312-50v13 Exam Dumps - Certified Ethical Hacker Exam (CEHv13)

According to CEH v13 Web Application and Server Security, regular patching and updates are the most effective way to reduce server attack surfaces. Vulnerabilities in web servers, proxies, and supporting services are frequently exploited if patches are delayed.

While architectural choices and directory placement influence organization, they do not mitigate known vulnerabilities. Changing IP addresses does not prevent exploitation, and moving directories does not address underlying software flaws.

CEH v13 consistently emphasizes patch management as a primary defensive control. Therefore, Option C is correct.

Active Online Attacks: Hash Injection/Pass-the-Hash (PtH) Attack A hash injection/PtH attack allows an attacker to inject a compromised hash into a local session and use the hash to validate network resources The attacker finds and extracts a logged-on domain admin account hash The attacker uses the extracted hash to log on to the domain controller

· Identifying operating systems, services, protocols and devices,

· Collecting unencrypted information about usernames and passwords,

· Capturing network traffic for further analysis

are passive network sniffing methods since with the help of them we only receive information and do not make any changes to the target network. When modifying and replaying the captured network traffic, we are already starting to make changes and actively interact with it.

The scenario describes a situation where a hacker infects an internet-facing server and leverages it to perform malicious activities such as sending spam emails, participating in distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, or hosting spam content. This behavior is characteristic of a Botnet Trojan.

According to the CEH v13 Official Courseware and Study Guide:

A Botnet Trojan is a type of malware that transforms infected machines into bots (also called zombies), which can be remotely controlled by an attacker (bot herder or bot master).

These bots become part of a botnet — a network of compromised machines used for coordinated cyberattacks including:

Sending unsolicited spam emails (junk mail)

Participating in DDoS attacks

Hosting or distributing malware and phishing content

The infected machine can receive commands from a command-and-control (C&C) server and act in concert with other infected machines to amplify attacks or spread malware.

Incorrect Options:

B. Banking Trojans are designed specifically to steal financial data such as online banking credentials.

C. Turtle Trojans is not a valid classification in CEH v13 or cybersecurity literature (may be a distractor).

D. Ransomware Trojans encrypt data and demand a ransom for decryption, not typically used for junk mail or botnet activities.

Practical labs in CEH Engage and iLabs also demonstrate botnet functionality using tools like Zeus and Emotet in real-world botnet infection scenarios.

A demilitarized zone (DMZ) is a buffer zone between a trusted internal network and an untrusted external network (usually the internet). Public-facing services like web servers, email servers, and DNS servers are typically placed in the DMZ. These nodes can be accessed from the internet, but the DMZ design ensures that unauthorized access to the internal network is blocked or highly restricted.

The purpose is to provide access to certain systems without exposing the internal network directly.

An iPhone client’s most noticeably terrible bad dream is to have somebody oversee his/her gadget, including the capacity to record and control all action without waiting be in a similar room. In this blog entry, we present another weakness called “Trustjacking”, which permits an aggressor to do precisely that.

This weakness misuses an iOS highlight called iTunes Wi-Fi sync, which permits a client to deal with their iOS gadget without genuinely interfacing it to their PC. A solitary tap by the iOS gadget proprietor when the two are associated with a similar organization permits an assailant to oversee the gadget. Furthermore, we will stroll through past related weaknesses and show the progressions that iPhone has made to alleviate them, and why these are adequately not to forestall comparative assaults.

After interfacing an iOS gadget to another PC, the clients are being found out if they trust the associated PC or not. Deciding to believe the PC permits it to speak with the iOS gadget by means of the standard iTunes APIs.

This permits the PC to get to the photographs on the gadget, perform reinforcement, introduce applications and considerably more, without requiring another affirmation from the client and with no recognizable sign. Besides, this permits enacting the “iTunes Wi-Fi sync” highlight, which makes it conceivable to proceed with this sort of correspondence with the gadget even after it has been detached from the PC, as long as the PC and the iOS gadget are associated with a similar organization. It is intriguing to take note of that empowering “iTunes Wi-Fi sync” doesn’t need the casualty’s endorsement and can be directed simply from the PC side.

Getting a live stream of the gadget’s screen should be possible effectively by consistently requesting screen captures and showing or recording them distantly.

It is imperative to take note of that other than the underlying single purpose of disappointment, approving the vindictive PC, there is no other component that forestalls this proceeded with access. Likewise, there isn’t anything that informs the clients that by approving the PC they permit admittance to their gadget even in the wake of detaching the USB link.

According to CEH v13 Module 06: Malware Threats, USB Dumper is a tool often used in insider threat or data exfiltration scenarios, where it automatically and silently copies files from any USB drive connected to a system.

It operates in the background and requires no user interaction once installed.

Files are copied from the USB to a pre-configured local directory.

USB Dumper is used in various penetration testing scenarios to simulate data theft using physical access.

Option Clarifications:

A. USB Grabber: Not a recognized standard tool in CEH or industry.

B. USB Snoopy: Used for monitoring USB communications (not silent copying).

C. USB Sniffer: Used for sniffing USB device communication traffic, not file theft.

D. USB Dumper: Correct tool for silently copying USB content.

18 U.S.C. §1030, also known as the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA), is a broad federal statute that criminalizes unauthorized access to computers and related fraudulent activities—including phishing and email scams.

From CEH v13 Official Courseware:

Module 1: Introduction to Ethical Hacking

Topic: U.S. Laws Related to Cybercrime

CEH v13 Study Guide states:

“Email-based frauds such as phishing, spoofing, and other social engineering attacks fall under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. §1030), which criminalizes unauthorized access and fraudulent behavior in computing systems.”

Incorrect Options:

B: Relates to credit cards and access devices.

C: Covers interference with government communication systems.

D: Covers illegal wiretapping and eavesdropping.
