What is the main purpose of the Mac Sensor report?
Answer : B
The Mac Sensor report is a pre-defined report that provides a summary view of selected activities on Mac hosts. It shows information such as process execution events, network connection events, file write events, etc. that occurred on Mac hosts within a specified time range. The Mac Sensor report does not identify endpoints that are in Reduced Functionality Mode, provide vulnerability assessment for Mac Operating Systems, or provide a dashboard for Mac related detections.
Question 2
The Events Data Dictionary found in the Falcon documentation is useful for writing hunting queries because:
Answer : C
This is the correct answer for the same reason as above. The Events Data Dictionary provides a reference of information about the events found in the Investigate > Event Search page of the Falcon Console, which is useful for writing hunting queries. It does not provide pre-defined queries, detect names and descriptions, or compatible splunk commands.
Question 3
With Custom Alerts you are able to configure email alerts using predefined templates so you're notified about specific activity in your environment. Which of the following outlines the steps required to properly create a custom alert rule?
Answer : B
These are the steps required to properly create a custom alert rule. Custom Alerts are a feature that allows you to configure email alerts using predefined templates so you're notified about specific activity in your environment. 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
The help desk is reporting an increase in calls related to user accounts being locked out over the last few days. You suspect that this could be an attack by an adversary against your organization. Select the best hunting hypothesis from the following:
Answer : D
A hunting hypothesis is a statement that describes a possible malicious activity that can be tested with data and analysis. A good hunting hypothesis should be specific, testable, and relevant to the problem or goal. In this case, the best hunting hypothesis from the following is that a password guessing attack is being executed against remote access mechanisms such as VPN, as it explains the possible cause and method of the user account lockouts in a specific and testable way. A zero-day vulnerability on a Microsoft Exchange server is too vague and does not explain how it relates to the lockouts. A hacked web application is also too vague and does not specify how it causes the lockouts. Users locking their accounts out because they recently changed their passwords is not a malicious activity and does not account for the increase in calls.
Question 5
What topics are presented in the Hunting and Investigation Guide?
Answer : C
This is the correct answer for the same reason as above. The Hunting and Investigation guide provides sample hunting queries, select walkthroughs, and best practices for hunting with Falcon. It does not provide a detailed tutorial on writing advanced queries, a detailed summary of event names and descriptions, or recommended platform configurations and prevention settings.
Question 6
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 7
Which pre-defined reports offer information surrounding activities that typically indicate suspicious activity occurring on a system?
Answer : B
Hunt reports are pre-defined reports that offer information surrounding activities that typically indicate suspicious activity occurring on a system. They are based on common threat hunting use cases and queries, and they provide visualizations and summaries of the results. Hunt reports can help threat hunters quickly identify and investigate potential threats in their environment.
