QUESTION: 1

What is the essential difference between an ‘Ethical Hacker’ and a ‘Cracker’?

The ethical hacker does not use the same techniques or skills as a cracker.
The ethical hacker does it strictly for financial motives unlike a cracker.
The ethical hacker has authorization from the owner of the target.
The ethical hacker is just a cracker who is getting paid.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The ethical hacker uses the same techniques and skills as a cracker and the motive is to find the security breaches before a cracker does. There is nothing that says that a cracker does not get paid for the work he does, a ethical hacker has the owners authorization and will get paid even if he does not succeed to penetrate the target.

QUESTION: 1

Study the following exploit code taken from a Linux machine and answer the questions below:
echo “ingreslock stream tcp nowait root /bin/sh sh –I" > /tmp/x;
/usr/sbin/inetd –s /tmp/x;
sleep 10;
/bin/ rm –f /tmp/x AAAA…AAA
In the above exploit code, the command “/bin/sh sh –I" is given.
What is the purpose, and why is ‘sh’ shown twice?

The command /bin/sh sh –i appearing in the exploit code is actually part of an inetd configuration file.
The length of such a buffer overflow exploit makes it prohibitive for user to enter manually.
The second ‘sh’ automates this function.
It checks for the presence of a codeword (setting the environment variable) among the environment variables.
It is a giveaway by the attacker that he is a script kiddy.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

What's going on in the above question is the attacker is trying to write to the unix filed /tm/x (his inetd.conf replacement config) -- he is attempting to add a service called ingresslock (which doesnt exist), which is "apparently" suppose to spawn a shell the given port specified by /etc/services for the service "ingresslock", ingresslock is a non-existant service, and if an attempt were made to respawn inetd, the service would error out on that line. (he would have to add the service to /etc/services to suppress the error). Now the question is asking about /bin/sh sh -i which produces an error that should read "sh: /bin/sh: cannot execute binary file", the -i option places the shell in interactive mode and cannot be used to respawn itself.
