Implementing Cisco Cybersecurity Operations (SECOPS, legacy) — Question 7

Which of the following is not an example of weaponization?

Answer options

• A. Connecting to a command and control server
• B. Wrapping software with a RAT
• C. Creating a backdoor in an application
• D. Developing an automated script to inject commands on a USB device

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Connecting to a command and control server is typically part of the command and control phase, rather than weaponization itself. In contrast, wrapping software with a RAT, creating a backdoor, and developing an automated script for USB command injection all involve manipulating software or systems to exploit vulnerabilities, which are direct examples of weaponization.
