You are an Ethical Hacker who is auditing the ABC company. When you verify the NOC one of the machines
has 2 connections, one wired and the other wireless. When you verify the configuration of this Windows system
you find two static routes.
route add 10.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1
route add 0.0.0.0 mask 255.0.0.0 199.168.0.1
What is the main purpose of those static routes?
A.
Both static routes indicate that the traffic is external with different gateway.
B.
The first static route indicates that the internal traffic will use an external gateway and the second static
route indicates that the traffic will be rerouted.
C.
Both static routes indicate that the traffic is internal with different gateway.
D.
The first static route indicates that the internal addresses are using the internal gateway and the second
static route indicates that all the traffic that is not internal must go to an external gateway.
You need to fix this question. The second mask is bad. With the mask being 255.0.0.0 it is saying only IPs that have a first octet of 0 would match the route statement. When what you are trying to do is set a gateway of last resort which should be a mask of 0.0.0.0. In fact I do not think any system would actually let you set a mask off 255.0.0.0 when the IP is listed as 0.0.0.0.
