Ethical Hacking interview questions and answers

1)
Who is a hacker?
Intelligent individuals with excellent computer skills, with the ability to create and explore into the computer's software and hardware.
2
What is footprinting ?
Footprinting refers to uncovering and collecting as much information as possible about a target network.
3)
Definition and types of scanning
Scanning refers to a set of procedures for identifying hosts, ports, and services in a network. Scanning is one of the components of intelligence gathering for an attacker to create a profile of the target organization.
Scanning types :
  • Port Scanning
  • Vulnerability Scanning
  • Network Scanning
4)
What is Enumeration ?
Enumeration is defined as the process of extracting user names, machine names, network resources, shares, and services from a system. Enumeration techniques are conducted in an Intranet Environment.
6)
What is MIB ( Management Information Base )?
MIB is a virtual database containing formal description of all the network objects that can be managed using SNMP. The MIB database is hierarchical and each managed object in a MIB is addressed through object identifiers ( OID ).
7)
What is LDAP ( Lightweight Directory Access Protocol ) ?
The Lightweight Directory Access protocol is a protocol used to access the directory listings within Active Directory or from the other directory services.
8)
What is NTP ?
Network Time Protocol ( NTP ) is designed to synchronize clocks of networked computers. It uses UDP port 123 as its primary means of communication. NTP can maintain time to within 10 milliseconds (1/100 seconds) over the public Internet.
9)
What are the types of hacking stages ?
  • Gaining Access
  • Escalating Privileges
  • Executing Applications
  • Hiding Files
  • Covering Tracks
10)
Types of password cracking techniques?
  • Dictionary Attacks
  • Brute Forcing Attacks
  • Hybrid Attack
  • Syllable Attack
  • Rule - based Attack.
5)
What is SNMP( Simple Network Management Protocol ) ?
Simple Network Management Protocol ( SNMP ) is a TCP/IP protocol used for remote monitoring and managing hosts, routers, and other devices on a network.
6)
