(202) Active intrusion detection system (IDS) blocks network traffic when it detects an intrusion. Normally, active IDSs are incorporated into
- Switches.
- Firewalls.
- Routers.
- Servers.
Correct Answer

A. Firewalls.

Explanation

Active intrusion detection systems (IDS) are designed to actively block network traffic when they detect an intrusion. These systems are typically incorporated into firewalls, which act as a barrier between a trusted internal network and an untrusted external network. Firewalls are responsible for monitoring and controlling incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules. By incorporating active IDS into firewalls, organizations can enhance their network security by automatically blocking any suspicious or malicious traffic that may indicate an intrusion attempt. Therefore, firewalls are the most suitable option for housing active IDS.

(202) Which intrusion detection system (IDS) examines traffic for suspicious patterns?
- Active IDS.
- Passive IDS.
- Host-based IDS.
- Network-based IDS.
Correct Answer

A. Network-based IDS.

Explanation

A network-based intrusion detection system (IDS) examines traffic for suspicious patterns. It monitors network traffic and analyzes it to identify any signs of unauthorized access or malicious activity. Unlike host-based IDS, which focuses on individual hosts, a network-based IDS looks at the entire network and can detect attacks that may involve multiple hosts. Passive IDS, on the other hand, simply observes network traffic without actively taking action. Active IDS combines monitoring with active response mechanisms. Therefore, the correct answer is network-based IDS.

(203) The disadvantage of a host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) is that it
- Can analyze any encrypted data if it is decrypted before reaching the target host.
- Consumes resources on the host it resides on and slows that device down.
- Monitors log files for inadvisable settings or passwords.
- Monitors traffic on the host on which it is installed.
Correct Answer

A. Consumes resources on the host it resides on and slows that device down.

Explanation

A host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) consumes resources on the host it resides on and slows that device down. This means that the HIDS uses processing power, memory, and other system resources, which can impact the overall performance of the host. As a result, the host may experience slower response times and decreased efficiency.

(203) The disadvantage of a network-based intrusion detection system (NIDS) is that it
- Cannot analyze encrypted packets because it has no method for decrypting the data.
- Monitors log files for inadvisable settings or passwords.
- Monitors traffic on the network on which it is installed.
- Consumes very few network resources.
Correct Answer

A. Cannot analyze encrypted packets because it has no method for decrypting the data.

Explanation

A network-based intrusion detection system (NIDS) is designed to monitor network traffic and detect any suspicious or malicious activity. However, one disadvantage of a NIDS is that it cannot analyze encrypted packets because it lacks the capability to decrypt the data. Encryption is a security measure that protects data by converting it into a format that is unreadable without the appropriate decryption key. Therefore, when packets are encrypted, the NIDS is unable to examine the contents of the data, making it ineffective in detecting any potential threats or attacks within those packets.
