A pen tester has extracted a database name by using a blind SQL injection. Now he begins
to test the table inside the database using the below query and finds the table:

where xtype='U')=3) WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10'--
http://juggyboy.com/page.aspx?id=1; IF (ASCII(lower(substring((SELECT TOP 1 NAME
from sysobjects where xtype=char(85)),1,1)))=101) WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10'--
http://juggyboy.com/page.aspx?id=1; IF (ASCII(lower(substring((SELECT TOP 1 NAME
from sysobjects where xtype=char(85)),2,1)))=109) WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:10'--
http://juggyboy.com/page.aspx?id=1; IF (ASCII(lower(substring((SELECT TOP 1 NAME

An external intrusion test and analysis identify security weaknesses and strengths of the
client's systems and networks as they appear from outside the client's security perimeter,
usually from the Internet. The goal of an external intrusion test and analysis is to
demonstrate the existence of known vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an external
attacker.
During external penetration testing, which of the following scanning techniques allow you to
determine a port’s state without making a full connection to the host?
A. XMAS Scan
B. SYN scan
C. FIN Scan
D. NULL Scan
Answer: B
Passwords protect computer resources and files from unauthorized access by malicious
users. Using passwords is the most capable and effective way to protect information and to
increase the security level of a company.
Password cracking is the process of recovering passwords from data that have been stored
in or transmitted by a computer system to gain unauthorized access to a system.
Which of the following password cracking attacks tries every combination of characters
until the password is broken?
A. Brute-force attack
B. Rule-based attack
C. Hybrid attack
D. Dictionary attack
Answer: A

Application security assessment is one of the activity that a pen tester performs in the
attack phase. It is designed to identify and assess threats to the organization through
bespoke, proprietary applications or systems. It checks the application so that a malicious
user cannot access, modify, or destroy data or services within the system.
Identify the type of application security assessment which analyzes the application-based
code to confirm that it does not contain any sensitive information that an attacker might use
to exploit an application.
A. Web Penetration Testing
B. Functionality Testing
C. Authorization Testing
D. Source Code Review
Answer: D

D. Filters only inbound traffic but not outbound traffic
Answer: B
The IP protocol was designed for use on a wide variety of transmission links. Although the
maximum length of an IP datagram is 64K, most transmission links enforce a smaller
maximum packet length limit, called a MTU.
The value of the MTU depends on the type of the transmission link. The design of IP
accommodates MTU differences by allowing routers to fragment IP datagrams as
necessary. The receiving station is responsible for reassembling the fragments back into
the original full size IP datagram.
IP fragmentation involves breaking a datagram into a number of pieces that can be
reassembled later. The IP source, destination, identification, total length, and fragment
offset fields in the IP header, are used for IP fragmentation and reassembly.
The fragment offset is 13 bits and indicates where a fragment belongs in the original IP
datagram. This value is a:
A. Multiple of four bytes
B. Multiple of two bytes
C. Multiple of eight bytes
D. Multiple of six bytes
Answer: C
