Implementing and Operating Cisco Security Core Technologies (SCOR) — Question 477

Which direction do attackers encode data in DNS requests during exfiltration using DNS tunneling?

Answer options

• A. outbound
• B. north-south
• C. east-west
• D. inbound

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as attackers typically send encoded data from their network to an external server, which is an outbound direction. The other options such as north-south and east-west refer to traffic patterns within a network rather than the specific direction of data exfiltration.
