RestrictAnonymous setting from 0 to 1 on your servers. This, as you were told, would
prevent
anonymous users from establishing a null session on the server. Using Userinfo tool
mentioned at the seminar, you succeed in establishing a null session with one of the servers.
Why is that?
A. RestrictAnonymous must be set to "2" for complete security
, B. RestrictAnonymous must be set to "3" for complete security
C. There is no way to always prevent an anonymous null session from establishing
D. RestrictAnonymous must be set to "10" for complete security

C - Correct Answer- You are the security analyst working for a private company out of
France. Your current assignment
is to obtain credit card information from a Swiss bank owned by that company. After initial
reconnaissance, you discover that the bank security defenses are very strong and would take
too
long to penetrate. You decide to get the information by monitoring the traffic between the
bank and
one of its subsidiaries in London. After monitoring some of the traffic, you see a lot of FTP
packets
traveling back and forth. You want to sniff the traffic and extract usernames and passwords.
What
tool could you use to get this information?
