Topic #: 7

What does this event log indicate?

Suggested Answer: D Vote an answer

The event log indicates a Parameter Tampering Attack. This type of attack involves the manipulation of parameters exchanged between the client and the server to alter application data, such as user credentials and permissions, product price and quantity, etc. The IDS log entries showing repeated access to the URL
"/OrderDetail.aspx?id=ORDR-001117" with varying order ID values suggest that the attacker is manipulating the 'id' parameter to potentially access or modify order details unauthorizedly.
References The EC-Council's Certified SOC Analyst (CSA) course materials and study guides discuss various types of cyber attacks, including Parameter Tampering, and their characteristics. Additionally, information on this type of attack can be found in resources provided by the OWASP Foundation1.
