Each individual Argus flow capture (entry) display represents . . .

A bidirectional “flow” of possibly many packets between two particular endpoints

A unidirectional “flow” of possibly many packets between two particular endpoints

An entire socket-pair conversation, from beginning to end, between two particular endpoints

A summary of all traffic collected (regardless of endpoints) over a certain interval of time

Which statement is true regarding the below Argus flow capture?

98 packets and 10268 bytes have been sent from the 192.168.60.3.22 socket

Since FIN is shown, this flow captures the entire SSH conversation

The total payload exchanged during this flow capture is 10,268 bytes

The flow initiator has sent a total of 98 packets during this flow's time capture interval

Which named approach to session data collection entails collecting (storing) the entire packets (including payload) first, but then—later—extracting-out the session data for investigation?

Batch

Pre-Capture

Session-first

Session-full

Because of where the Argus flow capture sensors were placed for this particular investigation; which of these is true?

We saw duplicate flows for intra-VLAN traffic

We saw all traffic flows; I.e., none were missed

We only saw duplicate flows when the traffic was inter-VLAN (or inter-network).

The only traffic we did not see was inter-VLAN traffic

According to information presented in the first few slides of this presentation, what is the most likely detection-to-investigation scenario, as it pertains to the responder's use of network data types?

Responder will start with session or full-packet data, then look for corresponding alert data

Responder will first see an alert, then will drill-down into full-packet or session data.

Responder will likely always start with full-packet data, no matter the situation/incident

Responder will start with full-packets, then view statistical info for more detailed info

router

Assume an Argus flow sensor is running on each interface of this router. Which statement is true?

All intra-network and inter-network traffic would be seen by Argus

Only intra-network traffic would be seen by Argus

Traffic from AB would not be seen, and traffic from AC would be seen twice

A sensor is needed on both interfaces (as shown) in order to see inter-network traffic

Which of these Snort rule headers would alert on: any tcp traffic between MY_DMZ and the INTERNET, if the traffic is not associated with a well-known service port in MY_DMZ?

Alert tcp $INTERNET 1024: <> $MY_DMZ :1023

Alert tcp $INTERNET any -> $MY_DMZ 1024:

Alert tcp $MY_DMZ 1024: <> $INTERNET any

Alert tcp $INTERNET any -> $MY_DMZ :1023

Which statement is true?

Snort is only a sniffer and alerter

Snort is only a sniffer, logger, and alerter

Snort is only a sniffer, logger, and a network IDS (detection, not prevention).

Snort can sniff, log, alert and block (i.e., prevent) traffic.

What Snort rule item(s) is/are intended to serve as its unique identifier among all Snort rules?

Sid (only)

Sid + rev

. sid + rule header

Sid + rev + message

Which statement is true regarding where/how Snort determines a rule’s priority level?

The default priority level is “built-in” to (i.e., part of the definition of) the rule’s classtype.

The "priority" metadata option must be included in a rule in order to define a priority level.

All rules default to low priority, but this can be overridden by adding the “priority” option

The only way to include a priority rating in a rule, is to include it in the rule's message

Which content search modifier(s) would most efficiently search for “ABC” if we only know that there is no more than 100 bytes in front of it as it is positioned in the payload?

(content: “ABC”;)

(content: “ABC”; depth: 105;)

(content: “ABC”; offset: 100;)

(content: “ABC”; offset: 100; depth: 5;)
