Keystroke logging is the action of tracking (or logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored.

How will you defend against hardware keyloggers when using public computers and Internet Kiosks? (Select 4 answers)

A.

Alternate between typing the login credentials and typing characters somewhere else in the focus window

B.

Type a wrong password first, later type the correct password on the login page defeating the keylogger recording

C.

Type a password beginning with the last letter and then using the mouse to move the cursor for each subsequent letter.

D.

The next key typed replaces selected text portion. E.g. if the password is "secret", one could type "s", then some dummy keys "asdfsd".

Then these dummies could be selected with mouse, and next character from the password "e" is typed, which replaces the dummies

"asdfsd"

E.

The next key typed replaces selected text portion. E.g. if the password is "secret", one could type "s", then some dummy keys "asdfsd".

Then these dummies could be selected with mouse, and next character from the password "e" is typed, which replaces the dummies

"asdfsd"

After a client sends a connection request (SYN) packet to the server, the server will respond (SYN-ACK) with a sequence number of its choosing, which then must be acknowledged (ACK) by the client. This sequence number is predictable; the attack connects to a service first with its own IP address, records the sequence number chosen, and then opens a second connection from a forged IP address. The attack doesn't see the SYN-ACK (or any other packet) from the server, but can guess the correct responses. If the source IP address is used for authentication, then the attacker can use the one-sided communication to break into the server. What attacks can you successfully launch against a server using the above technique?

A.

Denial of Service attacks

B.

Session Hijacking attacks

C.

Web page defacement attacks

D.

IP spoofing attacks
