Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

The traceroute shows that the traffic successfully passes through the application development network (192.168.2.1), to the server segment gateway (192.168.1.1), and reaches the serversegment firewall (192.168.4.1). However, it times out immediately after hitting 192.168.4.1, indicating that the traffic is being dropped or filtered at that firewall.

Because other users (outside of the application development segment) are able to SSH into the database server (192.168.1.9), the issue is not with the database server itself or the core network. This points to the server segment firewall blocking traffic originating from the application development subnet (192.168.2.0/24), which is a common practice in segmented network designs unless proper access rules are defined.

Relevant Extract from CompTIA CloudNetX CNX-001 Study Guide — under “Network Segmentation and Firewall Rules”:

“Firewalls between network segments may enforce security policies that restrict access based on source/destination IP and port. Lack of proper allow rules can result in blocked traffic even if routing is successful.”

Other options:

A. The core firewall is not in the traceroute path; it is irrelevant to this specific flow.

B. NSGs (Network Security Groups) apply to cloud workloads, but the behavior and hop-by-hop flow suggest it is a firewall-level issue, not NSG misconfiguration.

D. Bandwidth issues would typically show packet loss or high latency, not consistent timeouts at a specific hop.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

A. CI/CD pipelines — Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines allow automated and repeatable deployments of infrastructure and application code. This ensures consistency across environments and supports rapid, reliable updates to multiple environments simultaneously.

B. Public code repository — A public repository (e.g., GitHub, GitLab public projects) allows sharing code with the broader community of practice, enabling collaboration, peer review, and reuse. It supports version control and standardized deployment scripts (e.g., Terraform, Ansible).

Relevant Extract from CompTIA CloudNetX CNX-001 Study Guide — under “Infrastructure as Code and Automation Pipelines”:

“CI/CD pipelines enable automated, consistent deployments across environments, reducing manual configuration errors.”

“Public repositories facilitate code sharing and collaboration, supporting standardized infrastructure templates.”

Other options:

C. Deployment runbooks are static and not inherently automated.

D. Private repositories restrict sharing, conflicting with the requirement to share code.

E. Image deployment refers to server builds, not full network configuration.

F. Deployment guides are manual documents, not automation tools.

================================================

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Failing to log out of a privileged session on a shared device leaves that session accessible to the next user, potentially granting unauthorized access to administrative functions. This scenario aligns with privilege escalation, where an individual gains access to higher-level permissions than they are authorized to have.

Relevant Extract from CompTIA CloudNetX CNX-001 Study Guide — under “Access Control and Security Threats”:

“Privilege escalation occurs when a user gains elevated access rights, often due to misconfigurations or negligence, such as unattended administrative sessions.”

Other options:

A. IP spoofing involves falsifying source IP addresses.

B. Zero-day refers to unknown software vulnerabilities.

C. On-path attacks involve intercepting traffic, not session misuse on local devices.
