What elements are required to properly execute a Process Timeline?
Answer : A
The Agent ID (AID) and the Target Process ID are the elements that are required to properly execute a Process Timeline. The Agent ID (AID) is a unique identifier for each host that has a Falcon sensor installed. The Target Process ID is the decimal representation of the process identifier for the process that you want to investigate. These two elements are used to query the cloud for the events related to the process on the host. The Agent ID (AID) only, the Hostname and Local Process ID, and the Target Process ID only are not sufficient to execute a Process Timeline.
Question 2
When performing a raw event search via the Events search page, what are Event Actions?
Answer : C
When performing a raw event search via the Events search page, Event Actions are pivotable workflows that allow you to perform various tasks related to the event or the host. For example, you can connect to a host using Real Time Response, run pre-made event searches based on the event type or name, or pivot to other investigatory pages such as host search, hash search, etc. Event Actions do not contain audit information log, summary of actions taken by the Falcon sensor, or the event name defined in the Events Data Dictionary.

You can choose from various templates that cover different use cases, such as suspicious PowerShell activity, network connections to risky countries, etc. You can also preview the search results of the template before scheduling the alert. You do not need to create the query for the alert, setup the email template for the alert, or create a new custom template, as these are already provided by the predefined templates.
Question 4
In which of the following stages of the Cyber Kill Chain does the actor not interact with the victim endpoint(s)?
Answer : B
Weaponization is the stage of the Cyber Kill Chain where the actor does not interact with the victim endpoint(s). Weaponization is where the actor prepares or packages the exploit or payload that will be used to compromise the target. This stage does not involve any communication or interaction with the victim endpoint(s), as it is done by the actor before delivering the weaponized content. Exploitation, Command & Control, and Installation are all stages where the actor interacts with the victim endpoint(s), either by executing code, establishing communication, or installing malware.
Question 5
You are reviewing a list of domains recently banned by your organization's acceptable use policy. In particular, you are looking for the number of hosts that have visited each domain. Which tool should you use in Falcon?
Answer : C
Bulk Domain Search is the tool that you should use in Falcon to review a list of domains recently banned by your organization's acceptable use policy and look for the number of hosts that have visited each domain. Bulk Domain Search is an Investigate tool that allows you to search for multiple domains at once and view their network connection events across all hosts in your environment. It shows information such as domain name, number of hosts visited, number of detections generated, etc. for each domain. Create a custom alert for each domain, Allowed Domain Summary Report, and IP Addresses Search are not tools that you should use for this purpose.
Question 6

Answer : D
A threat hunting framework is a methodology that guides threat hunters in planning, executing, and improving their threat hunting activities. A benefit of using a threat hunting framework is that it provides actionable, repeatable steps to conduct threat hunting in a consistent and efficient manner. A threat hunting framework does not automatically generate incident reports, eliminate false positives, or provide high fidelity threat actor attribution, as these are dependent on other factors such as data sources, tools, and analysis skills.
