QUESTION 12
A critical US-CERT notification is published regarding a newly discovered botnet. The malware is
very evasive and is not reliably detected by endpoint antivirus software. Furthermore, SSL is used
to tunnel malicious traffic to command-and-control servers on the internet and SSL Forward Proxy
Decryption is not enabled.
Which component once enabled on a perimeter firewall will allow the identification of existing
infected hosts in an environment?
A. Anti-Spyware profiles applied outbound security policies with DNS Query action set to sinkhole
B. File Blocking profiles applied to outbound security policies with action set to alert
C. Vulnerability Protection profiles applied to outbound security policies with action set to block
D. Antivirus profiles applied to outbound security policies with action set to alert
Answer: A
Explanation:
Starting with PAN-OS 6.0, DNS sinkhole is an action that can be enabled in Anti-Spyware profiles.
A DNS sinkhole can be used to identify infected hosts on a protected network using DNS traffic in
environments where the firewall can see the DNS query to a malicious URL.
The DNS sinkhole enables the Palo Alto Networks device to forge a response to a DNS query for
a known malicious domain/URL and causes the malicious domain name to resolve to a definable
IP address (fake IP) that is given to the client. If the client attempts to access the fake IP address
and there is a security rule in place that blocks traffic to this IP, the information is recorded in the
logs.

QUESTION 17
What are three valid actions in a File Blocking Profile? (Choose three)
A. Forward
B. Block
C. Alret
D. Upload
E. Reset-both
F. Continue
Answer: BCF
Explanation:
You can configure a file blocking profile with the following actions:
Forward - When the specified file type is detected, the file is sent to WildFire for analysis. A log
is also generated in the data filtering log.
Block - When the specified file type is detected, the file is blocked and a customizable block
page is presented to the user. A log is also generated in the data filtering log.
Alert - When the specified file type is detected, a log is generated in the data filtering log.
Continue - When the specified file type is detected, a customizable response page is presented
to the user. The user can click through the page to download the file. A log is also generated in
the data filtering log. Because this type of forwarding action requires user interaction, it is only
applicable for web traffic.
Continue-and-forward - When the specified file type is detected, a customizable continuation
page is presented to the user. The user can click through the page to download the file. If the
user clicks through the continue page to download the file, the file is sent to WildFire for analysis.
A log is also generated in the data filtering log.

QUESTION 20
Palo Alto Networks maintains a dynamic database of malicious domains.
Which two Security Platform components use this database to prevent threats? (Choose two)
A. Brute-force signatures
B. BrightCloud Url Filtering
C. PAN-DB URL Filtering
D. DNS-based command-and-control signatures
Answer: CD
Explanation:
C: PAN-DB categorizes URLs based on their content at the domain, file and page level, and
receives updates from WildFire cloud-based malware analysis environment every 30 minutes to
make sure that, when web content changes, so do categorizations. This continuous feedback loop
enables you to keep pace with the rapidly changing nature of the web, automatically.
D: DNS is a very necessary and ubiquitous application, as such, it is a very commonly abused
protocol for command-and-control and data exfiltration. This tech brief summarizes the DNS
classification, inspection and protection capabilities supported by our next-generation security
platform, which includes:
1. Malformed DNS messages (symptomatic of vulnerability exploitation attack).
2. DNS responses with suspicious composition (abused query types, DNS-based denial of service
attacks).
3. DNS queries for known malicious domains. Our ability to prevent threats from hiding within DNS
The passive DNS network feature allows you to opt-in to share anonymized DNS query and
response data with our global passive DNS network. The data is continuously mined to discover
malicious domains that are then added to the PAN-OS DNS signature set that is delivered daily,
enabling timely detection of compromised hosts within the network and the disruption of command-
and-control channels that rely on name resolution.

QUESTION 21
Which two methods can be used to mitigate resource exhaustion of an application server? (Choose
two)
A. Vulnerability Object
B. DoS Protection Profile
C. Data Filtering Profile
D. Zone Protection Profile
Answer: BD
Explanation:
B: There are two DoS protection mechanisms that the Palo Alto Networks firewalls support.
* Flood Protection - Detects and prevents attacks where the network is flooded with packets
resulting in too many half-open sessions and/or services being unable to respond to each request.
In this case the source address of the attack is usually spoofed.
* Resource Protection - Detects and prevent session exhaustion attacks. In this type of attack, a
large number of hosts (bots) are used to establish as many fully established sessions as possible
to consume all of a system’s resources.
You can enable both types of protection mechanisms in a single DoS protection profile.
D: Provides additional protection between specific network zones in order to protect the zones
against attack. The profile must be applied to the entire zone, so it is important to carefully test the
profiles in order to prevent issues that may arise with the normal traffic traversing the zones. When
defining packets per second (pps) thresholds limits for zone protection profiles, the threshold is
based on the packets per second that do not match a previously established session.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Vulnerability protection stops attempts to exploit system flaws or gain unauthorized access to
systems. For example, this feature will protect against buffer overflows, illegal code execution, and
other attempts to exploit system vulnerabilities.
C: Data Filtering helps to prevent sensitive information such as credit card or social security
numbers from leaving a protected network.

A. Pre-NAT addresse and Pre-NAT zones

B. Post-NAT addresse and Post-Nat zones
C. Pre-NAT addresse and Post-Nat zones
D. Post-Nat addresses and Pre-NAT zones
Answer: C
Explanation:
NAT Policy Rule Functionality
Upon ingress, the firewall inspects the packet and does a route lookup to determine the egress
interface and zone. Then the firewall determines if the packet matches one of the NAT rules that
have been defined, based on source and/or destination zone. It then evaluates and applies any
security policies that match the packet based on the original (pre-NAT) source and destination
addresses, but the post-NAT zones.

10.66.24.88 as the next hop for the 192.168.93.0/30 network?
A. Configuring the administrative Distance for RIP to be lower than that of OSPF Int.
B. Configuring the metric for RIP to be higher than that of OSPF Int.
C. Configuring the administrative Distance for RIP to be higher than that of OSPF Ext.
D. Configuring the metric for RIP to be lower than that OSPF Ext.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The best route is then selected among them based on Administrative Distance (AD) value of routing
protocols which routes came from and that route is marked with flag A, stating that it is the Active
route.
Administrative distance (AD) is an arbitrary numerical value assigned to dynamic routes, static
routes and directly-connected routes. The value is used by vendor-specific routers to rank routes
from most preferred to least preferred. When multiple paths to the same destination are available,
the router uses the route with the lowest administrative distance and inserts the preferred route into
its routing table.

QUESTION 41
How is the Forward Untrust Certificate used?
A. It issues certificates encountered on the Untrust security zone when clients attempt to connect to a
site that has be decrypted/
B. It is used when web servers request a client certificate.
C. It is presented to clients when the server they are connecting to is signed by a certificate authority
that is not trusted by firewall.
D. It is used for Captive Portal to identify unknown users.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Though a single certificate can be used for both Forward Trust and Forward Untrust, creating a
separate certificate specifically for Untrust (which must be generated as a CA) allows for easy
differentiation of a valid certificate/trust error as the Palo Alto Networks device proxies the secure
session.
Verify the CA to be blocked, keeping in mind that doing so blocks access to all sites issued by this
CA.

Which authentication source requires the installation of Palo Alto Networks software, other than
PAN-OS 7x, to obtain username-to-IP-address mapping?
A. Aerohive Wireless Access Point

B. Microsoft Terminal Services
C. Palo Alto Networks Captive Portal
D. Microsoft Active Directory
Answer: B
Explanation:
Configure User Mapping for Terminal Server Users
Individual terminal server users appear to have the same IP address and therefore an IP address
to username mapping is not sufficient to identify a specific user. To enable identification of specific
users on Windows-based terminal servers, the Palo Alto Networks Terminal Services agent (TS
agent) allocates a port range to each user. It then notifies every connected firewall about the
allocated port range, which allows the firewall to create an IP address-port-user mapping table and
enable user- and group-based security policy enforcement.
Incorrect Answers:
A: If you want to integrate Aerohive with Palo Alto the suggested route is to run a script on a Kiwi
Syslog Server which parses the Aerohive log and then updates the Palo Alto with Username/IP
address mapping.
A working VB script for Kiwi is provided below.

Several offices are connected with VPNs using static IPv4 routes. An administrator has been tasked
with implementing OSPF to replace static routing.
Which step is required to accomplish this goal?
A. Enable OSPFv3 on each tunnel interface and use Area ID 0.0.0.0

B. Create new VPN zones at each site to terminate each VPN connection.
C. Assign an IP address on each tunnel interface at each site.
D. Assign OSPF Area 0.0.0.0 to all Ethernet and tunnel interfaces.

OSPF Area Types include the Backbone Area, Area 0, is the core of an OSPF network. The
backbone has the reserved area ID of 0.0.0.0. All other areas are connected to it and all traffic
between areas must traverse it. All routing between areas is distributed through the backbone area.
While all other OSPF areas must connect to the backbone area, this connection doesn't need to
be direct and can be made through a virtual link.
