Question

You are an Ethical Hacker who is auditing the ABC company. When you verify the NOC one of the machines has 2 connections, one wired and the other wireless. When you verify the configuration of this Windows system you find two static routes. route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 route add 0.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 199.168.0.1 What is the main purpose of those static routes?

Options

  • ABoth static routes indicate that the traffic is external with different gateway.

Why each option

Two static routes are configured to split traffic: internal RFC 1918 addresses route through an internal gateway, while all other traffic uses an external gateway.

ABoth static routes indicate that the traffic is external with different gateway.

The 10.0.0.0/8 network is an RFC 1918 private address space, so the first route is internal, not external.

BThe first static route indicates that the internal traffic will use an external gateway and the second

Gateway 10.0.0.1 falls within the 10.0.0.0/8 private range, making it an internal gateway, not an external one.

CBoth static routes indicate that the traffic is internal with different gateway.

Gateway 199.168.0.1 is a public routable IP address used as the default external gateway, so both routes are not internal.

DThe first static route indicates that the internal addresses are using the internal gateway and theCorrect

The first route 'route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1' directs all Class A private (RFC 1918) traffic to the internal gateway 10.0.0.1. The second route 'route add 0.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 199.168.0.1' is a default route that sends all remaining (external/internet-bound) traffic through the external gateway 199.168.0.1. Together they implement split-tunnel routing on a dual-homed host.
