The SecOps Group CNSP Exam - Topic 11 Question 14 Discussion

Actual exam question for The SecOps Group's CNSP exam
Question #: 14
Topic #: 11
[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.

I think the answer might be D) All of the above, since they all seem related to bypassing security measures.

I feel like all of these methods could potentially be used, but I need to double-check my notes on DNS tunneling.

I remember practicing a question about covert channels, but I can't recall if they are specifically for bypassing segmentation.

I think VLAN hopping is definitely one of the techniques, but I'm not sure about the others.

Okay, let me review the options carefully. I think I can eliminate a few and narrow it down to the best answer.

Ugh, I'm not sure about this. I know DNS tunneling and covert channels can be used, but I'm not 100% on VLAN hopping. Might need to guess on this one.
