Actual exam question for Cisco's 200-201 exam
Question #: 90
Topic #: 5
[All 200-201 Questions]

A user reports difficulties accessing certain external web pages. When an engineer examines traffic to and from the external domain in full packet captures, they notice that many SYNs have the same sequence number, source, and destination IP address, but they have different payloads. What is causing this situation?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

TCP injection is an attack where the attacker sends crafted packets into an existing TCP session. These packets appear to be part of the session.

The presence of many SYN packets with the same sequence number, source, and destination IP but different payloads indicates that an attacker might be injecting packets into the session.

This method can be used to disrupt communication, inject malicious commands, or manipulate the data being transmitted.

Wait, hold up, are we sure this isn't just a case of the network engineer falling asleep at the keyboard and accidentally leaning on the 'inject malicious traffic' button? Just a thought.

I think it could also be insufficient network resources causing the problem.

Insufficient network resources? That's a classic scapegoat. I bet the network admin just forgot to pay the internet bill. Option D for sure!

But wouldn't a failure of the full packet capture solution also cause this?

I disagree, I believe it's a misconfiguration of a web filter.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Could it be a failure of the full packet capture solution? Option C seems plausible to me. Maybe they need to upgrade their equipment.

I'd go with option B - a misconfiguration of the web filter could be causing these issues. It's important to double-check the filter settings.

It's always important to make sure the web filter is set up correctly to avoid issues like this.

Maybe the engineer should check the settings on the web filter to see if that's the problem.

This sounds like a case of TCP injection, where an attacker is injecting malicious traffic into the network. Option A seems like the most likely culprit here.

We should investigate further to confirm if it's indeed a case of TCP injection.
