Endpoint Attack and Pivoting

Which of the following assumes control of a session between a server and a client that uses TELNET, FTP, or another unencrypted TCP/IP utility?

  • A Dictionary attack
  • B Session Hijacking
  • C Trojan horse
  • D Social Engineering
Explanation

Session hijacking takes over an active client-server connection by capturing, stealing, or otherwise exploiting session information. Unencrypted utilities such as TELNET and FTP expose traffic in a way that can enable an attacker to intercept and assume control of the session.
