10 questions • Single best answer
Question 1
A threat intelligence analyst at a healthcare provider queries a domain's name servers, mail records, and subdomains directly to map an adversary's infrastructure. This involves interacting with the target systems. Which collection method is described?
    Question 2
    An MSSP analyst collects adversary information solely from search engines, public archives, and cached pages, never contacting the target's systems. This avoids any direct interaction. Which collection approach is this?
      Question 3

        Question 4
        A government CTI team plants deceptive data and monitors adversary attempts to access it, aiming to detect and mislead hostile collection efforts. This proactive discipline targets the opponent's own intelligence operations. What is it called?

                  Question 9
                  A threat intelligence analyst poses as a buyer on a criminal forum to elicit details about a ransomware crew's tooling directly from its members. The information comes from human interaction. Which collection source is this?
