1. A company had a recent data leak incident. A security engineer investigating the incident discovered that a malicious link was accessed by multiple employees. Further investigation revealed targeted phishing attack attempts on macOS systems, which led to backdoor installations and data compromise.

Which two security solutions should a security engineer recommend to mitigate similar attacks in the future? (Choose two.)

2. An engineer received a call to assist with an ongoing DDoS attack. The Apache server is being targeted, and availability is compromised.

Which step should be taken to identify the origin of the threat?

3. Which information is provided about the object file by the “-h” option in the objdump line command objdump Cb oasys Cm vax Ch fu.o?

4. An organization experienced a sophisticated phishing attack that resulted in the compromise of confidential information from thousands of user accounts. The threat actor used a land and expand approach, where initially accessed account was used to spread emails further. The organization's cybersecurity team must conduct an in-depth root cause analysis to uncover the central factor or factors responsible for the success of the phishing attack. The very first victim of the attack was user with email [email protected]. The primary objective is to formulate effective strategies for preventing similar incidents in the future.

What should the cybersecurity engineer prioritize in the root cause analysis report to demonstrate the underlying cause of the incident?

5. Which magic byte indicates that an analyzed file is a pdf file?

Database unresponsiveness

PageFile.sys changes

Disk usage spikes with CPU spikes

High page faults

Which action should the IR team perform on the server?

9. An engineer is investigating a ticket from the accounting department in which a user discovered an unexpected application on their workstation. Several alerts are seen from the intrusion detection system of unknown outgoing internet traffic from this workstation. The engineer also notices a degraded processing capability, which complicates the analysis process.

Which two actions should the engineer take? (Choose two.)

10. A website administrator has an output of an FTP session that runs nightly to download and unzip files to a local staging server. The download includes thousands of files, and the manual process used to find how many files failed to download is time-consuming. The administrator is working on a PowerShell script that will parse a log file and summarize how many files were successfully downloaded versus ones that failed.

Which script will read the contents of the file one line at a time and return a collection of objects?

11. An analyst finds .xyz files of unknown origin that are large and undetected by antivirus.

What action should be taken next?

12. What is the transmogrify anti-forensics technique?

13. A threat intelligence report identifies an outbreak of a new ransomware strain spreading via phishing emails that contain malicious URLs. A compromised cloud service provider, XYZCloud, is managing the SMTP servers that are sending the phishing emails. A security analyst reviews the potential phishing emails and identifies that the email is coming from XYZCloud. The user has not clicked the embedded malicious URL.

What is the next step that the security analyst should take to identify risk to the organization?
