    Number of Hosts we can assign in Class C IP Address Range.

    • 253

    • 254

    • 255

    • 256

    Correct Answer
    A. 254
    Explanation
    In a Class C IP address range, the first three octets are fixed, leaving only the last octet available for host assignment. Since an octet can have values ranging from 0 to 255, there are 256 possible values. However, the first and last values are reserved for network and broadcast addresses respectively, so they cannot be assigned to hosts. Therefore, the number of hosts that can be assigned in a Class C IP address range is 256-2, which equals 254.

    Correct Answer
    A. BSSID
    Explanation
    The BSSID (Basic Service Set Identifier) is a unique identifier assigned to each wireless access point (WAP) in a wireless network. It is the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the WAP. When a router's MAC address is returned, it is actually referring to the BSSID. The BSSID is used to differentiate between different access points in a network and is essential for devices to connect to the correct WAP.

    XSS is a

    • Server Side Attack

    • Client Side Attack

    • Man In The Middle Attack

    • Post Exploitation Attack

    Correct Answer
    A. Client Side Attack
    Explanation
    A client-side attack refers to a type of cyber attack that targets vulnerabilities in the client-side components of a system, such as web browsers or applications. These attacks exploit weaknesses in the client-side software to gain unauthorized access, steal information, or compromise the system. Examples of client-side attacks include phishing, drive-by downloads, and malicious email attachments. In this context, XSS (Cross-Site Scripting) is a type of client-side attack where attackers inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by users, allowing them to execute arbitrary code and potentially steal sensitive information.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    ARP Spoofing is?

    • Man In The Middle Attack

    • Server Side Attack

    • Client Side Attack

    • Post Exploitation Attack

    Correct Answer
    A. Man In The Middle Attack
    Explanation
    ARP spoofing is a type of attack where an attacker sends fake Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) messages to the local network. By doing so, the attacker can associate their own MAC address with the IP address of another device on the network, causing network traffic to be redirected to the attacker's machine. This allows the attacker to intercept and manipulate the communication between the targeted devices, making it a man-in-the-middle attack.

    • Aireplay-ng

    Correct Answer
    A. Airodump-ng
    Explanation
    Airodump-ng is the correct answer because it is a command-line tool used for capturing and analyzing packets on wireless networks. It can be used to sniff wireless networks in range by capturing the packets transmitted over the network and displaying information such as MAC addresses, signal strength, and data rates. Airodump-ng is a part of the Aircrack-ng suite, which is a set of tools used for auditing wireless networks.

    Can we perform SQL Injection using XXS?

    • Cannot Say

    • No

    • Maybe

    • Yes

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    SQL Injection cannot be performed using XSS, as they involve different mechanisms and targets. XSS could potentially be used to steal a user's session cookie, which might give access to perform actions that could lead to SQL Injection if the application is also vulnerable to it, but XSS itself does not directly enable SQL Injection.

    Which of the following is NOT a common type of ethical hacking assessment?

    • Penetration testing 

    • Vulnerability scanning 

    • Social engineering 

    • DDoS attack

    Correct Answer
    A. DDoS attack
    Explanation
    Ethical hacking assessments aim to identify and address security vulnerabilities in systems and networks. Penetration testing involves simulating real-world attacks to exploit vulnerabilities. Vulnerability scanning automates the process of identifying weaknesses. Social engineering uses psychological manipulation to gain access to information or systems. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attacks, however, are malicious attempts to disrupt the availability of a service or network, and they are not considered an ethical hacking practice.
