ECCouncil 412-79 Question Answer

Terri works for a security consulting firm that is currently performing a penetration test on First National Bank in Tokyo. Terri's duties include bypassing firewalls and switches to gain access to the network. Terri sends an IP packet to one of the company's switches with ACK bit and the source address of her machine set. What is Terri trying to accomplish by sending this IP packet?

Poison the switch's MAC address table by flooding it with ACK bits

Enable tunneling feature on the switch

Trick the switch into thinking it already has a session with Terri's computer

Crash the switch with a DoS attack since switches cannot send ACK bits
