Sample Question
Question:
A security analyst is reviewing logs from a web application firewall and notices multiple requests for a resource that does not exist on the server. What type of attack is most likely occurring?
- A. SQL Injection
Explanation 1: SQL Injection involves inserting malicious SQL code into an input field to manipulate the database. This is not likely, as the attack is focused on accessing non-existent resources. - B. Directory Traversal
Explanation 2: Directory traversal involves accessing directories and files outside of the intended scope. However, this usually aims at accessing existing resources, not non-existent ones. - C. Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Explanation 3: XSS involves injecting malicious scripts into webpages viewed by other users. This attack doesnโt relate to non-existent resource requests. - D. Brute Force Attack
Explanation 4: Brute force attacks involve trying numerous combinations to guess credentials. This isnโt relevant to the situation described. - E. Reconnaissance/Scanning
Explanation 5: This is a common phase in the kill chain where an attacker scans a network or server to gather information, which often includes sending requests for non-existent resources to identify server responses and possible vulnerabilities. (Correct Answer)
Overall Explanation:
In this scenario, the repeated requests for a non-existent resource suggest a reconnaissance attack, where the attacker is attempting to gather information about the server’s structure, software versions, or potential vulnerabilities. Recognizing this behavior is crucial for defending against further exploitation attempts.
