Transcript

What do you call a software that pretends to be legitimate but secretly installs malware? If you said Trojan, you'd be correct. This is the cyber security quiz. Send this to your friend who's cooked. What type of malware encrypts your files until you pay money? If you said ransomware, you'd be correct. What is the name of the file on Linux that stores password hashes? Alright, if you said Etsy shadow, okay, you might know your stuff, but let's keep going. What protocol securely transfers files over SSH? Okay, if you said SFTP, you'd be correct. Last one, this one's pretty hard, so lock in. What kind of scan only checks whether a TCP port is open without completing the full connection? Okay, if you said sin scan, you'd be correct. And you're pretty goaded. As always, make sure to comment your score and follow for more!
