2 Chat with Your Instructor This Study Guide will offer some suggestions about how to cover the material in the class. One of the things you should know, regardless of the class you are taking, is that the instructor can t be the sole repository of information for the class and neither can the textbook. Technology simply moves too quickly for that to be a viable option. There is a whole Internet out there. Chances are, someone, somewhere has encountered whatever problem you are having and has solved it. And chances are, someone who has solved your problem has posted the solution on the web. It might not be the exact solution, but it will get you moving toward solving the problem. Having said that, the vaguer an assignment is, the more you will learn from it. The author of the text will walk you through some possible attacks, which will help you to, at the minimum, harden your systems and inform your users. The tutorial sections sprinkled throughout the chapters are very much like this. We do not want to inhibit you in any way if possible; we want you to think what needs to be improved. Of course, there are always students who need more direction and will need to be dealt with individually. Nevertheless, this is college. Students need to explore not be led by the nose step by step. This book assumes that you have knowledge of basic computer and network terminology. It also is not going to make you a hacker, nor is it enough knowledge for a guarantee that you can sit for the exam. The one thing we want to make perfectly clear is that this course is designed to introduce, not make proficient. It uses one of the resources prepared by EC-Council for the exam, but it is not directly associated with them. It is our attempt to round your knowledge and maybe cause you to want to learn more about the topics inside. If you have a technical problem, we recommend the following: First, check the textbook that accompanies the study guide. Research some of the information at the appropriate websites (a search using the key terms may also be helpful.) Feel free to call the instruction department during business hours (8:30 AM to 6 PM Eastern time), Monday through Friday, and Saturday during the weekend hours (8:30 AM to 5 PM Eastern time). Be prepared to describe which lesson you are working on and the problem you are having.

22 Chapter 10 Denial of Service Overview Sometimes the objective of an attack is to embarrass the target. Reputation is perhaps the most valuable asset to any organization. Since non- techies don t understand the concept of DoS or DDoS attacks, it is easy to create a sense that a network is not trustworthy simply by making its services inaccessible. There are other reasons for these attacks as well; it might be as simple as an attacker or virus author testing out or proving a theory. This chapter looks at how Denial of Service attacks are set up and how botnets that were possibly setup by worm droppings or socially engineered installations of malware can coordinate in a large scale event.

32 Chapter 14 Buffer Overflows Overview This chapter takes a step back to look at the principles behind one of the most dangerous and consistently occurring vulnerabilities in software. It is one of the reasons much of the attacks explored in previous chapters are successful. The explanation approaches the topic not with an assumption the reader has a programming background, but from a perspective that anyone with some experience in IT can get the hang of. This area of attack is a specialty on its own that takes years of concentrated effort to master, but everyone needs to at least grasp the basics.

(1) Signature recognition (3) Anomaly detection (2) Statistical detection (4) File integrity check 2. A firewall fingerprinting technique that uses Telnet to attempt access on any discovered port. (1) Traceroute (3) Port scanning (2) Firewalking (4) Banner grabbing 3. This choice identifies the task of configuring an IDS to look for a recognizable series of bytes or characters in a packet. (1) Signature recognition (3) Port scanning (2) Statistical detection (4) Banner grabbing 4. A Linux command line tool that allows the attacker to fragment packets to a predetermined size, which generates excessive traffic for an IDS to check in the hopes it will overlook something. (1) Packetizer (3) Packet shaper (2) Fragrouter (4) Fragroute 5. A type of firewall that checks each packet one at a time, a system that is both cost effective and very efficient. (1) Packet filters (3) Application level firewall (2) Circuit level gateways (4) Stateful inspection firewall 6. This would indicate system identification of clean input. (1) Input does not exceed memory allocation (2) Input meets expected criteria (3) Special characters are ignored (4) All are will indicate clean input 7. This indicates the last four bytes in a variable space used by programmers to detect buffer overflow attempts. (1) 0x90 exploit (3) NOP sled (2) IDS signature (4) Canary bytes
