Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 294
As a Computer Hacking Forensics Investigator, you are tasked with tracing a series of illegal transactions believed to originate from the dark web. You know the transactions were made using Tor, a browser providing anonymity. However, in an authoritarian country where the usage of the Tor network is restricted, the suspect is believed to be using an undisclosed Tor network feature to bypass these restrictions. What feature is likely being used in this scenario?
Answer options
- A. Exit Relay
- B. Entry/Guard Relay
- C. Tor Bridge Node
- D. Middle Relay
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is C, Tor Bridge Node, as it allows users to connect to the Tor network even in environments where access to it is restricted. Exit Relays (A) are used for sending traffic out of the Tor network, Entry/Guard Relays (B) are the first point of entry into the network, and Middle Relays (D) facilitate the transfer of data within the network, but none of these help in bypassing restrictions like a Bridge Node does.
