A cybersecurity engineer configures a series of virtual machines on an isolated network and purposefully exposes the port 3389 (remote desktop) for Windows machines. The engineer hopes to get potential attackers break the Windows authentication solution, gain knowledge from the attackers' techniques, and better secure real production environments. This is an example of: Honeynet O LDAP injection O Horizontal Escalation O Logicbomb

Assume a web server can only receive TCP connections on port 80 (HTTP) and 22 (SSH), but not on any other ports. The web server can only establish connection to a database server hosted on private IP 192.168.100.100 on port 3000, but to no other machines inside or outside the network. Imagine this web server is running Linux, and we’re using iptables to define host-based firewall rules for it. Show the set of iptables commands to install necessary rules for this security policy.
In this question, you will help Mallory develop new ways to conduct denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. (1) CHARGEN and ECHO are services provided by some UNIX servers. For every UDP packet arriving at port 19, CHARGEN sends back a packet with 0 to 512 random characters. For every UDP packet arriving at port 7, ECHO sends back a packet with the same content. Mallory wants to perform a DoS attack on two servers. One with IP address M supports CHARGEN, and another with IP address N supports ECHO. Mallory can spoof IP addresses. Is it possible to create a single UDP packet with no content which will cause both servers to consume a large amount of bandwidth? If yes, describe the header (i.e., source IP, destination IP, source port, and destination port) of your UDP package; otherwise, explain why? Assume now that CHARGEN and ECHO are now modified to only respond to TCP packets (post-handshake) and not UDP. Is it possible to create a single TCP SYN packet with no content which will cause…

Tobias, a system administrator at a pharmaceutical company, uses BitLocker Drive Encryption to encrypt all Windows 10 computers in the organization. Because the computers contain sensitive information, users must enter a PIN to start the system. While this is a useful security feature when the computers are disconnected from the organization's network, this becomes a hindrance in performing remote maintenance because Tobias cannot start these computers without entering the PIN.Which of the following tools can Tobias use to overcome this issue?: a BitLocker Network Unlock b BitLocker To Go c Trusted Platform Module (TPM) d Windows Defender Smartscreen
