Actual exam question for GAQM's CPEH-001 exam

Question #: 86
Topic #: 3

[All CPEH-001 Questions]

You have initiated an active operating system fingerprinting attempt with nmap against a target system:

What operating system is the target host running based on the open ports shown above?

AWindows XP

BWindows 98 SE

CWindows NT4 Server

DWindows 2000 Server

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Canaries or canary words are known values that are placed between a buffer and control data on the stack to monitor buffer overflows. When the buffer overflows, it will clobber the canary, making the overflow evident. This is a reference to the historic practice of using canaries in coal mines, since they would be affected by toxic gases earlier than the miners, thus providing a biological warning system.

I feel like Windows XP is a common choice, but I can't recall the specific ports that would indicate that.

I think I practiced a similar question where we had to identify Windows versions based on services running. Could it be Windows 2000 Server?

I remember that nmap can help identify OS versions based on open ports, but I'm not sure which one matches these ports exactly.

Okay, I've got this. The open ports and services point to an older Windows system, likely Windows XP or 2000 based on the versions shown.

The open ports and services give some good clues. I'll cross-reference this information with my knowledge of common Windows OS versions to select the best answer.

Hmm, I'm not too familiar with nmap fingerprinting. I'll need to think through the open ports and services to make an educated guess on the OS.

This looks like a straightforward nmap fingerprinting question. I'll review the open ports and service versions to determine the most likely OS.

The main flaw is that the charter doesn't actually test the user story. It's focused on the shipping process instead of when the customer is told about the delivery.
