Malware Mastery QuizVersion en ligne Advanced malware concepts and defenses par denny vicioso macaro 1 What distinguishes a computer virus from other malware? a It requires user action or a host file to propagate b It never modifies system files c It cannot execute without admin privileges d It self-replicates independently over networks 2 Which is a primary function of a Trojan horse in cybersecurity terms? a Self-replication across devices b Exploiting zero-days without user interaction c Disguise malicious payload as legitimate software d Blocking antivirus processes exclusively 3 Ransomware primarily achieves impact by: a Providing free software updates b Exploiting hardware faults to crash systems c Encrypting user data and demanding payment d Stealing credentials for resale 4 What is a polymorphic virus? a A malware that only targets mobile devices b A malware variant that changes its code while preserving function c A benign program with hidden features d A virus immune to all antivirus signatures 5 Which defense primarily prevents unauthorized network access? a SIEM b Firewall c Sandbox d Antivirus 6 Which is NOT typically considered malware? a Worm b Spyware c Ransomware d A harmless screen saver 7 Zero-day malware refers to a threat that: a Exploits a previously unknown vulnerability b Only affects legacy systems c Is already patched d Is a false alarm 8 What does EDR stand for in cybersecurity? a Electronic Data Routing b Enterprise Data Reduction c Endpoint Detection and Response d Emergency Disaster Recovery 9 Which component analyzes suspicious behavior in isolated environments? a Sandbox b Router c IPS d Honey Pot 10 Which term best describes self-spreading malicious software over networks without user action? a Trojan b Virus c Worm d Adware 11 What role does a firewall play in a layered security strategy? a Decrypts encrypted payloads b Replaces antivirus software c Controls and filters traffic to reduce attack surface d Removes malware from infected hosts 12 Antivirus software primarily uses which technique to detect malware? a Signature-based and heuristic analysis b DNS tunneling c Port mirroring d TLS inspection 13 Which malware type typically aims to covertly monitor user activity? a Ransomware b Worm c Rootkit d Spyware 14 Which statement accurately describes a rootkit? a Hides the presence of malware by subverting OS components b Directly encrypts the file system c Is easily detected by standard AV d Only targets mobile devices 15 Which defense is most effective against credential-stuffing and brute force? a Single-user mode b IP spoofing c Rootkit detection d Multi-factor authentication 16 What is a key characteristic of macro malware? a It exploits document macros to execute payloads b It cannot be delivered via email c It is always ransomware d It only affects firmware 17 Which term describes malware that changes its code to avoid detection? a Static malware b Linear malware c Polymorphic malware d Metamorphic malware 18 Which cyber defense activity involves analyzing trends to predict threats? a Firmware flashing b Disk imaging c Bandwidth shaping d Threat intelligence and hunting 19 What is the purpose of a honeypot in security? a Store backups b Block all traffic by default c Speed up authentication d Lure attackers to study methods and distract them 20 Which type of malware is most associated with supply chain attacks? a Trojanized legitimate software b Adware c Worm d Rootkit 21 Which practice reduces malware risk by limiting privilege escalation? a Superuser access b Least privilege principle c Public sharing of keys d Default admin rights Explicación 1 A virus attaches to files and needs a host to spread; worms can self-propagate over networks. 2 Trojans rely on deception, not self-replication or unconditional exploitation. 3 Ransomware encrypts data and demands ransom; other options describe different threats. 4 Polymorphic viruses mutate code to evade signature-based detection. 5 Firewalls control inbound/outbound traffic based on rules. 6 A benign screen saver is not malware. 7 Zero-days target unknown flaws before patches exist. 8 EDR focuses on detecting and responding to endpoint threats. 9 Sandboxing runs malware in isolation to observe behavior. 10 Worms propagate independently; viruses typically need a host. 11 Firewalls narrow traffic; not a malware remover or decryptor. 12 AV uses signatures and heuristics to identify threats. 13 Spyware collects data silently; rootkits hide themselves. 14 Rootkits conceal malware by tampering with OS internals. 15 MFA adds an additional factor beyond passwords. 16 Macro malware uses document macros to run code. 17 Metamorphic mutates code more extensively than polymorphic. 18 Threat intel and hunting seek patterns to anticipate attacks. 19 Honeypots attract attackers to gather intel and slow them down. 20 Trojanized software compromises systems via trusted updates. 21 Least privilege minimizes what processes can do.
