Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 143

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 and malware before allowing devices to connect to a network. Option A is incorrect because a sheepdip does not coordinate honeypots; rather, it serves a different purpose. Option B mischaracterizes a sheepdip, as it is not synonymous with a honeypot. Option D is also wrong, as sheepdipping is not related to mitigating denial of service attacks.
