QuestionQ34

Managing Encryption and Privacy

John is a professional Ethical Hacker assigned to test the security of www.we-are-secure.com. He installs a sniffer on the We-are-secure server, believing that the following protocols are used on its network:

  • HTTP
  • SSL
  • SSH
  • IPSec

Given these factors, which packet types can he expect to find captured in encrypted form when checking the sniffer's log file?

Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose all that apply.

Choose three
  • A SSH
  • B SSL
  • C HTTP
  • D IPSec
Explanation

SSH encrypts remote-session traffic, SSL encrypts communications protected by SSL, and IPsec encrypts IP traffic. HTTP by itself transmits data without encryption.
