EC-Council CTIA Module 2.5 Practice Test 002

This practice test covers Module 2 (Cyber Threats and Attack Frameworks) Sub-module 5 (Indicators of Compromise).

These questions are inspired by the EC-Council CTIA exam and are designed to help you test your knowledge of cyber threat intelligence, threats and frameworks, and other related topics. Some questions require multiple correct answers.

These are not official exam questions or brain dumps. They are original scenario-based questions created to reflect the skills and knowledge tested in the CTIA exam.

EC-Council CTIA Module 2.5 Practice Test 002
10 questions • Single best answer
Question 1
An incident responder at a healthcare provider collects forensic artifacts proving a breach occurred, such as malicious IPs and file hashes. These observable evidence items confirm intrusion. What are these artifacts called?
    Question 2
    Among collected artifacts, a connection to a known malicious domain and a suspicious external IP stand out. Which IoC category do these belong to?
      Question 3
      An analyst finds a malicious registry key, an unexpected file hash, and a rogue process on an endpoint. Which IoC category covers these?
        Question 4
        Investigators identify a spoofed sender address, malicious attachment, and phishing subject line. Which IoC category fits these artifacts?
          Question 5
          A manager confuses two concepts. The attacker's specific malicious IP is one thing, while their broader method of phishing then moving laterally is another. The behavioral method is best called what?
            Question 6
            Using the Pyramid of Pain, an analyst notes that blocking a file hash barely inconveniences the adversary, who can trivially change it. Which indicator sits at the bottom, easiest to change?
              Question 7
              At the top of the same pyramid, denying these forces the adversary to fundamentally change behavior, causing the most pain. Which level is this?
                Question 8
                An indicator that cannot be broken into smaller parts, such as a single IP address or email, is classified as which type?
                  Question 9
                  Some indicators are produced by processing data rather than observed directly. A hash value or regular expression derived through computation is one example. Which type is this?
                    Question 10
                    Some indicators describe sequences of attacker activity rather than single artifacts. They combine multiple atomic and computed indicators into a pattern. Which type is this?
