Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) — Question 97

Item 2If you come across a sheepdip machine at your client site, what would you infer?

Answer options

• A. A sheepdip coordinates several honeypots
• B. A sheepdip computer is another name for a honeypot
• C. A sheepdip computer is used only for virus-checking.
• D. A sheepdip computer defers a denial of service attack

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a sheepdip machine is specifically designed to check for viruses before allowing a system to connect to a network. Option A is incorrect because a sheepdip does not coordinate honeypots, B is wrong as it does not equate a sheepdip with a honeypot, and D is inaccurate since it does not directly relate to preventing denial of service attacks.
