Cisco 350-701 Actual Questions

The target in a phishing attack is the endpoint, which is the device or system that the user interacts with, such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet. Phishing attacks aim to steal or damage sensitive data by deceiving people into revealing personal information like passwords and credit card numbers, or clicking on malicious links or attachments that can install malware on the endpoint. Phishing attacks can be delivered through various channels, such as email, phone, or text message, but they all rely on social engineering techniques to manipulate the user’s trust and curiosity. By compromising the endpoint, attackers can gain access to the user’s accounts, files, network, or other resources. Therefore, endpoint security is essential to prevent phishing attacks and protect the user’s data and identity. References:

Explanation

DTLS is used for delay sensitive applications (voice and video) as its UDP based while TLS is TCP based.

Therefore DTLS offers strongest throughput performance. The throughput of DTLS at the time of AnyConnect connection can be expected to have processing performance close to VPN throughput.

Explanation

SNMP polling can often be in the order of 5-10 minutes, CLIs are unstructured and prone to change which can often break scripts.

The traditional use of the pull model, where the client requests data from the network does not scale when what you want is near real-time data.

Moreover, in some use cases, there is the need to be notified only when some data changes, like interfaces status, protocol neighbors change etc.

Model-Driven Telemetry is a new approach for network monitoring in which data is streamed from network devices continuously using a push model and provides near real-time access to operational statistics. Referfence: telemetry

Explanation

Ping of Death (PoD) is a type of Denial of Service (DoS) attack in which an attacker attempts to crash,

destabilize, or freeze the targeted computer or service by sending malformed or oversized packets using a simple ping command.

A correctly-formed ping packet is typically 56 bytes in size, or 64 bytes when the ICMP header is considered,

and 84 including Internet Protocol version 4 header. However, any IPv4 packet (including pings) may be as large as 65,535 bytes. Some computer systems were never designed to properly handle a ping packet larger than the maximum packet size because it violates the Internet Protocol documented

Like other large but well-formed packets, a ping of death is fragmented into groups of 8 octets before

transmission. However, when the target computer reassembles the malformed packet, a buffer overflow can occur, causing a system crash and potentially allowing the injection of malicious code.
