Check Point Certified Security Master (CCSM) R80 — Question 2

is defined as a method of:

Answer options

• A. Disguising an illegal IP address behind an authorized IP address through Port Address Translation.
• B. Hiding your firewall from unauthorized users.
• C. Detecting people using false or wrong authentication logins
• D. Making packets appear as if they come from an authorized IP address.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, refers to the practice of IP spoofing, which involves making packets look like they are sent from a legitimate source. Option A focuses on Port Address Translation, which is different from the concept of disguising packet origins. Option B discusses firewall concealment, which does not relate to packet identity. Option C addresses authentication issues rather than the method of masking IP addresses.
