ITPEC IP October 2019 Question 40
ITPEC IP October 2019 — Question 40 of 100
The three descriptions are cross-site scripting, a bot, and a Trojan horse. Injected browser-executed script is XSS; remotely instructed malware participating in coordinated attacks is a bot; and malicious software disguised as a useful program is a Trojan horse.
Answer (b)
Why not others:
- a targeted attack describes a campaign aimed at a selected organization or person, not the injected-script behavior in (i)
- Trojan horse and bot cannot be exchanged because disguise defines the former while remote command defines the latter
Key rule: Identify threats by behavior: XSS runs injected scripts in browsers, bots obey command-and-control, and Trojans hide malicious functions inside an apparently useful program.
