CertNexus Certified Cyber Secure Coder (CSC) — Question 73

An unauthorized network scan may be detected by parsing network sniffer data for:

Answer options

• A. IP traffic from a single IP address to multiple IP addresses.
• B. IP traffic from a single IP address to a single IP address.
• C. IP traffic from multiple IP addresses to a single IP address.
• D. IP traffic from multiple IP addresses to other networks.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because unauthorized network scans typically involve multiple source IP addresses targeting a single destination IP address, which is a common pattern for such scans. Options A and B suggest either single or limited targeting, while D indicates traffic to other networks, which doesn't specifically highlight the scanning behavior.
