To inspect exposed ports for running Docker containers, the recommended approach is to first retrieve container IDs using docker ps --quiet and then pass them to docker inspect. The --format option allows selective output of container configuration details, including port mappings. The command docker ps --quiet | xargs docker inspect --format ': Ports=' correctly extracts port information for each container. Options that include the --all flag or incorrect formatting are not valid for this inspection use case. Checking exposed ports is an important activity in the Operate and Monitor stage because unnecessary open ports increase the attack surface and may violate container security best practices. Regular inspection helps ensure that only required ports are exposed, supporting secure runtime operations.

Bandit is a Static Application Security Testing (SAST) tool developed specifically for analyzingPython source code. It scans Python scripts and applications to identify common security issues such as use of weak cryptography, hardcoded passwords, unsafe use of functions like eval, and insecure imports. Bandit works by parsing Python Abstract Syntax Trees (ASTs) and applying a set of security-focused rules. It does not support Java, Ruby, or C++ code, which require different static analysis tools tailored to their respective languages. By integrating Bandit with Jenkins during the Build and Test stage, Allen enables automated detection of Python-specific security flaws as soon as code changes are introduced. This shift-left approach reduces remediation costs, prevents vulnerable code from progressing further in the pipeline, and improves overall application security posture.

Sqreen provides runtime application self-protection (RASP) capabilities that allow teams to detect and respond to security threats in real time. Sqreen uses a structured automation mechanism called aplaybookto define how security events are handled. A playbook consists of three key components: atriggerthat detects suspicious or malicious behavior, asecurity responsethat defines what action Sqreen should take (such as blocking a request or flagging an attack), and anotificationthat sends alerts to external systems like Slack. The term “cookbook” is not used in Sqreen’s alerting and response model, making options A and B incorrect. Option C incorrectly uses the phrase “Alert a response” instead of “security response,” which does not accurately describe Sqreen’s configuration model. By using playbooks, Sqreen enables automated detection, response, and team notification during the Operate and Monitor stage, ensuring rapid awareness and collaboration when security incidents occur.

Running an SSH service inside Docker containers is considered a security anti-pattern because it increases the attack surface and complicates key and access management. Containers are designed to run a single primary process and be managed externally rather than accessed via SSH. The recommended solution is torun SSH on the host systemand use docker exec to interact with containers when administrative access is required. This approach eliminates the need to manage SSH keys inside containers, reduces exposure to brute-force attacks, and simplifies access control. The other options incorrectly suggest running SSH in inappropriate locations such as the registry, client, or build process, which do not address the core security concern. During the Operate and Monitor stage, minimizing unnecessary services within containers is critical to enforcing least privilege and maintaining a secure runtime environment.

The Gradle wrapper script used to execute all features in the BDD Security framework on Unix-like systems is ./gradlew. The dot-slash prefix indicates execution from the current directory, which is required when running scripts locally. Options using /gardlew or /gardlev imply incorrect paths or misspelled wrapper names. Executing ./gradlew without additional parameters runs the default task, which includes all configured features such as OWASP ZAP, Nessus, SSLyze, and Selenium tests. Running all features during the Build and Test stage provides comprehensive external security testing coverage, helping identify vulnerabilities without needing access to source code.
