Which Security profile would you apply to identify infected hosts on the protected network using DNS traffic?

  • A. antivirus
  • B. anti-spyware
  • C. vulnerability protection
  • D. URL traffic

Answer: B

In addition, you can enable the DNS Sinkholing action in Anti-Spyware profiles to enable the firewall to forge a response to a DNS query for a known malicious domain, causing the malicious domain name to resolve to an IP address that you define. This feature helps to identify infected hosts on the protected network using DNS traffic.

  • B. Log at Session Start and Log at Session End both disabled
  • C. Log at Session Start enabled
    Log at Session End disabled
  • D. Log at Session Start and Log at Session End both enabled

Answer: A

When creating or editing a security rule, an option to log the transaction is available with two options, Log at Session Start or Log at Session End.
For regular logging, the best practice is to log at session end. The reason for that is that applications are likely to change throughout the lifespan of the session.


NEW QUESTION # 104
What is the default action for the SYN Flood option within the DoS Protection profile?

  • A. Reset-client
  • B. Sinkhole
  • C. Random Early Drop
  • D. Alert

Answer: C

Explanation:
DoS Protection Profiles and Policy Rules work together to provide protection against flooding of many incoming SYN, UDP, ICMP, and ICMPv6 packets, and other types of IP packets. You determine what thresholds constitute flooding. In general, the DoS Protection profile sets the thresholds at which the firewall generates a DoS alarm, takes action such as Random Early Drop, and drops additional incoming connections. A DoS Protection policy rule configured to protect (rather than to allow or deny packets) determines the criteria for packets to match (such as source address) in order to be counted toward the thresholds. This flexibility allows you to block certain traffic, or allow certain traffic and treat other traffic as DoS traffic. When the incoming rate exceeds your maximum threshold, the firewall blocks incoming traffic from the source address.
