Leverox Solutions hired Arnold, a security professional, for the threat intelligence process. Arnold collected information about specific threats against the organization. From this information, he retrieved contextual information about security events and incidents that helped him disclose potential risks and gain insight into attacker methodologies. He collected the information from sources such as humans, social media, and chat rooms as well as from events that resulted in cyberattacks. In this process, he also prepared a report that includes identified malicious activities, recommended courses of action, and warnings for emerging attacks. What is the type of threat intelligence collected by Arnold in the above scenario?

A.

Strategic threat intelligence

B.

Tactical threat intelligence

C.

Operational threat intelligence

D.

Technical threat intelligence

Suppose that you test an application for the SQL injection vulnerability. You know that the backend database

is based on Microsoft SQL Server. In the login/password form, you enter the following credentials:

Username: attack' or 1=1 -

Password: 123456

Based on the above credentials, which of the following SQL commands are you expecting to be executed by the server, if there is indeed an SQL injection vulnerability?

A.

select * from Users where UserName = ‘attack’ ’ or 1=1 -- and UserPassword = ‘123456’

B.

select * from Users where UserName = ‘attack’ or 1=1 -- and UserPassword = ‘123456’

C.

select * from Users where UserName = ‘attack or 1=1 -- and UserPassword = ‘123456’

D.

select * from Users where UserName = ‘attack’ or 1=1 --’ and UserPassword = ‘123456’

In the context of password security, a simple dictionary attack involves loading a dictionary file (a text file full of dictionary words) into a cracking application such as L0phtCrack or John the Ripper, and running it against user accounts located by the application. The larger the word and word fragment selection, the more effective the dictionary attack is. The brute force method is the most inclusive, although slow. It usually tries every possible letter and number combination in its automated exploration. If you would use both brute force and dictionary methods combined together to have variation of words, what would you call such an attack?

A.

Full Blown

B.

Thorough

C.

Hybrid

D.

BruteDics
