EC-Council Certified Security Analyst (ECSA v10) — Question 3

The Rhythm Networks Pvt Ltd firm is a group of ethical hackers. Rhythm Networks was asked by their client Zombie to identify how the attacker penetrated their firewall. Rhythm discovered the attacker modified the addressing information of the IP packet header and the source address bits field to bypass the firewall.
What type of firewall bypassing technique was used by the attacker?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, HTTP Tunneling, as it allows attackers to encapsulate data within HTTP requests to bypass firewall restrictions. Options A, B, and D do not specifically involve modifying packet headers to achieve firewall evasion, making them incorrect in this context.
