Security Fundamentals — Question 56

What is a common method for password collection?

Answer options

• A. Email attachments
• B. Back door intrusions
• C. SQL Injection
• D. Network sniffers

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Network sniffers are tools that capture data packets traveling over a network, making them effective for collecting passwords. In contrast, email attachments can carry malware but are not a direct method for password collection. Back door intrusions involve unauthorized access but do not specifically pertain to collecting passwords. SQL Injection is a method used to manipulate databases rather than to directly collect passwords.
