A hacker has altered a user's 3-Way Handshake in order to gain access to their session.

Which security mechanism would intelligently deny this traffic?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B, E

To regain access to an Aruba CX switch when credentials are unknown or lost, one can press and hold the clear button, then power cycle the switch to reset the password. Additionally, using the boot profile 0 at the boot loader menu can be used to bypass the current startup configuration, which may include the unknown credentials.

Out-of-band management seems unrelated here, but I can't recall the exact role of stateful firewalls in session management.

I think the stateful firewall might be the right choice since it tracks the state of active connections, but I'm not entirely sure.

Access control lists might help, but I'm not sure they'd be as effective as a stateful firewall at identifying and blocking the hacked handshake.

I'm a bit confused - is a stateless firewall really a viable option for this scenario? That doesn't seem like it would be able to detect the altered handshake.

I've got this! The two additional metrics I should monitor are Backlogged Input Events and Watermark Delay. That will give me a good sense of any potential bottlenecks or delays in the data processing.
