312-50V12 Real Exam Questions

You are a cybersecurity professional managing cryptographic systems for a global corporation. The company uses a mix of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) for key exchange and symmetric encryption algorithms for data encryption. The time complexity of ECC key pair generation is O(n^3), where 'n' is the size of the key. An advanced threat actor group has a quantum computer that can potentially break ECC with a time complexity of O((log n)^2). Given that the ECC key size is 'n=512' and varying symmetric encryption algorithms and key sizes, which scenario would provide the best balance of security and performance?

Ron, a security professional, was pen testing web applications and SaaS platforms used by his company. While testing, he found a vulnerability that allows hackers to gain unauthorized access to API objects and perform actions such as view, update, and delete sensitive data of the company. What is the API vulnerability revealed in the above scenario?

Jason, an attacker, targeted an organization to perform an attack on its Internet-facing web server with the intention of gaining access to backend servers, which are protected by a firewall. In this process, he used a URL https://xyz.com/feed.php?url=externalsite.com/feed/to to obtain a remote feed and altered the URL input to the local host to view all the local resources on the target server. What is the type of attack Jason performed in the above scenario?

This type of injection attack does not show any error message. It is difficult to exploit as it returns information when the application is given SQL payloads that elicit a true or false response from the server. By observing the response, an attacker can extract sensitive information. What type of attack is this?

A skilled ethical hacker was assigned to perform a thorough OS discovery on a potential target. They decided to adopt an advanced fingerprinting technique and sent a TCP packet to an open TCP port with specific flags enabled. Upon receiving the reply, they noticed the flags were SYN and ECN-Echo. Which test did the ethical hacker conduct and why was this specific approach adopted?
