On the way into a secure building, an unknown individual strikes up a conversation with an employee. The employee scans the required badge at the door while the unknown individual holds the door open, seemingly out of courtesy, for the employee. Which of the following social engineering techniques is being utilized?
A.
Shoulder surfing
B.
Watering-hole attack
C.
Tailgating
D.
Impersonation
Answer C (Tailgating)
Tailgating is following someone who has access to a secure into that area without having access yourself.
Shoulder surfing is looking at information that someone who has access to it is looking at over their shoulder /while they have it open to view when you shouldn't otherwise have access to that information. This sounds more like Tailgating than Shoulder surfing for sure.
answer is tailgating
C. Tailgating
C. Tailgating
Tailgating. This is clear.
I believe that all badges need to be scanned. this is a violation of Security 101-this is clearly tailgating. My question is has anyone answered SS and got it correct on the exam
Answer is C - Tailgating
Tailgating, also known as "piggybacking," occurs when an unauthorized person follows an authorized person into a secure area by closely walking behind them. In this scenario, the unknown individual strikes up a conversation to create a pretext and then takes advantage of the employee's entry by holding the door open and gaining unauthorized access.
Shoulder surfing involves the unauthorized observation of someone entering sensitive information, such as a password or PIN. It doesn't apply to the scenario where someone physically follows another person into a secure building.
How in the world would this be shoulder surfing lol clearly tailgating
Tailgating/piggybacking
C. Tailgating
Definite it’s C
Nope. Definitely A. Shoulder surfing is when someone is looking over the targets shoulder to see their computer screen. This is 100000% tailgating... following someone in without badging in.
Whoops, I meant C, and I was supposed to be replying to someone that said A. WHOOPS
It's C: Tailgating. This reminds me of piggybacking. I stand to be corrected!
same here, reminds me of piggybacking
The answer is A.
"The employee scans the required badge at the door WHILE the unknown individual holds the door open..." The question never said the stranger went in with the employee but it stressed "WHILE", depicting that at that moment, the stranger was shoulder-surfing the employee.
This question embodies paying attention to details - an attribute of a good Security Analyst. I believe the answer is A.
It should be shoulder snurfing because the employee knows d person was behind him and discussing. in Tailgating, he would not know someone was following him
Who comes up with these answers? C it is.
I don’t like this question, it never said the unknown individual actually goes into the building. Don’t they have to follow IN someone who used their credentials?
For what it’s worth I think you’re suppose to choose tailgating here.
