CCFR-201 Online Practice Questions and Answers

Correct Answer: A

According to the [CrowdStrike Falcon?Data Replicator (FDR) Add-on for Splunk Guide], Sensor Visibility Exclusions allow you to exclude files or directories from being monitored by the sensor. This can reduce the amount of data sent to the CrowdStrike Cloud and improve performance. Sensor Visibility Exclusion patterns are written in Glob Syntax, which is a simple pattern matching syntax that supports wildcards, such as *, ?, and . For example, you can use *.exe to exclude all files with .exe extension.

Correct Answer: C

According to the CrowdStrike Falcon?Data Replicator (FDR) Add-on for Splunk Guide, quarantined files are never deleted from the host unless you manually delete them or release them from quarantine2. When you release a file from quarantine, you are restoring it to its original location and allowing it to execute on any host in your organization2. This action also removes the file from the quarantine list and deletes it from the CrowdStrike Cloud2.

Correct Answer: B

According to the [CrowdStrike Falcon?Data Replicator (FDR) Add-on for Splunk Guide], when you quarantine a file from a host using IOC Management or Real Time Response (RTR), you are moving it from its original location to a secure location on the host where it cannot be executed. The file is also encrypted and renamed with a random string of characters. A copy of the file is also uploaded to the CrowdStrike Cloud for further analysis. Quarantined files are stored in the CrowdStrike Cloud for 90 days before they are deleted.

Correct Answer: B

According to the CrowdStrike Falcon Devices Add-on for Splunk Installation and Configuration Guide v3.1.5+, the Hash Execution Search tool allows you to search for one or more SHA256 hashes and view a summary of information from Falcon events that contain those hashes1. The summary includes the hostname, sensor ID, OS, country, city, ISP, ASN, and geolocation of the host that loaded or executed those hashes1. You can also see a count of detections and incidents related to those hashes1.

Correct Answer: A

According to the CrowdStrike Falcon Devices Add-on for Splunk Installation and Configuration Guide v3.1.5+, Event Actions are automated searches that can be used to pivot between related events and searches1. They are available in various tools, such as Event Search, Process Timeline, Host Timeline, etc1. You can select one or more events and perform various actions, such as show a process timeline, show a host timeline, show associated event data, show a +/- 10minute window of events, etc1. These actions can help you investigate and analyze events more efficiently and effectively1.

Correct Answer: C

According to the CrowdStrike Falcon Devices Add-on for Splunk Installation and Configuration Guide v3.1.5+, Reduced Functionality Mode (RFM) is a state where a host's sensor has limited functionality due to various reasons, such as license expiration, network issues, tampering attempts, etc1. You can find hosts that are in RFM by using the Host Search tool and filtering by Sensor Status = RFM1. You can also view details about why a host is in RFM by clicking on its hostname1.

Correct Answer: B

According to the CrowdStrike Falcon Devices Add-on for Splunk Installation and Configuration Guide v3.1.5+, global prevalence is a field that indicates how frequently the hash of a file is seen across all CrowdStrike customer environments1. A global prevalence of common means that the file is widely distributed and likely benign1. However, if you do not know what the executable is, you may want to investigate it further to confirm its legitimacy and functionality1. One way to do that is to click the VT Hash button from the detection, which will pivot you to VirusTotal, a service that analyzes files and URLs for viruses, malware, and other threats1. You can then see more information about the file, such as its name, size, type, signatures, detections, comments, etc1.

Correct Answer: B

According to the CrowdStrike Falcon?Data Replicator (FDR) Add-on for Splunk Guide, IOA exclusions allow you to exclude files or directories from being detected or blocked by CrowdStrike's indicators of attack (IOAs), which are behavioral rules that identify malicious activities1. This can reduce false positives and improve performance1. When you configure and apply an IOA exclusion, the impact is that the associated detection will be suppressed and theassociated process would have been allowed to run1. This means that you will not see any alerts or events related to that IOA in the console1.

Correct Answer: D

According to the [MITRE ATTandCK website], MITRE ATTandCK is a knowledge base of adversary behaviors and techniques based on real-world observations. The knowledge base is organized into tactics and techniques, where tactics are the high-level goals of an adversary, such as initial access, persistence, lateral movement, etc., and techniques are the specific ways an adversary can achieve those goals, such as phishing, credential dumping, remote file copy, etc. Credential Access via OS Credential Dumping is an example of a tactic and technique combination sourced from MITRE ATTandCK information, which describes how adversaries can obtain credentials from operating system memory or disk storage by using tools such as Mimikatz or ProcDump.

Correct Answer: B

According to the [CrowdStrike Falcon?Data Replicator (FDR) Add-on for Splunk Guide], when you open the full detection details from a detection alert or dashboard item, you are taken to a page where you can view detailed information about the detection, such as detection ID, severity, tactic, technique, description, etc. You can also view the events generated by the processes involved in the detection in different ways, such as process tree, process timeline, or process activity. The process tree view is also known as the process explorer, which provides a graphical representation of the process hierarchy and activity. You can view the processes and process relationships by expanding or collapsing nodes in the tree. You can also see the event types and timestamps for each process.
