Which of the following attacks is performed by James in the above scenario?
Bob has secretly installed smart CCTV devices (loT devices) outside his home and wants to access the recorded data from a remote location. These smart CCTV devices send sensed data to an intermediate device that carries out pre-processing of data online before transmitting it to the cloudfor storage and analysis. The analyzed data is then sent to Bob for initiating actions.
Identify the component of loT architecture that collects data from loT devices and performs data preprocessing.
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.
Bob, a network administrator in a company, manages network connectivity to 200 employees in six different rooms. Every employee has their own laptop to connect to the Internet through a wireless network, but the company has only one broadband connection.
Which of the following types of wireless networks allows Bob to provide Internet access to every laptop and bring all the devices to a single network?
Mary was surfing the Internet, and she wanted to hide her details and the content she was surfing over the web. She employed a proxy tool that makes his online activity untraceable.
Identify the type of proxy employed by John in the above scenario.
An organization decided to strengthen the security of its network by studying and analyzing the behavior of attackers. For this purpose. Steven, a security analyst, was instructed to deploy a device to bait attackers. Steven selected a solution that appears to contain very useful information to lure attackers and find their locationsand techniques.
Identify the type of device deployed by Steven in the above scenario.
Melissa, an ex-employee of an organization, was fired because of misuse of resources and security violations. She sought revenge against the company and targeted its network, as she is already aware of its network topology.
Which of the following categories of insiders does Melissa belong to?
An loT sensor in an organization generated an emergency alarm indicating a security breach. The servers hosted in an loT layer accepted, stored, and processed the sensor data received from loT gateways and created dashboards for monitoring, analyzing, and implementing proactive decisions to tackle the issue.
Which of the following layers in the loT architecture performed the above activities after receiving an alert from the loT sensor?
Alana, an employee in an organization, took a short break after spending exhausting hours on a project. For relaxation, she went to a cafeteria with her laptop, where she connected to the public Internet. While browsing the web, she received a project modifications file on her mail and reverted with another file that contained the required changes.
Which of the following BYOD risks has emerged from the above scenario?
A major fire broke out in the storeroom of CyberSol Inc. It first gutted the equipment in the storeroom and then started spreading to other areas in the company. The officials of the company informed the fire department. The fire rescue team reached the premises and used a distribution piping system to suppress the fire, thereby preventing any human or asset loss.
Identify the type of fire-fighting system used by the rescue team in the above scenario.
Sam is working as a loan agent for a financial institution. He frequently receives a number of emails from clients providing their personal details for loan approval. As these emails contain sensitive data. Sam had set up a feature that directly downloads the emails on his device without storing a copy on the mail server.
Which of the following protocols provides the above-discussed email features?
Bob, a security professional, was recruited by an organization to ensure that application services are being delivered as expected without any delay. To achieve this. Bob decided to maintain different backup servers for the same resources so that if one backup system fails, another will serve the purpose.
Identify the IA principle employed by Bob in the above scenario.
Kevin logged into a banking application with his registered credentials and tried to transfer some amount from his account to Flora's account. Before transferring the amount to Flora’s account, the application sent an OTP to Kevin's mobile for confirmation.

A disk drive has 16.384 cylinders, 80 heads, and 63 sectors per track, and each sector can store 512bytes of data. What is the total size of the disk?
Bruce, a professional hacker, targeted an OT network. He initiated a looping strategy to recover the password of the target system. He started sending one character at a time to check whether the first character entered is correct: If so, he continued the loop for consecutive characters. Using thistechnique. Bruce identified how much time the device takes to finish one complete password authentication process, through which he determined the correct characters in the target password.
Identify the type of attack launched by Bruce on the target OT network.
Mark, an attacker, aims to access an organization's internal server, but the local firewall implementation restricted him from achieving this objective. To overcome this issue, he started sending specially crafted requests to the public server, through which he gained access to the local server.

Below are the various steps involved in establishing a network connection using the shared key authentication process.
l.The AP sends a challenge text to the station.
2.The station connects to the network.
3.The station encrypts the challenge text using its configured 128-bit key and sends the encrypted text to the AP.
4.The station sends an authentication frame to the AP.
5.The AP uses its configured WEP key to decrypt the encrypted text and compares it with the original challenge text.
What is the correct sequence of steps involved in establishing a network connection using the shared key authentication process?
Peter, a network defender, was instructed to protect the corporate network from unauthorized access.
