CEH v13 Domain 9.1 Practice Test 001
10 questions • 8 single-answer, 2 multi-select
CEH v13 (312-50v13) • Domain 9: Cryptography — Sub-Domain 9.1: Cryptography
Question 1
An ethical hacker is analyzing encrypted traffic captured from a network. The encryption uses the same key for both encryption and decryption operations. Which type of cryptographic system is being used in this scenario?
    Question 2
    During a penetration test, a tester captures password hashes from a compromised system and attempts to recover the original passwords using precomputed tables. What technique is the tester using?
      Question 3
      A security analyst observes that a system is using MD5 to store user passwords. Why is this considered insecure in modern environments?
        Question 4
        An attacker intercepts encrypted communication and attempts to decrypt it by trying every possible key until the correct one is found. What type of attack is this?
          Question 5
          A penetration tester is evaluating SSL/TLS implementation and discovers that the server supports outdated protocols such as SSLv3. What is the primary risk associated with this configuration?
            Question 6
            Select all that apply
            An ethical hacker is analyzing password storage mechanisms. Which TWO practices significantly improve password security? (Choose two)
              Question 7
              A digital certificate is used to verify the identity of a website. Which component of the certificate ensures that it was issued by a trusted authority?
                Question 8
                An attacker captures an encrypted message and later retransmits it to trick the receiver into performing an action again. What type of cryptographic attack is this?
                  Question 9
                  A penetration tester identifies that a web application uses predictable initialization vectors (IVs) in its encryption scheme. What vulnerability does this introduce?
                    Question 10
                    Select all that apply
                    A security team is implementing cryptographic controls. Which TWO techniques help ensure data integrity? (Choose two)
