ECCouncil Certified Ethical Hacker Exam (CEH v13 AI) - 312-50v13 Exam Practice Test
Question 1
In the heart of Silicon Valley, California, network administrator Jake Henderson oversees the web infrastructure for TechTrend Innovations, a startup specializing in cloud solutions. During a routine architecture review, Jake evaluates the setup of their web server, which handles high-traffic API requests. He notes that the server's primary module processes incoming requests and works with additional modules to manage encryption, URL rewriting, and authentication. Curious about the server's design, Jake consults the documentation to ensure optimal performance and security.

Question 3
During an internal red team engagement at a financial services firm, an ethical hacker named Anika tests persistence mechanisms after successfully gaining access to a junior employee's workstation. As part of her assessment, she deploys a lightweight binary into a low-visibility system folder. To maintain long-term access, she configures it to launch automatically on every system reboot without requiring user interaction.
Which of the following techniques has most likely been used to ensure the persistence of the attacker's payload?

Question 5
Maya Patel from SecureHorizon Consulting is investigating a breach at Dallas General Hospital in Texas after a nurse misplaced a smartphone containing patient management software. Although the device remained active on the network, administrators had no way to identify its physical whereabouts, delaying incident response and allowing sensitive medical records to be exposed for hours. Which mobile security guideline would have most directly reduced the impact of this incident?

Question 6
You are an ethical hacker at CyberShield Analytics, hired by Coastal Education Services, a tutoring platform in Miami, Florida, to test the security of their student portal. While probing the portal ' s course enrollment page, you input a crafted value into the course ID field, appending a condition that checks if the first character of the database name is a specific value. The application does not display error messages or additional data, but the page takes significantly longer to load when the condition evaluates to true, indicating a deliberate delay.

Question 8
As part of a controlled red-team engagement, an ethical hacker evaluates the resilience of a corporate campus against radio-frequency disruption. The tester activates a portable multi-antenna signal suppression device from a nearby building.
The interference affects wireless communication across several departments within an estimated coverage radius of approximately 120 meters. The disruption persists for slightly over an hour before the device requires recharge. Analysis confirms that multiple frequency bands, including Wi-Fi and cellular standards, were simultaneously impacted.
Based on the operational characteristics observed, identify the jamming device most consistent with this activity.

Question 9
Suppose your company has just passed a security risk assessment exercise. The results display that the risk of the breach in the main company application is 50%. Security staff has taken some measures and implemented the necessary controls. After that, another security risk assessment was performed showing that risk has decreased to 10%. The risk threshold for the application is 20%. Which of the following risk decisions will be the best for the project in terms of its successful continuation with the most business profit?

Question 10
In the dimly lit network operations room of a major logistics firm in Atlanta, Georgia, ethical hacker James Patel was performing deep packet analysis during the scanning phase of a red team engagement. While reviewing a live capture from the company's perimeter devices, he noticed a series of initial packets being exchanged between an internal server and an external client.
The very first packet in the sequence carried a specific flag that triggered the entire communication process, prompting the receiving system to respond and begin establishing a reliable connection. No data had been transferred yet, and the session had not been reset or terminated.
Which TCP communication flag was responsible for initiating this connection?
