Question 1

For the past month, the employees in the executive building have been getting adjusted to their new authentication systems. There was a large spike in help desk calls the first week, which has gone down daily, and now there are fewer login related calls than there was when the office used passwords alone.
During your weekly meeting with Orange, the authentication subject is discussed, "So far, the system is working well. Our call volume has dropped, and it seems that most people are getting used to the tokens. There is one issue, however."
"Really, what that?" you ask.
"It seems that the senior executives are not that keen on carrying the new tokens around with them. They are asking for a way to authenticate without carrying anything, but still have it be secure."
"All right, do we have a budget?"
"Yes, however there are not that many senior executives, so the cost isn't the primary issue; although we do want to keep the costs" down as much as possible."
"So, what limitations do I have?"
"Well you need to be sure it's easy to use, is unintrusive, won't require too much training, won't be all that expensive, and" provides for strong authentication." Orange tells you.
Based on this information, choose the best solution to the authentication problem for the senior executives on the fourth floor.}

A. You talk to several of the senior executives on the fourth floor and determine that many of these people are interested in a biometric solution, and that many of them have an interest in fingerprint authentication. They like the fact that they may be able to simply touch something by the computer and be authenticated.
You begin the configuration by installing a BioLink USB mouse, driver, and authentication software. You walk each person through the process of enrollment, and how to best use the scanner, and have each person test his or her system.
With the software installed, the mouse and driver installed, and with the fingerprint authentication testing and functional, you uninstall the token software and retrieve their tokens. You verify that everything works, and you move on to the next person system. B. You talk to two of the senior executives on the fourth floor and determine that these people are interested in a biometric solution, and that they have an interest in retinal authentication. They like the fact that they may be able to simply look at the computer and be authenticated.
Since they like this technology, you decide this is what you will implement. You configure each machine with the Panasonic Authenticam and authentication software. You then walk the executive through the process of enrollment, and have each person test his or her system.
With the software installed, the retinal scanner installed, and with the retinal authentication testing and functional, you uninstall the token software and retrieve their tokens. You verify that everything works, and you move on to the next person system. C. You talk to three of the senior executives on the fourth floor and determine that they disliked the tokens therefore you will install a new authentication system. The people you talked to didn say they would have problems with smart cards, so you decide tonew authentication system. The people you talked to didn say they would have problems with smart cards, so you decide to implement a smart card solution.
You configure each machine with a smart card reader and driver. You then create a local account for each user, and make that account use smart cards. You then assign a smart card to the account and load the user credentials on the card. You then walk the executive through the process of using the smart card, and have each person test his or her system.
With the software installed, the reader installed, and with the smart card authentication testing and functional, you uninstall the token software and retrieve their tokens. You verify that everything works, and you move on to the next person system. D. You talk to several of the senior executives on the fourth floor and determine that many of these people are interested in a biometric solution, and that many of them have an interest in voice authentication. They like the fact that they may be able to simply speak to the computer and be authenticated.
Since they like this technology, you decide this is what you will implement. You configure each machine with the Anovea software for voice authentication, and configure a microphone at each workstation. You then walk the executive through the process of enrollment, and have each person test his or her system.
With the software installed, the microphone installed, and with the voice authentication testing and functional, you uninstall the token software and retrieve their tokens. You verify that everything works, and you move on to the next person system. E.

Question 2

Now that you have MegaCorp somewhat under control, you are getting ready to go home for the night. You have made good progress on the network recently, and things seem to be going smoothly. On your way out, you stop by the CEO office and say good night. You are told that you will be meeting in the morning, so try to get in a few minutes early.
The next morning, you get to the office 20 minutes earlier than normal, and the CEO stops by your office, "Thanks for coming in a bit early. No problem really, I just wanted to discuss with you a current need we have with the network."
"OK, go right ahead." You know the network pretty well by now, and are ready for whatever is thrown your way.
"We are hiring 5 new salespeople, and they will all be working from home or on the road. I want to be sure that the network stays safe, and that they can get access no matter where they are."
"Not a problem," you reply. "Il get the plan for this done right away."
"Thanks a lot, if you have any questions for me, just let me know."
You are relieved that there was not a major problem and do some background work for integrating the new remote users. After talking with the CEO more, you find out that the users will be working from there home nearly all the time, with very little access from on the road locations.
The remote users are all using Windows 2000 Professional, and will be part of the domain. The CEO has purchased all the remote users brand new Compaq laptops, just like the one used in the CEO office, and which the CEO takes home each night; complete with DVD\CD-burner drives, built-in WNICs, 17" LCD widescreen displays, oversized hard drives, a gig of memory, and fast processing. wish I was on the road to get one of those, you think.
You start planning and decide that you will implement a new VPN Server next to the Web and FTP Server. You are going to assign the remote users IP Addresses: 10.10.60.100~10.10.60.105, and will configure the systems to run Windows 2000 Professional.
Based on this information, and your knowledge of the MegaCorp network up to this point, choose the best solution for the secure remote user needs:}

A. You configure the VPN clients first, by installing the VPN High Encryption Service Pack. With this installed, you configure the clients to use RSA, with 1024-bit keys. You configure a shortcut on the desktop that automatically uses the private\public key pair to communicate with the VPN Server, regardless of where the user is locally connected.
On the VPN Server, you also install the VPN High Encryption Service Pack, and configure 1024bit RSA encryption. You create five new user accounts, and grant them all remote access rights, using Active Directory Sites and Services. You configure the VPN service to send the server public key to the remote users upon the request to configure the tunnel. Once the request is made, the VPN server will build the tunnel, from the server side, to the client. B. You decide to start the configuration on the VPN clients. You create a shortcut on the desktop to connect to the VPN Server. Your design is such that the user will simply double-click the shortcut and the client will make the VPN connection to the server, using PPTP. You do not configure any filters on the VPN client systems.
On the VPN Server, you first configure routing and remote access for the new accounts and allow them to have Dial-In access. You then configure a static IP Address pool for the five remote users. Next, you configure the remote access policy to grant remote access, and you implement the following PPTP filtering:
Inbound Protocol 47 (GRE) allowed Inbound TCP source port 0, destination port 1723 allowed Inbound TCP source port 520, destination port 520 allowed Outbound Protocol 47 (GRE) allowed Outbound TCP source port 1723, destination port 0 allowed Outbound TCP source port 520, destination port 520 allowed C. You begin with configuring the VPN server, which is running Windows 2000 Server. You create five new accounts on that system, granting each of them the Allow Virtual Private Connections right in Active Directory Users and Computers. You then configure the range of IP Addresses to provide to the clients as: 10.10.60.100 through 10.10.60.105. Next, you configure five IPSec Tunnel endpoints on the server, each to use L2TP as the protocol.
Then, you configure the clients. On each system, you configure a shortcut on the desktop to use to connect to the VPN. The shortcut is configured to create an L2TP IPSec tunnel to the VPN server. The connection itself is configured to exchange keys with the user ISP to create a tunnel between the user ISP endpoint and the MegaCorp VPN Server. D. To start the project, you first work on the laptops you have been given. On each laptop, you configure the system to make a single Internet connection to the user ISP. Next, you configure a shortcut on the desktop for the VPN connection. You design the connection to use L2TP, with port filtering on outbound UDP 500 and UDP 1701. When a user double-clicks the desktop icon you have it configured to make an automatic tunnel to the VPN server.
On the VPN server, you configure the system to use L2TP with port filtering on inbound UDP 500 and UDP 1701. You create a static pool of assigned IP Address reservations for the five remote clients. You configure automatic redirection on the VPN server in the routing and remote access MMC, so once the client has connected to the VPN server, he or she will automatically be redirected to the inside network, with all resources available in his or her Network Neighborhood. E. You choose to configure the VPN server first, by installing the VPN High Encryption Service Pack and the HISECVPN.INF built-in security template through the Security Configuration and Analysis Snap-In. Once the Service pack and template are installed, you configure five user accounts and a static pool of IP Addresses for each account.
You then configure the PPTP service on the VPN server, without using inbound or outbound filters ?due to the protection of the Service Pack. You grant each user the right to dial into the server remotely, and move on to the laptops.
On each laptop, you install the VPN High Encryption Service Pack, to bring the security level of the laptops up to the same level as the VPN server. You then configure a shortcut on each desktop that controls the direct transport VPN connection from the client to the server.

Question 3

It has been quite some time since you were called in to address the network and security needs of MegaCorp. You feel good in what you have accomplished so far. You have been able to get MegaCorp to deal with their Security Policy issue, you have secured the router, added a firewall, added intrusion detection, hardened the Operating Systems, and more.
One thing you have not done however, is run active testing against the network from the outside. This next level of testing is the final step, you decide, in wrapping up this first stage of the new MegaCorp network and security system. You setup a meeting with the CEO to discuss.
"We have only one significant issue left to deal with here at MegaCorp," you begin. We need some really solid testing of our network and our security systems."
"Sounds fine to me, don't you do that all the time anyway? I mean, why meet about this?"
"Well, in this case, I'd like to ask to bring in outside help. Folks who specialize in this sort of thing. I can do some of it, but it is not my specialty, and the outside look in will be better and more independent from an outside team."
"What does that kind of thing cost, how long will it take?"
"It will cost a bit of money, it won't be free, and with a network of our size, I think it can be done pretty quick. Once this is done and wrapped up, I will be resigning as the full time security and network pro here. I need to get back to my consulting company full time. Remember, this was not to be a permanent deal. I can help you with the interview, and this is the perfect time to wrap up that transition."
"All right, fair enough. Get me your initial project estimates, and then I can make a more complete decision. And, Il get HR on hiring a new person right away."
Later that afternoon you talk to the CEO and determine a budget for the testing. Once you get back to your office, you are calling different firms and consultants, and eventually you find a consulting group that you will work with.
A few days later you meet with the group in their office, and you describe what you are looking for, and that their contact and person to report to is you. They ask what is off limits, and your response is only that they cannot do anything illegal, to which they agree and point out is written in their agreement as well.
With this outside consulting group and your knowledge of the network and company, review and select the solution that will best provide for a complete test of the security of MegaCorp.}

A. The consulting group has identified the steps it will follow in testing the network. You have asked to be kept up to date, and given an approximate schedule of events. You intend to follow along with the test, with weekly reports.
The consultants will start the process with remote network surveillance, checking to see what systems and services are available remotely. They will run both passive and active fingerprinting on any identified system. They will run customized vulnerability scanners on the identified systems, and follow that through with exploits, including new zero-day exploits they have written themselves.
They will next run scans on the router, firewall, and intrusion detection, looking to identify operating systems and configurations of these devices. Once identified, they will run customized scripts to gain access to these devices. Once they complete the testing on the systems, they will dumpster dive to identify any leaked information. B. The consulting group has identified the steps it will follow in testing the network. You have asked to be kept up to date, and given an approximate schedule of events. You intend to follow along with the test, with weekly reports.
The consultants surprise you with their initial strategy. They intend to spend nearly 100% of their efforts over the first week on social engineering and other physical techniques, using little to no technology. They have gained access to the building as a maintenance crew, and will be coming into the office every night when employees are wrapping up for the day.
All of their testing will be done through physical contact and informal questioning of the employees. Once they finish that stage, they will run short and direct vulnerability scanners on the systems that they feel will present weakness. C. The consulting group has identified the steps it will follow in testing the network. You have asked to be kept up to date, and given an approximate schedule of events. You intend to follow along with the test, with weekly reports.
The first thing the consultants will do is dumpster diving and physical surveillance, looking for clues as to user information and other secret data that should not be outside of the network. Once they have identified several targets through the dumpster diving, they will run scans to match up and identify the workstations for those users.
After identifying the user workstations, they will run vulnerability checks on the systems, to find holes, and if a hole is found they have been given permission to exploit the hole and gain access of the system.
They will attempt to gain access to the firewall and router remotely, via password guessing, and will test the response of the network to Denial of Service attacks. Finally, they will call into MegaCorp to see what information they can learn via social engineering. D. The consulting group has identified the steps it will follow in testing the network. You have asked to be kept up to date, and given an approximate schedule of events. You intend to follow along with the test, with weekly reports.
The consultants will first run remote network surveillance to identify hosts, followed by port scans and both passive and active fingerprinting. They will then run vulnerability scanners on the identified systems, and attempt to exploit any found vulnerabilities.They will next scan and test the router and firewall, followed by testing of the IDS rules.
They will then perform physical surveillance and dumpster diving to learn additional information. This will be followed by password sniffing and cracking. Finally, they will call into MegaCorp to see what information they can learn via social engineering. E. The consulting group has identified the steps it will follow in testing the network. You have asked to be kept up to date, and given an approximate schedule of events. You intend to follow along with the test, with weekly reports.
The consultants have decided on a direct strategy. They will work inside the MegaCorp office, with the group introducing themselves to the employees. They will directly interview each employee, and perform extensive physical security checks of the network.
They will review and provide analysis on the security policy, and follow that with electronic testing. They will run a single very robust vulnerability scanner on every single client and server in the network, and document the findings of the scan.

Question 4

You have now been involved in several major changes in the security of GlobalCorp, and specifically the Testbed campus. You have worked on the planning and design of the trusted network, you have worked on the initial rollout of the CA hierarchy, you have worked on assigning certificates to the end users and computers in the Executive building of the Testbed campus, and you have managed the implementation of secure email a critical service for GlobalCorp.
Blue has asked you to meet with the other administrative staff of the Testbed campus and discuss how the certificates will impact the organization. There are a total of about 40 people in the meeting, and you have decided that your primary focus during this meeting will be on encryption\cryptography.
Choose the best solution for providing the correct information to your administrative staff on how encryption\cryptography and digital certificates will be properly used in the network:}

A. You gather the administrative staff together in the conference room to discuss cryptography in the network. You begin your talk with the function of cryptography, in general, and then you move towards specific implementations in the GlobalCorp network.
You explain that public key cryptography is founded on math, and that the big picture fundamental point is that UserA has a pair of keys and UserB has a pair of keys. You explain that one key of each key pair is made available to the other users in the network. You illustrate this with an example of sending an encrypted message from UserA to UserB.
"We know, for example, that UserA wishes to send a message to UserB and wants that message to be secure. UserB will use the public key that UserA has made available to encrypt the message. Once encrypted, UserB will send the message over the network to UserA. UserA will then use the other key of the pair, the private key to decrypt the message," you explain to the group.
You further explain some of the common algorithms used in the network. You tell them that Diffie-Hellman was the first widely used private key algorithm, and that Diffie-Hellman itself is not used to secure messages, rather to exchange a symmetric key. You explain that RSA was another breakthrough in that it was a private key algorithm that was able to secure messages.
You then describe digital certificates and some of their features. You tell the group that digital certificates can be assigned to different entities, including users and computers. You state that these digital certificates include many options, for example an Issuer Field that holds the distinguished name of the entity that issued the certificate, and a Subject Field that holds the distinguished name of the person who has the private key that corresponds to the public key in the certificate.
