Quiz — System Hacking Concepts
10 APPLY questions on access concepts without exploit steps.
System hacking — Module Quiz
Ten APPLY items on the sentences this module refused to collapse: guessing a password at a prompt is not a stolen verifier file and not MFA; Topic 8 still holds — a hash is one-way and matching a digest is not “cracking the internet”; unique passwords, a password manager, and MFA stack on accounts you control; least privilege means user is not admin until a control fails; compromised user is not automatic admin; testers document findings; covering tracks on someone else's system is a crime; defenders enable logs and prefer off-box copies they cannot wipe from the endpoint; the lab is hardening-lab-notes.txt on a machine YOU own (MFA, unique passwords, updates, logging) chmod 600. Cyberlium artifacts live under $HOME/cyberlium-lab (access-credentials, privilege-levels, persistence-logs, hardening-lab) mode 600. Crackers, dumps, /etc/shadow, hydra against strangers, kernel exploit gists, token-stealing kits, Metasploit, Mimikatz, implant recipes, and log-clear on others' boxes are all failing answers even when they look “more Ethical Hacking.” This path is original Cyberlium teaching mapped to a Ethical Hacking domain — not official Official Certification training, not a cert, not exam dumps. Wrong answers still teach. Empty ethics lines fail. Next after this quiz is Malware Families Without Samples: Module 7 names delivery and intent, not a zoo of live files — still no samples, still no payloads.
APPLY: A classmate downloads a password dump and wants a GPU cracker “because Module 6 said hashes matter.” What is a stolen hash file here, and what do you do?
APPLY: True or False: Matching SHA-256 of a toy word you invented means you decrypted the internet, so reuse is fine and MFA is optional.
APPLY: Guessing, a stolen verifier file, and MFA get collapsed in a group chat as “just passwords.” Which split is required?
APPLY: A teammate has a user password on a hypothetical box and opens a kernel exploit gist “because Ethical Hacking system hacking.” What is privilege here?
APPLY: Select statements that match least privilege on a system you own. (Select 2)
APPLY: After an authorized finding, a teammate wants to clear the customer's Event Log and leave a startup implant “for stealth retest.” What do testers do?
APPLY: True or False: Off-box logging is theater, so practicing log-clear and timestomp on a café POS makes persistence real.
APPLY: A blog titled with a cert acronym publishes “system hacking” as hashcat plus Mimikatz plus log wipe. What does Cyberlium Module 6 tell you?
APPLY: You finished hardening-lab-notes.txt. Which hygiene and ethics pairing is required before the quiz badge?
APPLY: You carry Module 6 into Module 7. Which pairing is true, and what opens after this quiz?
APPLY: curl of http://192.168.0.1/ shows a home router login (TP-Link / Netgear / Huawei / "Router Admin"). Is that DEMO in scope as a hacking target?
