Question

 

 

Security_SIM.jpg

[am4show have=’p2;’]RouterA and SwitchA have been configured to operate in a private network which will connect to the Internet. you have been asked to review the configuration prior to cabling and implementation.
This task requires the use of various commands to access and check the running configuration of the two devices. No configuration changes are necessary (and the configuration command has been disabled for these two devices).[/am4show]

Maybe this is the configurations on Router and Switch (but notice that they are surely missing something):

ROUTER A CONFIGURATION

!
no service password-encryption
!
enable password cisco
!
username ciscouser privilege 15 password 0 cisco
!
banner motd ^CWelcome! If you encountered any problem, please consult the administrator^C
!
line vty 0 4
password 4t&34rkf
login local
transport input telnet ssh
!

SWITCH A CONFIGURATION

!
!
no service password-encryption
!
hostname switch1
enable password cisco
username ciscouser password 0 cisco
ip domain-name cisco.com

banner login ^c
************ welcome to Switch1. If you encountered any problem, please consult the administrator ************* ^c

line con 0
!
line vty 0 4
login local
transport input ssh
line vty 5 15
login local
transport input ssh

Note: This is just what we gather and guess. In the exam the configurations may be different so make sure you understand about “enable secret”, “enable password”, “login”, “login local”, “transport input”, “line vty”, “service password-encryption”, “bannder motd”, “privilege” before taking this exam!

You can download Packet Tracer file of this teslet here.

This sim has 4 questions:

Question 1

[am4show have=’p2;’]Which of the following is true regarding the configuration of SwitchA?

A. only 5 simultaneous remote connections are possible
B. remote connections using ssh will require a username and password
C. only connections from the local network will be possible
D. console access to SwitchA requires a password

 

Answer: B[/am4show]

Explanation

There are 16 VTY lines (from 0 to 4 and 5 to 15) so there are more than 5 simutaneous remote connections can be made at the same time -> A is not correct.
There is no restriction on on the Switch so remote networks can connect to this switch -> C is not correct.
There is no config under “line con 0” so console access to this switch does not require a passowrd -> D is not correct.
All 16 VTY lines are configured to access via SSH only and all of them require a password. The difference is in the “line vty 0 4” configuration, the type of login is specified as “login local”. It means that the switch will not use the password configured under “line vty 0 4” (in this case none was set but it will use the user & password configured in “username ciscouser password 0 cisco” command -> B is correct.

Question 2

[am4show have=’p2;’]Which two of the following are true regarding the configuration of RouterA? (choose two)

A. at least 5 simultaneous remote connect are possible
B. only telnet protocol connections to Router A are supported
C. remotely connection to RouterA using telnet will succeed
D. console line connection will never time out due to inactivity
E. since DHCP is not used on Fa0/1 there is not a need to use the NAT protocol

 

Answer: A C[/am4show]

Explanation

A is correct as we can telnet from line 0 to line 4 (line vty o 4).

We can use both telnet and SSH to connect to this router (transport input telnet ssh) -> B is not correct.

C is correct as we can telnet to it.

D is not correct because by default, the timeout is set to 10 minutes on both the console and the vty ports.

E is not correct as NAT can be used even DHCP is not used.

Question 3

[am4show have=’p2;’]Select the options which are security issues which need to be modified before RouterA is used. (Choose two)

A. unencrypted weak password is configured to protect privilege mode
B. inappropriate wording in banner message
C. the virtual terminal lines have weak password configured
D. virtual terminal lines have a password, but it will not be used
E. configuration supports in-secure web server access

 

Answer: B D[/am4show]

Explanation

Privilege mode on RouterA is protected with unencrypted password (via “enable password” command). Although this is a good choice but it is not the answer Cisco wants. Answer B is a correct answer instead. This can be explained by this way:

The wording in the banner is inappropriate as it “Welcomes” you to the network. If you are gaining unauthorised access to the device, the first thing you will see is a banner welcoming you. Apparently there has been a case (or cases) where a hacker has used this as a legal defence for gaining illegitimate access to the device. The banner should say something along the lines of “NO UNAUTHORISED ACCESS”.

The password of VTY lines is “4t&34rkf”. Although it is unencrypted but it is not a weak password because it has number & special characters inside -> C is not correct.

Although a password of “4t&34rkf” is configured but with the command “login local”, router will use the username of “ciscouser” & password of “cisco” (configured in “username ciscouser privilege 15 password 0 cisco” command) -> D is correct.

By checking the configuration of routerA with the “show run” command. To support web server access it must have the command “ip http server” but it does not -> E is not correct.

Question 4

[am4show have=’p2;’]Select three options which are security issues with the current configuration of Switch A. (Choose three)

A. privilege mode is protected with an unencrypted password
B. inappropriate wording in banner message
C. virtual terminal lines are protected only by a password requirement
D. both the username and password are weak
E. telnet connections can be used to remotely manage the switch
F. Cisco user will be granted privilege level 15 by default

 

Answer: A B D[/am4show]

Explanation

The command “no service password-encryption” exists so the password to access privilege mode is not encrypted -> A is correct.

With the “login local” command the VTY lines will require both username and password -> C is not correct.

The username and password are easy to guess as they have common words like “cisco” and “user” -> D is correct.

In all VTY lines only SSH is allowed with the “transport input ssh” -> E is not correct.

To grant privilege level of 15 by default the following commands are required:

line vty 0 4
privilege level 15

or these lines:

username ciscouser privilege 15 password cisco

and

login local (in “line vty 0 4”)

but none can be found so F is not correct.

    Yup this was in the test today too

    Answer to:

    “Question 3

    Select the options which are security issues which need to be modified before RouterA is used (not sure how many answers we can choose)

    A. unencrypted weak password is configured to protect privilege mode
    B. inappropriate wording in banner message
    C. the virtual terminal lines have weak password configured
    D. virtual terminal lines have a password, but it will not be used
    E. configuration supports in-secure web server access”

    ..should be A, B and D
    A -> this is obvious, the priviledge exec password is cisco, weak password
    B -> True. “Welcome..blah blah” is highly inappropriate for a security environment! You do not welcome people for such devices! It should be something like “Unauthorizes access strictly prohibited!!”
    D -> because ‘login local’ command has been issued. the username password pair will be used instead of the specified ‘4t&34rkf’ password.

    Hope this helps someone..

    Passed my ICND1 today with a 899, this testlet was on it. I had one that went something like:

    line vty 0 4
    transport input ssh (in the show run)
    login local

    Telnet connections will be allowed to this device – This is false because as you can see, ssh is the only terminal connection allowed.

    @Nimal

    OK the answer to Question 3 is A,B,D, but what is the correct answer to Question 1,2, and 4?
    I know this security testlet is on most exams so please somebody let me know the correct answer.

  5. Nimal

    First of all learn the conecpts properly. You are not going to go anywhere with the exams just by studying the questions.
    If you understand concepts, Q1 & Q2 are easy and you’ll know the answers provided above are actually correct. if not, go back and learn the concepts first and practice a few labs. CBT nuggets is a great resource.

    Regarding Q4, you can see this question cannot really be answered by looking at the the output provided above which is INCOMPLETE. I suggest you build a simulation lab using PT or GNS3 and try it instead.
    At the exam the full running-confing will be available to you by running ‘sh run’ command and it will be upto you to figure out the security issues.. But try this with packet tracer or any other sim and understand basic security principles by yourself. It’s really easy

    I passed ICND1 on 20th may and the output of the show running-config i got for this testlet was different. So were some of the answers. So that’s why you gotto understand the concepts and then practice so you’ll be really ready whatever the exam throws at you.

    June 17th, 2013

    This was on my exam, the banner DID NOT say welcome, also, various answer options were slightly different. I passed with a 960, the couple that I did miss I am pretty sure were from this security testlet, as it is pretty confusing.

    Hi all,
    I passed today with 1000. I did get this security question. The config was different but the questions were similar. I had a motd banner which I picked as a risk in both the router and switch questions which obviously was correct. It really depends on the show run output and ruling out any other less suitable options but in my case the banner risk was the correct answer.
    Good Luck!

    Took ICND 1 as a bet for co worker. I’ve been a network engineer for over 6 years. Sometimes you have to go back to the basics to see if you still got it lol. Passed my ICND 1. 890/1000. You need a 804 to pass. The security Testlet was on my exam along with the drag and drop items. One drag and drop item that is not on 9tut is ATM-Cell Switched PSTN-Circuit switched Frame-Packet switched Leased Line- Point to Point. Study Materials were Todd Lammle CCNA videos 6th edition and 9tut only. Good Luck.

    Identify security threats on RouterA (select 3)

    A. unencrypted password set
    B. unsecured message on banner
    C. remote access can only be made through telnet or SSH
    D. user gets level 15 automatically by default
    ——————————————————————————————
    Question1 Explanation:

    Because the “service password-encryption” is not set on RouterA so the password to access privileged mode (via the command “enable password cisco”) is unencrypted. Also, the password for VTY is unencrypted (notice that the password “cis@clr!” is in fact unencrypted).

    The banner is not appropriate and provides information on the router, which can be considered as a security threat. The banner login, is supposed to be a permanent “do not enter if you dont belong message”.

    In the “line vty 0 4? configuration, the password is not encrypted.

    B. only telnet protocol connections to Router A are supported
    C. remotely connection to RouterA using telnet will succeed
    D. console line connection will never time out due to inactivity
    E. Console password is encyrpted

    Answer A & C

    Question2 Explanation:

    A is correct as we can telnet from line 0 to line 4 (line vty 0 4).
    We can use both telnet and SSH to connect to this router. B is not correct.
    C is correct as we can telnet to it.
    D is not correct because by default, the timeout is set to 10 minutes on both the console and the vty ports.
    E is not correct as NAT Console password is not encrypted

    Select three options which are security issues with the current configuration of Switch A. (Choose three)

    A. privilege mode is protected with an unencrypted password
    B. inappropriate wording in banner message
    C. virtual terminal lines are protected only by a password requirement
    D. both the username and password are weak
    E. telnet connections can be used to remotely manage the switch
    F. Cisco user will be granted privilege level 15 by default

    Answer B,C & D

    Option A is not relevant as no password is configured for privilege mode.
    Option B is correct. The wording in the banner is not appropriate. It should typically read something like “do not enter if you dont belong message”.
    Option C is also correct. Virtual terminal lines are protected only by a password requirement.
    telnet connections can be used to remotely manage the switch. (see, line vty 5 15 , and login)
    Option D is also correct. Telnet connections on the switch can be accessed remotely.
    Option E is not correct as the user will only be granted privilege level 15 if configured.

    “Passed, thank God!!! After passing 640-822, can I take 200-101 to get ccna? Sent the question to Cisco, but I know the reply will take a few days.”

    The answer is yes. Any combination of ICND1 and ICND2 will award you with a CCNA! However the older exams are easier, GO FOR ICND2 640-816 before September 30th!!

    March 2nd, 2014

    Regarding Q4, maybe “inappropriate wording” is also correct? In CBTNuggets course Jeremy discuses similar banner motd, saying that if you put “Welcome” it’s as if you were inviting anyone to log in (or hack) freely.

  37. el diablo en el ojo
    March 3rd, 2014

    Passed ICND1 today. I had “ip http-server” inside conf of router A, so “unsecure web access enabled” is correct as well.

  38. correction
    March 11th, 2014

    Question 3 from august 13 post answers should be BEF (one about the switch, not router)

    B. Inappropriate wording in banner. Welcome can be seen as an invitation to come in and is a legal no no

    E. Telnet connections can be used to remotely manage switch. lines vty 0 4 have the no login command which means no login required. they simply need type telnet A.B.C.D and they are granted access to that device. lines 5-15 have the login command which automatically disables them until a password command has been set which it has not.

    F. Cisco users will be granted level 15 by default. level 15 is priveledge exec mode which is what you are granted when you type enable. Since there is no enable secret or enable password command, BY DEFAULT a user is GRANTED ACCESS to this level. I admit i think this one is poorly worded cause at first reading it sounds like its saying you are instantly granted level 15/priv exec mode access when you come in.

    A C D are all wrong as they all refer to passwords in some manner. No where in the output is a single password configured.

    I would suggest that you should know this security let, ospf sim and show commands sim by heart. Once you are in the exam try to be focused and don’t panic about time. Time is more than enough if you know your stuff. Read the questions answer million times so when yo read them in the exam. You will know the answer in less than a second. There were 3 labs for me.

    3 sims: OSPF Neighbor Sim \ Show Configuration Sim \ Security Testlet Sim

    My advice is study, study, study, learn the material and don’t rely on just passing the test. Cisco is exiting technology just learn it!!

    I used:
    CBT Nuggets – I watch the entire series once a week for about a month and that really helped me to learn the concepts. Use Google search and YouTube for all your questions.

    June 17th, 2014

    Hi Everyone,
    I am taking my exam tomorrow. Just want to know – for the security testlet, do you have to configure Router A and switch A (the 2 blocks on top) or only answer the questions related to it?

    My guess is , configure it myself – just making sure 🙂

    will let you know after the exam how it went.

    Hello, I took the INCD1 on 6-16 and the question I ahd didn’t have welcome, but something like “Thanks for logging into Switch A” and for the router it had “Thanks for logging into Router A” Now if they have the name of the router in this wouldn’t the banner be an issue?

    Hello please dont forget in the past a hacker was free because some banner said “welcome ….” in the CBT nuggets talk about this is a big issue !!!!

    There seems to be a discrepancy in your answer guidance. When using your security testlet it indicates that banner messages have inappropriate wording. Yet in the answers on Q1 here the inappropriate wording answer is classified as a wrong answer.

    July 2nd, 2014

    I’m pretty sure that B is correct in Q1. I’ve passed exam today. I’ve answered this question according to 9tut and this was the only question where I’ve lost points. Jeremy Cioara in CBTNuggets said clearly, you shouldn’t write “Welcome” in banner login or motd because it invites to break in.
    Anyway thanks 9tut for this tutorial! It contains almost every question I’ve got today. I’m sending a donation.

    Hi,

    I passed today. with 1000/1000. I marked “unsecured message on banner” for both the switch and router. Therefore, please note this is the right answer.

  73. Adeoritoke

    July 13th, 2014

    Question 2 (which I got wrong pretty sure) the router had “no login” set for it’s vty lines instead of “login local” as this shows. This caused me to pick A and D as wasn’t familiar with “no login” (which means no password is required). What bonehead would even enter that? Anyways I had a feeling there was a default timeout for the lines but picked it anyway as I didn’t know “no login”. Remember “Knowing is half the battle”.

  80. jskizel12
    July 30th, 2014

    So on question 1 if unsecured message on banner is correct what are the other two correct answers? I know that by default level 15 is selected and remote access can only be made through telnet or ssh but an unecrypted password is also set since you can clearly see what the password is. Help?

  81. Tark
    July 31st, 2014

    This dump is confusing, what are the correct answers here because all 4 canbe a threat?

    Question 1

    Identify security threats on RouterA (select 3)

    A. unencrypted password set
    B. unsecured message on banner
    C. remote access can only be made through telnet or SSH
    D. user gets level 15 automatically by default

    A as discussed here is correct, B is also correct, making remote access through telnet sends password in plain text, potentially correct, level 15 is enable level so is correct? Which is wrong?

  82. Tark
    July 31st, 2014

    Thinking about it, maybe A is the incorrect answer as even though the password is not encrypted, it is still a strong password.

    I passed the exam today 1000/1000, all 9tut questions are valid, and also the sims (OSPF 6router 1sw, security sim, and show sim)

    material used:
    -cbt nuggets
    -9tut
    -vce exams

    This security sim was different on my exam today, same idea different config and answers. All you have to do is understand the concepts and you will be good.

    Gave my test today got 973 …this question was on it amidst the confusion before i forget ..the simulation is the same …with you having to enter router A and switch A and do the sh run command to see the running config……the questions and answers have slight diff variation

    The router and switch confif have”no login commands instead of what is mentioned above”…..so any attempt to telnet gets straight entry to the user mode where it will ask the password and username….which is a correct option in the answers

    in Q1: option C is > remote access can only be made through Telnet(“see ssh is not included so hence this option is automatically wrong”)

    extra option E is right as mentioned above along with the unsecure banner…..so in short the right options are unsecure banner and option E saying any attempt to telnet will get straight access to user mode password and username…

    PS: i choose those two and have a 100% on that section so go for it ….if you feel its right but again it might vary with your questions so good luck everyone

    If you believe The transcender, for question 4, B is a correct answer. Basically, a hacker could make the argument that they were invited in so it is a security issue.

    Why in earth would you brainiacs intentionally compromise a test, risking your own certifications, and make it easier for someone to pass without knowing all the information they should, which puts networks and data (possibly your own, remember)? Just love of cheating and breaking the rules? Getting one over in “the man?”

    A – at least 5 simultaneous remote connect are possible on Router A ?

    That should be wrong. At maximum 5 connections not at least.

    Can you double check?

    Question 2

    Which two of the following are true regarding the configuration of RouterA (choose two)

    A. at least 5 simultaneous remote connect are possible

    Answer: A C

    line vty 0 4
    password 4t&34rkf
    login local
    transport input telnet ssh

    If it 0-6 I would understand if somebody would say “at least five connections”. But in this case 5 is the maximum.

    Thank you replying.

    !
    no service password-encryption
    !
    hostname Router1
    enable secret 5 $1$14mlkm52….
    ip domain-name cisco.com
    ip ssh version 2
    !
    !

    banner login ^c
    ************ welcome to router1 If you encountered any problem, please consult the administrator ************* ^c
    !
    line con 0
    password cisco
    line vty 0 4
    password 4thfcvcf
    no login
    transport input telnet ssh

    for switch
