Understanding Cisco Cybersecurity Fundamentals (SECFND, legacy) — Question 53

What is the primary goal of an attacker when using an iFrame or HTTP 302 cushioning?

Answer options

• A. help the user find the correct web page location
• B. ensure that the victim's web browser ends up on the attacker's web page, which serves out the malicious exploit to the victim
• C. offer a secure transaction in a web page
• D. protect against malware infiltration

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because attackers use iFrames or HTTP 302 redirects to manipulate the victim's browser into visiting their malicious site, where exploits are served. Options A, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest intentions of assistance, security, or protection, which do not align with the malicious objectives of an attacker.
