Question

An administrator has a critical group of systems running Windows XP SP3 that cannot be upgraded. The administrator wants to evaluate the ability of Traps to protect these systems and the word processing applications running on them. How should an administrator perform this evaluation?

Accepted Answer

Run a known 2015 flash exploit on a Windows XP SP3 VM, and run an exploitation tool that acts as a listener. Use the results to demonstrate Traps capabilities.

Answer

Run word processing exploits in a Windows 7 VM in a controlled and isolated environment. Document indicators of compromise and compare to Traps protection capabilities.

Answer

Prepare a Windows 7 VM. Gather information about the word processing applications, determine if some of them are vulnerable, and prepare a working exploit for at least one of them. Execute with an exploitation tool.

Answer

Gather information about the word processing applications and run them on a Windows XP SP3 VM. Determine if any of the applications are vulnerable and run the exploit with an exploitation tool.
