ECCouncil 312-50v13 Question Answer

A penetration tester is tasked with scanning a network protected by an IDS and firewall that actively blocks connection attempts on non-standard ports. The tester needs to gather information on the target system without triggering alarms. Which technique should the tester use to evade detection?

Use a low-and-slow scan to reduce detection by the IDS

Conduct a full TCP Connect scan to confirm open ports

Perform a SYN flood attack to overwhelm the firewall

Execute a TCP ACK scan to map firewall rules and bypass the IDS
