,Section A - Corporate Network Design AND IP Addressing

Q1.
In a corporate network proposal, a DMZ hosts a web server and a mail relay. Which
iptables rule set correctly implements a stateful firewall allowing inbound HTTP/HTTPS to
the web server and outbound SMTP from the mail relay, while blocking all other inbound
traffic?


A. -A INPUT -m state --state B. -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT; -A
ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT; -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT; -A
INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT; -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT; -A
INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT; -A INPUT -j DROP; -A OUTPUT -j ACCEPT
INPUT -j DROP; -A OUTPUT -m state
--state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j
ACCEPT; -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j
ACCEPT; -A OUTPUT -j DROP

C. -A INPUT -m state --state D. -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT; -A
NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT; -A INPUT INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT; -A
-p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT; -A INPUT -p INPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT; -A
tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT; -A INPUT -j INPUT -j DROP; -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport
DROP; -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25 -j 25 -j ACCEPT; -A OUTPUT -j DROP
ACCEPT; -A OUTPUT -j DROP
Correct: A - -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT; -A INPUT -p tcp
--dport 80 -j ACCEPT; -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT; -A INPUT -j DROP; -A
OUTPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT; -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 25
-j ACCEPT; -A OUTPUT -j DROP


Rationale:Option A correctly uses stateful tracking: allows established/related inbound and
outbound, explicitly permits new inbound web traffic and outbound SMTP, and drops
everything else. Option B incorrectly allows inbound SMTP (should be outbound only) and
allows all outbound. Option C incorrectly allows all new inbound. Option D lacks stateful rules
and blocks outbound established connections.

Q2.
You are designing a corporate network with a web server, database server, and
management workstation. Which server role placement minimizes attack surface while
ensuring necessary access?


A. Place the web server in the DMZ, the B. Place both the web and database servers
database server in the internal network, and in the DMZ, and restrict management
allow the web server to initiate connections access to the database server from the
to the database server on the database port. internal network.

C. Place the web server in the internal D. Place all servers in the internal network
network and the database server in the and rely on a host-based firewall on each
DMZ, with the database server initiating server to restrict external access.
connections to the web server.

Correct: A - Place the web server in the DMZ, the database server in the internal network,
and allow the web server to initiate connections to the database server on the database
port.


Rationale:Option A is the classic three-tier architecture: the web server is exposed in the
DMZ, while the database remains internal, with only necessary outbound connections from
the web server to the database. This limits the blast radius if the web server is compromised.
Options B and C expose the database unnecessarily. Option D fails to provide network-level
segregation.

Q3.
After configuring SSH key-based authentication, a user reports that they can still log in
with a password. Which of the following is the most likely cause, assuming the key is
correctly placed?


A. The sshd_config file has B. The sshd_config file has
'PasswordAuthentication yes' and 'PubkeyAuthentication no'.
'PubkeyAuthentication yes', but the user's
private key has incorrect permissions.

C. The user's public key is not in the D. The SSH server is using a different port
authorized_keys file. than specified in the client's config.
Correct: A - The sshd_config file has 'PasswordAuthentication yes' and
'PubkeyAuthentication yes', but the user's private key has incorrect permissions.


Rationale:Even with key authentication enabled, if PasswordAuthentication is also enabled
and the key is not being used (e.g., due to incorrect private key permissions), the server falls
back to password authentication. Option B would disable key auth entirely, but the user can
still use a password. Option C would prevent key auth, but the user would still be prompted
for a password. Option D is irrelevant to authentication method.

Q4.
Your corporate network uses a central log server (rsyslog). You need to forward all
auth.log entries from a client to the server over TCP with TLS encryption. Which
configuration is correct?


A. On the client, add '*.* @@logserver:514' B. On the client, add 'auth.* @logserver:514'
to /etc/rsyslog.conf and set 'StreamDriver' to to /etc/rsyslog.conf and rely on the default
'tls' in a module configuration. UDP transport for security.
