CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 257

A company is experiencing a DDoS attack. Several internal workstations are the source of the traffic. Which of the following types of infections are the workstations most likely experiencing? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Zombies
• B. Keylogger
• C. Adware
• D. Botnet
• E. Ransomware
• F. Spyware

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A (Zombies) and D (Botnet) because these terms refer to compromised machines that can be controlled remotely to generate malicious traffic, often used in DDoS attacks. The other options, such as keyloggers, adware, ransomware, and spyware, do not primarily relate to generating large volumes of outbound traffic for DDoS purposes.
