Question

A disadvantage to the Passive Network Analysis model is: It does not interact with the network to discover hosts and vulnerabilities Little to no testing is required Limited visibility into vulnerabilities Discovery is continuous Active Scanning uses software that generates and sends packets on the network to mimic the activities of hackers. True False Which one is not an advantage of Active Scanning? Highly Scalable Targets have to be on the network or they are not scanned Potentially support any network device Can provide incremental information regardless of platform support SCAP tries to standardize the integration of all of the following vulnerability data except for which one? CSVV CVE CPE NVD

Explanation / Answer

Ques 5 ) : Limited visibility into vulnerabilities.

Because,  passive scanners are limited to looking at existing traffic, they suffer in terms of overall completeness and accuracy.They can also be easily fooled and tricked.

Ques 6 ) : True.

Because, active scanners are better then passive scanners, they are specialized in system inventory information and vulnerability data and they use a s/w by which they can generate and send packet to a network to mimic the activities of a hacker.

Ques 7 ) : Targets have to be on the network or they are not scanned.

Because unlike passive scanning it does not gathers information about the other hosts by being on the network so if a target is beyond the reach or out of network, it cannot get scanned by an active scanner.

Ques 8 ) : CPE
