A non-credentialed scan can be valuable because it allows the scanner to see\r\nthe system from the same perspective that an attacker would see it. However, a non-credentialed\r\nscan does not typically produce the same level of detail as a credentialed scan.\r\nIn a credentialed scan, the security administrator authenticates to the system prior to starting the\r\nscan.

Compare the list of opened\r\nports with the list of ports allowed by your network design and security policy. Typically, a port is\r\nopened when a service starts or is configured on a device. Open ports for unused services expose\r\nthe server to attacks directed at that port.\r\nUse a packet sniffer to examine packets on the network. With a packet sniffer, you can identify\r\npackets directed towards specific ports, but you won't be able to tell if those ports are open.\r\nExamine system logs to look for events that have happened on a system, which might include a\r\nservice starting, but would not likely reflect open ports.\r\nAn intrusion detection system (IDS) is a special network device that can detect attacks and\r\nsuspicious activity. A passive IDS monitors, logs, and detects security breaches, but takes no\r\naction to stop or prevent the attack. An active IDS (also called an intrusion protection system or\r\nIPS) performs the functions of an IDS, but can also react when security breaches occur.","question_score_id":null,"lang":"","questionAudioPath":null},{"id":458004,"quiz_id":"23542","answer_id":null,"answerType_id":"0","created_at":"2018-05-12 01:27:41","updated_at":"2018-05-13 07:44:58","questionName":"A manager has told you she is concerned about her employees writing their passwords for\r\nwebsites, network files, and database resources on sticky notes.
