Certified Incident Handler (ECIH) — Question 41

You are Harris working for a web development company. You have been assigned to perform a task for vulnerability assessment on the given IP address 20.20.10.26. Select the vulnerability that may affect the website according to the severity factor.
Hint: Greenbone web credentials: admin/password

Answer options

• A. TCP timestamps
• B. Anonymous FTP Login Reporting
• C. FTP Unencrypted Cleartext Login
• D. UDP timestamps

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, FTP Unencrypted Cleartext Login, as it poses a significant risk by allowing sensitive credentials to be transmitted in plain text, making them easily interceptable. Options A and D, TCP and UDP timestamps, do not directly expose sensitive information, while option B, Anonymous FTP Login Reporting, indicates a configuration issue but does not inherently compromise security like an unencrypted login does.
