New SPLK-5001 Test Materials & Valid SPLK-5001 Test Engine [Q32-Q52]

NO.32 An analyst is investigating how an attacker successfully performs a brute-force attack to gain a foothold into an organizations systems. In the course of the investigation the analyst determines that the reason no alerts were generated is because the detection searches were configured to run against Windows data only and excluding any Linux data.
This is an example of what?

NO.33 A threat hunter executed a hunt based on the following hypothesis:
As an actor, I want to plant rundll32 for proxy execution of malicious code and leverage Cobalt Strike for Command and Control.
Relevant logs and artifacts such as Sysmon, netflow, IDS alerts, and EDR logs were searched, and the hunter is confident in the conclusion that Cobalt Strike is not present in the company’s environment.
Which of the following best describes the outcome of this threat hunt?

NO.34 An analyst is examining the logs for a web application’s login form. They see thousands of failed logon attempts using various usernames and passwords. Internet research indicates that these credentials may have been compiled by combining account information from several recent data breaches.
Which type of attack would this be an example of?

NO.35 An analyst needs to create a new field at search time. Which Splunk command will dynamically extract additional fields as part of a Search pipeline?

NO.36 The Lockheed Martin Cyber Kill Chain breaks an attack lifecycle into several stages. A threat actor modified the registry on a compromised Windows system to ensure that their malware would automatically run at boot time. Into which phase of the Kill Chain would this fall?

NO.37 An analyst notices that one of their servers is sending an unusually large amount of traffic, gigabytes more than normal, to a single system on the Internet. There doesn’t seem to be any associated increase in incoming traffic.
What type of threat actor activity might this represent?

NO.38 What is the main difference between hypothesis-driven and data-driven Threat Hunting?

NO.39 When threat hunting for outliers in Splunk, which of the following SPL pipelines would filter for users with over a thousand occurrences?

NO.40 After discovering some events that were missed in an initial investigation, an analyst determines this is because some events have an empty src field. Instead, the required data is often captured in another field called machine_name.
What SPL could they use to find all relevant events across either field until the field extraction is fixed?

NO.41 An analyst would like to visualize threat objects across their environment and chronological risk events for a Risk Object in Incident Review. Where would they find this?

NO.42 In which phase of the Continuous Monitoring cycle are suggestions and improvements typically made?

NO.43 A Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) team delivers a briefing to the CISO detailing their view of the threat landscape the organization faces. This is an example of what type of Threat Intelligence?

NO.44 A Risk Rule generates events on Suspicious Cloud Share Activity and regularly contributes to confirmed incidents from Risk Notables. An analyst realizes the raw logs these events are generated from contain information which helps them determine what might be malicious.
What should they ask their engineer for to make their analysis easier?

NO.45 An analyst is building a search to examine Windows XML Event Logs, but the initial search is not returning any extracted fields. Based on the above image, what is the most likely cause?

NO.46 Which search command allows an analyst to match whatever is inside the parentheses as a single term in the index, even if it contains characters that are usually recognized as minor breakers such as periods or underscores?

NO.47 An analysis of an organization’s security posture determined that a particular asset is at risk and a new process or solution should be implemented to protect it. Typically, who would be in charge of designing the new process and selecting the required tools to implement it?

NO.48 Splunk Enterprise Security has numerous frameworks to create correlations, integrate threat intelligence, and provide a workflow for investigations. Which framework raises the threat profile of individuals or assets to allow identification of people or devices that perform an unusual amount of suspicious activities?

NO.49 Which of the following use cases is best suited to be a Splunk SOAR Playbook?
A Forming hypothesis for Threat Hunting
B. Visualizing complex datasets.
C. Creating persistent field extractions.
D. Taking containment action on a compromised host

NO.50 While the top command is utilized to find the most common values contained within a field, a Cyber Defense Analyst hunts for anomalies. Which of the following Splunk commands returns the least common values?

NO.51 During their shift, an analyst receives an alert about an executable being run from C:WindowsTemp. Why should this be investigated further?

NO.52 The field file_acl contains access controls associated with files affected by an event. In which data model would an analyst find this field?
