Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) — Question 479

Which of the following attack types can be used to compromise the integrity of data during transmission?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Session hijacking is an attack where an attacker takes over a session between two parties, allowing them to manipulate or alter the data being transmitted, thus compromising its integrity. Synchronization flooding, keylogging, and packet sniffing do not directly compromise data integrity during transmission; instead, they may capture information or disrupt connections without altering the data itself.
