Question 210
A security team risks capturing employee credentials during a broad full-packet investigation. What is the MOST appropriate analyst action based on the evidence?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Packet payloads may contain sensitive authentication and personal data. Minimize sensitive packet evidence collection.
Incorrect Answers
Sensor vantage point can omit reverse traffic when mirroring is incomplete. That is relevant to wireshark and tcpdump operational choice, not to minimize sensitive packet evidence collection.
Command-line packet capture can collect targeted traffic on headless systems. It could help capture DNS evidence via tcpdump, but it would not minimize sensitive packet evidence collection.
Stream reassembly exposes application exchange across multiple packets. That is relevant to wireshark and tcpdump operational choice, not to minimize sensitive packet evidence collection.
