A systems administrator notices a surge of network traffic is coming from the monitoring server. The administrator discovers that large amounts of data are being downloaded to an external source. While investigating, the administrator reviews the following logs:

Which of the following ports has been compromised?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: E

Based on the logs provided, the port that has been compromised is Port 8048. The state 'TIME_WAIT' indicates that this port was recently used to establish a connection that has now ended. This could be indicative of the recent activity where large amounts of data were downloaded to an external source, suggesting a potential security breach.

I'm picturing the admin just sitting back, rubbing their hands together, and wondering who's going to choose the right port. Gotta love these tricky networking questions!

Haha, the correct answer is definitely port 8048. It's like the admin was playing a game of 'guess the obscure port' and trying to stump us!

I'm going to say port 22. SSH is a common target for attacks, and the logs point to some suspicious activity on that port.

Port 443 is the obvious choice here. It's used for HTTPS, and the large data downloads indicate a potential breach.

I'm going with port 4443. That port number stands out, and it's not a common one, so it's likely the culprit.

Let's focus on port 4443 and see if we can block the unauthorized data transfer.

Port 4443 is definitely worth looking into. Let's see if we can trace where the data is going.

Hmm, from the logs, it looks like port 8048 is the one that's been compromised. That's not a typical port, so it seems suspicious.

User 2: Yeah, let's block that port and see if the network traffic decreases.

I disagree, I believe it's Port 443 because it's commonly used for HTTPS traffic.
