1. T F Anomaly-based intrusion detection systems generate alerts based on deviations from “normal” traffic. 2. T F A host-based IDS monitors logs, files, and activity local to a single computer or device but cannot examine network traffic destined for the host. 3. T F When discussing IDS and IPS, a is a digital certificate used to identify the author of an exploit. 4. T F The success of stateful protocol analysis depends on vendors adhering to standard protocol models that specify expected protocol behavior. 5. T F Signature-based intrusion detection cannot identify previously unknown attacks. 6. T F The main difference between network-based IDS and IPS is that IPS responds to suspected attacks by blocking network traffic, while IDS provides notification if suspicious traffic is observed but allows the traffic to pass. 7. T F Snort requires the use of at least one preprocessor to be able to analyze patterns in network traffic spanning multiple packets. 8. T F Snort generates an alert every time a detection rule is matched. 9. T F A network-based IDS that scans packet traffic to try to match known attack patterns is called a signature-based NIDS. 10. T F An in-line IDS must have the processing power to handle traffic at least as fast as the bandwidth of the network it monitors, or it will lose packets and potentially fail to notify on packets matching alert rules. a. Rules are easy to define b. The data it produces can be easily analyzed c. It can detect “zero-day” or previously unknown attacks d. Malicious activity that falls within normal usage patterns is detected e. Rules developed at one site can be shared with many other users a. Initiating incident response procedures b. Notifying system administrators when patches need to be applied c. Deterring employees from acting in ways that violate security policy d. Recording information about the threats faced by an organization’s network e. Verifying the effectiveness of firewall rules in filtering traffic a. An IPS detects network attacks and issues alerts b. An IPS can respond to network attacks by blocking traffic and resetting connections c. An IPS is typically deployed inline to monitor traffic d. a and b only e. a, b, and c a. Cannot be centrally monitored with sensors running on different OSes b. Cannot protect against insider threats c. Cannot inspect encrypted traffic for attack signatures d. Cannot scale to protect a large network e. Cannot detect application-layer attacks Please answer briefly and completely, and cite all sources of information. Please refer to the accompanying network diagram as you consider and respond to the following: Global Corporation, Inc. (GCI) is a fictional company providing business services to a variety of clients across many industries, including commercial and government entities. GCI recently finished construction of a new corporate headquarters, which includes the network infrastructure for primary company operations. You are a security analyst specializing in intrusion detection brought in by GCI to help determine the most appropriate kinds of IDS to use and most effective IDS placements to protect their network. GCI’s network uses a conventional three-zone architecture: devices exposed to the Internet are part of an un-trusted outer zone; Internet-accessible services such as the company website and email are in a demilitarized zone; and major systems and servers supporting both Internet-facing and internal applications as well as internal computing resources such as the corporate LAN are in a trusted zone. Each of these zones is segmented from the others using hardware-based firewalls; the corporate databases are further protected behind their own dedicated firewall. GCI allows employees remote access to the corporate LAN using either VPN or dial-up connections.
