You're interested in gathering information about the services and versions running on open ports of a target host. Which Nmap command should you use? nmap -sS target.com nmap -sC target.com nmap -sU target.com nmap -sV target.com None 4. You're designing a web application and need to store user passwords securely. Which of the following methods is the recommended approach for storing passwords in a database? Storing passwords in plain text. Using a symmetric encryption algorithm on passwords. Hashing passwords with a strong one-way hashing algorithm. Encoding passwords using Base64 before storage. None 5. You've identified a potential Blind SQL Injection vulnerability in a web application. To confirm the vulnerability, you plan to extract the database version. Provide the SQL injection payload you would use for this purpose. ' OR 1=1;-- '; SELECT @@version;-- '; DROP TABLE users;-- ' UNION SELECT null, @@version;-- None 6. Which types of encryption are used during the SSL/TLS handshake process? Select all that apply. Symmetric Encryption Asymmetric Encryption Compression Asymmetric Encryption & Symmetric Encryption None 7. What is the difference between a session hijacking attack and a cookie hijacking attack? A session hijacking attack steals the victim's session cookie, while a cookie hijacking attack steals the victim's session ID. A session hijacking attack is more difficult to perform, but it is also more stealthy. A cookie hijacking attack is easier to perform, but it is also more easily detected. Both session hijacking attacks and cookie hijacking attacks are equally difficult to perform and detect.
