20+ practice questions focused on Advanced Topics: Wireless, Cloud, IoT, Cryptography — one of the most tested topics on the Certified Ethical Hacker CEH exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Advanced Topics: Wireless, Cloud, IoT, Cryptography PracticeA forensic analyst examines a firmware image extracted from an IoT thermostat and finds hardcoded credentials for a cloud backend. Which phase of the IoT attack lifecycle does this represent?
Explanation: Finding hardcoded credentials in firmware is an act of information gathering about the target device and its backend. This corresponds to the Reconnaissance phase of the IoT attack lifecycle, where attackers collect data to identify vulnerabilities. The exploitation phase would involve using the credentials to gain access, not just discovering them.
Which TWO of the following are valid attacks against wireless networks? (Choose two.)
Explanation: Evil twin involves a rogue AP, and de-authentication disconnects clients by targeting 802.11 management frames. SSRF is a web application vulnerability, not a wireless network attack. Dictionary attacks are a method for cracking passwords or keys, which can be used against wireless networks (e.g., WPA/WPA2 pre-shared keys) but are a general technique rather than a specific wireless network attack type. Replay attacks are also a generic technique that can be applied in wireless contexts (e.g., WEP cracking) but are not exclusively wireless-specific. The question asks for specific attacks against wireless networks, making evil twin and de-authentication the most appropriate choices.
Which TWO of the following are valid cryptanalytic attacks?
Explanation: Birthday attack exploits hash collisions; replay attack reuses captured data. Downgrade attack forces a system to use a weaker cryptographic protocol or cipher suite, which is a form of cryptanalytic attack. SQL injection and XSS are web application attacks, not cryptanalytic.
An analyst notices that a cloud application is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF). Which of the following is the MOST effective mitigation against SSRF attacks in a cloud environment?
Explanation: Restricting the application from making requests to internal IP ranges (e.g., 169.254.169.254, a common address for cloud metadata services) is a key defense against SSRF.
An organization is using a cloud IAM policy that allows all actions on all resources. Which TWO security issues are MOST directly related to this configuration? (Choose two.)
Explanation: A permissive IAM policy directly grants excessive privileges, which can be exploited to access and expose sensitive data from various cloud resources, including cloud storage buckets.
