RC4 is known to be a good stream generator. RC4 is used within the WEP standard on wireless LAN. WEP is known to be insecure even if we are using a stream cipher that is known to be secured.
What is the most likely cause behind this?

There are some flaws in the implementation.
There is no key management.
The IV range is too small.
All of the above.
None of the above.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Because RC4 is a stream cipher, the same traffic key must never be used twice. The purpose of an IV, which is transmitted as plain text, is to prevent any repetition, but a 24-bit IV is not long enough to ensure this on a busy network. The way the IV was used also opened WEP to a related key attack. For a 24-bit IV, there is a 50% probability the same IV will repeat after 5000 packets.
Many WEP systems require a key in hexadecimal format. Some users choose keys that spell words in the limited 0-9, A-F hex character set, for example C0DE C0DE C0DE C0DE. Such keys are often easily guessed.

QUESTION: 3

What is the expected result of the following exploit?

Opens up a telnet listener that requires no username or password.
Create a FTP server with write permissions enabled.
Creates a share called “sasfile” on the target system.
Creates an account with a user name of Anonymous and a password of noone@nowhere.com.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The script being depicted is in perl (both msadc.pl and the script their using as a wrapper) -- $port, $your, $user, $pass, $host are variables that hold the port # of a DNS server, an IP, username, and FTP password. $host is set to argument variable 0 (which means the string typed directly after the command). Essentially what happens is it connects to an FTP server and downloads nc.exe (the TCP/IP swiss-army knife -- netcat) and uses nc to open a TCP port spawning cmd.exe (cmd.exe is the Win32 DOS shell on NT/2000/2003/XP), cmd.exe when spawned requires NO username or password and has the permissions of the username it is being executed as (probably guest in this instance, although it could be administrator). The #'s in the script means the text following is a comment, notice the last line in particular, if the # was removed the script would spawn a connection to itself, the host system it was running on.
