Preview Questions Cybersecurity Specialist (Defense) | Role Specific Skill

Question 1: How does an ethical hacker assess and exploit physical security vulnerabilities in a defense environment?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By using physical devices to test only for environmental threats

By attacking only the network and ignoring physical access

By focusing solely on password cracking and ignoring physical security

By testing access control systems, conducting social engineering attacks, and attempting physical access without causing damage

Question 2: How do you ensure that a defense system is protected against SQL injection attacks during penetration testing?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By disabling all SQL functions and queries in the system

By using weak encryption protocols to secure database communications

By focusing only on user-level access and ignoring backend database risks

By testing for vulnerable database queries and implementing input validation on all forms

Question 3: What is the role of "IP Filtering" in defense network security protocols?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

IP filtering controls traffic based on IP addresses, preventing unauthorized access to the network

IP filtering is irrelevant for encrypted communication channels

IP filtering is used to optimize network traffic, not for security

IP filtering is only useful for monitoring outgoing network traffic

Question 4: What role does social engineering play in ethical hacking for aerospace and defense systems?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

It is used only to gain access to email accounts

It is not used in ethical hacking as it is too intrusive

It is primarily used to bypass physical security measures

It is used to assess human vulnerabilities by manipulating employees into revealing sensitive information or granting unauthorized access

Question 5: What is "Cross-Site Scripting" (XSS) and how does it affect defense systems during ethical hacking?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

XSS is a type of physical access breach targeting hardware

XSS attacks focus on server-side vulnerabilities, not client-side

XSS allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web applications, compromising client-side security

XSS is a type of DDoS attack that overloads network resources

Question 6: How can an ethical hacker simulate a real-world attack during a vulnerability assessment of a defense system?

Which action should you take?

Choose only one option

By focusing on internal compliance without attempting exploitation

By testing only external services without evaluating internal systems

By only scanning for known vulnerabilities without active testing

By using penetration testing techniques to identify exploitable vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of defenses
