We cover exam goals

Each exam is different: some cover more topics, others less. The objectives of the exam define what knowledge you need to master and why it is important. It is essential to know these objectives before attempting to take the exam. You can find them on the provider's official site, where they will clearly indicate which topics to study. Of course, at Examice we take each of these objectives into account when designing our questions, in order to offer you a study experience as close as possible to the real exam.

Security+ Dumps Updated

Why would anyone want to study with questions that do not come from real exams? These questions often deal with different topics or have a different difficulty than the official exam, which ultimately ends up hindering more than it actually helps in preparing for the exam. If you study with real exam questions, you will have a better view of the topics being tested, the importance and frequency with which certain topics appear, and also the key words you should pay attention to in order to avoid falling into trap questions. This allows you to be prepared in a much more effective way than any other resource could offer. In addition, you will have the support of a community of people who will guide you every step of the way.

Hot Area:

    Correct Answer:

    1: Spear phishing is an e-mail spoofing fraud attempt that targets a specific organization, seeking unauthorized access to confidential data. As with the e-mail messages used in regular phishing expeditions, spear phishing messages appear to come from a trusted source. Phishing messages usually appear to come from a large and well-known company or Web site with a broad membership base, such as eBay or PayPal. In the case of spear phishing, however, the apparent source of the e-mail is likely to be an individual within the recipient's own company and generally someone in a position of authority.

    2: The Hoax in this question is designed to make people believe that the fake AV (anti- virus) software is genuine.

    3: Vishing is the act of using the telephone in an attempt to scam the user into surrendering private information that will be used for identity theft. The scammer usually pretends to be a legitimate business, and fools the victim into thinking he or she will profit.

    4: Email spam, also referred to as junk email, is unsolicited messages sent in bulk by email (spamming).

    5: Similar in nature to e-mail phishing, pharming seeks to obtain personal or private (usually financial related) information through domain spoofing. Rather than being spammed with malicious and mischievous e-mail requests for you to visit spoof Web sites which appear legitimate, pharming 'poisons' a DNS server by infusing false information into the DNS server, resulting in a user's request being redirected elsewhere. Your browser, however will show you are at the correct

    Web site, which makes pharming a bit more serious and more difficult to detect. Phishing attempts to scam people one at a time with an e-mail while pharming allows the scammers to target large groups of people at one time through domain spoofing.

Question 4 of 1043

Which of the following would a security specialist be able to determine upon examination of a server's certificate?

    Correct Answer: D

    Upon examination of a server's certificate, a security specialist would be able to determine the Object Identifier (OID). An OID is used to uniquely identify a particular object within the certificate, providing specific information about the certificate and its associated attributes. The CA public key, server private key, and the Certificate Signing Request (CSR) are not directly included in the server's certificate.

Question 5 of 1043

A security analyst is diagnosing an incident in which a system was compromised from an external IP address. The socket identified on the firewall was traced to

207.46.130.0:6666. Which of the following should the security analyst do to determine if the compromised system still has an active connection?

    Correct Answer: B

    To determine if the compromised system still has an active connection, the security analyst should use the netstat command. Netstat is used to display active TCP connections, listening ports, and network statistics, which will help in identifying if there is an ongoing connection to the external IP address 207.46.130.0 on port 6666. Other options like tracert, ping, and nslookup are used for different purposes such as tracking the route to a destination, checking if a remote host is reachable, and querying DNS servers respectively, and would not provide the necessary information to determine active connections.
