Which of the following type of physical security controls has Jacob implemented in the above scenario?



Answer : C

Jacob has implementeddeterrent controlsby using warning messages and signs to discourage hackers from attempting unauthorized intrusions.Deterrent controls aim to deter potential attackers by creating a visible deterrent effect, such as displaying signs indicating legal consequences or security measures1. These controls serve as a preventive measure by discouraging unauthorized access.Reference: EC-Council Certified Security Specialist (E|CSS) documents and course materials.


Question 2

A disk drive has 16.384 cylinders, 80 heads, and 63 sectors per track, and each sector can store 512 bytes of data. What is the total size of the disk?



Answer : B

Sectors per Cylinder: Multiply heads * sectors per track: 80 * 63 = 5040 sectors/cylinder

Bytes per Cylinder: Multiply sectors per cylinder * bytes per sector: 5040 * 512 = 2,580,480 bytes/cylinder

Total Bytes: Multiply bytes per cylinder * total cylinders: 2,580,480 * 16,384 = 42,278,584,320 bytes

Explanation

To find the total disk size, we need to calculate the storage capacity per cylinder and then multiply that by the total number of cylinders.


Question 3

Michael, a forensic expert, was assigned to investigate an incident that involved unauthorized intrusion attempts. In this process, Michael identified all the open ports on a system and disabled them because these open ports can allow attackers to install malicious services and compromise the security of the system or network.

Which of the following commands assisted Michael in identifying open ports in the above scenario?



Answer : B

Michael used thenetstatcommand with the-ioption to identify open ports on the system. The-iflag displays network interfaces and their statistics, including information about open ports. By analyzing this output, Michael could determine which ports were active and potentially vulnerable to unauthorized access.

Question 5

Williams, a forensic specialist, was tasked with performing a static malware analysis on a suspect system in an organization. For this purpose, Williams used an automated tool to perform a string search and saved all the identified strings in a text file. After analyzing the strings, he determined all the harmful actions that were performed by malware.

Identify the tool employed by Williams in the above scenario.



Answer : A

The scenario's focus on extracting strings from a suspect system for malware analysis aligns with the functionality of tools like ResourcesExtract:

ResourcesExtract's Purpose:It's designed to extract specific resources, including strings, from executables and other file types. This is crucial for static malware analysis.

String Search and Analysis:Finding and analyzing embedded strings can reveal malicious code behavior, function calls, and other clues about the malware's intent.


Question 6

An investigator wants to extract information about the status of the network interface cards (NICs) in an organization's Windows-based systems. Identify the command-line utility that can help the investigator detect the network status.



Answer : A
