Question 1

What is a lock impressioning attack?

A method of duplicating a key without physical access to the original A method of opening a lock with acid or chemicals A way to decode a smart lock's digital signal A way to bypass a lock by jamming the tumblers A method of creating a working key for a lock from an impression of the keyway A way to create a bump key to pick a lock

Correct Answer: A method of creating a working key for a lock from an impression of the keyway

Lock impressioning involves creating a precise impression of the keyway (the opening where the key goes) and using it to create a working key. The other options are all related to other lock-picking techniques.

Question 2

What is the technique of surreptitiously installing a device on a computer system to record keystrokes and capture sensitive information?

Impressioning RFID skimming Spoofing Bluejacking Keylogging Pivoting

Correct Answer: Keylogging

Keylogging involves surreptitiously installing a device on a computer system to record keystrokes and capture sensitive information. RFID skimming involves using an RFID reader to access data on a victim's RFID-enabled credit cards or other devices. Bluejacking involves sending unsolicited messages or files to nearby Bluetooth-enabled devices. Impressioning involves making a duplicate key based on markings left on a blank key when it is inserted and turned inside the lock. Pivoting involves using a compromised system to gain access to other systems on the same network. Spoofing involves falsifying data or identities to gain unauthorized access.

Question 3

What is the purpose of a lock pick gun?

To conduct a denial-of-service (DoS) attack To perform a vulnerability scan of a network To create strong and complex passwords To perform wireless packet sniffing To escalate privileges in a Windows domain environment To open pin-tumbler locks

Correct Answer: To open pin-tumbler locks

A lock pick gun is a tool used to open pin-tumbler locks through a process called lock picking. By using a rapid series of vibrations, the gun can simulate the action of traditional lock picking and quickly unlock a variety of locks.
