin tasks.
