The SecOps Group Exam CNSP Topic 10 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for The SecOps Group's CNSP exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 10
[All CNSP Questions]

Which of the following techniques can be used to bypass network segmentation during infrastructure penetration testing?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Network segmentation isolates network zones for security, but certain techniques can circumvent these controls, a focus of CNSP penetration testing.

Why D is correct:

A: DNS tunneling encodes data in DNS queries, bypassing segmentation via legitimate DNS traffic.

B: VLAN hopping exploits switch misconfigurations (e.g., double tagging) to access other VLANs.

C: Covert channels use hidden communication paths (e.g., timing channels) to evade segmentation.

All are valid techniques per CNSP for testing segmentation controls.

Why other options are incomplete: A, B, or C alone exclude other viable methods, making D the comprehensive answer.

DNS tunneling sounds like a fun way to bypass the firewall. Might give that a try.

DNS tunneling can be risky, make sure you know what you're doing.

Covert channels, huh? I bet that's how the NSA spies on all of us.

But wouldn't using covert channels also help bypass network segmentation?

VLAN hopping, that's how I got into my neighbor's router last year. Good times!
