Topic #: 1
[All PCCET Questions]

Which method is used to exploit vulnerabilities, services, and applications?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Attack communication traffic is usually hidden with various techniques and

tools, including:

Encryption with SSL, SSH (Secure Shell), or some other custom or proprietary encryption

Circumvention via proxies, remote access tools, or tunneling. In some instances, use of

cellular networks enables complete circumvention of the target network for attack C2 traffic.

Port evasion using network anonymizers or port hopping to traverse over any available open

ports

Fast Flux (or Dynamic DNS) to proxy through multiple infected endpoints or multiple,

ever-changing C2 servers to reroute traffic and make determination of the true destination

or attack source difficult

DNS tunneling is used for C2 communications and data infiltration

Wait, are we sure about this? I thought encryption was involved too.

Agreed, port scanning is the go-to for finding vulnerabilities.

Port evasion sounds kinda sketchy, not sure about that one.

I thought DNS tunneling was more common for that?

I practiced a question similar to this, and I believe port scanning was the method mentioned for finding weaknesses in applications.

Port evasion sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's specifically about exploiting vulnerabilities or just avoiding detection.

I remember studying DNS tunneling, but I don't think it's used for exploiting vulnerabilities directly.

I think port scanning is the right answer since it helps identify open services and vulnerabilities, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm not entirely sure about the correct answer here. I'll need to review the Azure Bastion documentation to make sure I understand the requirements.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to carefully review the options and think through the best approach. Maybe I'll start by checking the setup audit trail to see if there are any clues there.

I think I've got this. The coefficients for FB Video and FB Display are 0.4 and 0.3 respectively. For Week 2, the values are 50 and 40. So the attributed sales from Facebook would be 0.4 * 50 + 0.3 * 40 = 20 + 12 = 32.

Okay, I've got this. DevOps is all about rapid iteration and getting customer input quickly. That has to lead to better customer relations and a higher return on the IT investment. I'm confident I can nail this one.
