QuestionQ332
Logs and Network ForensicsDuring an after-hours incident at a news portal in Raleigh, North Carolina, analysts notice many requests to wordpress/wp-login.php from the same IP address within a brief period. Minutes later, they observe one entry that differs from the earlier pattern. To differentiate continued brute-force activity from post-authentication navigation to the administrative area, which log element most strongly indicates the latter?
- A “the URL has been changed to /wordpress/wp-admin/"
- B “HTTP 302 status code (... indicates URL redirection)"
- C “several login attempts ... within a very short timeframe”
- D “from the same IP"
