Free Practice Questions for CrowdStrike CCFA-200 Exam

The most likely culprit causing multiple Windows hosts to be in Reduced Functionality Mode (RFM) is a patch that was pushed overnight to all Windows systems. RFM occurs when the sensor detects a change in the operating system that requires a reboot to complete. A patch is one of the common causes of such a change. The other options are either incorrect or not related to RFM. Reference: CrowdStrike Falcon User Guide, page 30.

The statement that some network configurations, such as deep packet inspection, interfere with certificate validation is true concerning Falcon sensor certificate validation. The Falcon sensor uses certificate pinning to defend against man-in-the-middle attacks, which means that it verifies that the server certificate presented by the Falcon cloud matches a hard-coded certificate embedded in the sensor. Some network configurations, such as deep packet inspection, SSL inspection, or HTTPS interception, may attempt to modify or replace the server certificate, which will cause the sensor to reject the connection and generate an error3.

The statement that is true about managing a user’s role is that you must be a Falcon Administrator. A Falcon Administrator is a role that has full access and control over all features and functions in Falcon, including user management. A Falcon Administrator can create, modify, delete, and assign roles to other users in Falcon. A Falcon Administrator can also re-use the account email for a new account, enable Falcon MFA (multi-factor authentication), and assign other roles such as Falcon Security Lead or Falcon Investigator2.

The Logon Activities Report shows a graphical view of user logon activity and the hosts the user connected to, but it only gives a summary of the last logon activity for users. It does not give a detailed list of all logon activity for users, nor can it be filtered by computer name. The other options are either incorrect or not true of the report. Reference: CrowdStrike Falcon User Guide, page 50.

The only place where create host groups is in " Host and setup management > host Groups> Create a group" In Sensor Update policies you can only asign a group of host to the policy not creating a group of hosts.

The information that the API Audit Trail Report provides is a list of actions taken via Falcon OAuth2-based APIs. The API Audit Trail Report allows you to view and audit the activity and usage of the Falcon APIs by different API clients and users in your organization. You can use this report to monitor who accessed what data, when, and how via the Falcon APIs2.

The report that can be used to determine if Script Based Execution Monitoring (SBEM) is not enabled on a Falcon host due to an old prevention policy is Prevention Policy Debug. The Prevention Policy Debug report allows you to view and compare the prevention policy settings applied to each host in your environment. You can use this report to identify any hosts that have outdated or inconsistent prevention policy settings, such as SBEM, which is a feature that monitors and prevents malicious script execution on Windows systems1.

The alignment of a particular prevention policy to one or more host groups can be completed in each policy in the “Assigned Host Groups” tab. This tab allows the administrator to select which host groups will use the policy, as well as view the number of hosts and sensors assigned to each group. The other options are either incorrect or not available. Reference: [CrowdStrike Falcon User Guide], page 34.

The Real Time Responder role allows users to use the “Connect to Host” feature to gather additional information from the host, such as running processes, registry keys, files, etc. The other roles do not have this capability. Reference: CrowdStrike Falcon User Guide, page 18.

 The way an API client secret can be viewed after it has been created is that the API client secret must be reset or a new client created as the secret cannot be viewed after it has been created. As explained in question 137, an API client secret is only displayed once during creation for security reasons. If you lose or forget your API client secret, you cannot view it again in the Falcon console. You have two options to resolve this issue: either reset your API client secret or create a new API client. Resetting your API client secret will generate a new secret for your existing API client, which will invalidate any previous secret. Creating a new API client will generate a new API client ID and secret, which will require you to update any applications or scripts that use the Falcon APIs2.
