Q1Domain Verified
Within the context of AWS GuardDuty's threat intelligence feeds, which of the following data sources is primarily responsible for identifying known malicious IP addresses and domains associated with command and control (C2) infrastructure?
VPC Flow Logs
CloudTrail Logs
DNS Logs
GuardDuty's Managed Threat Intelligence Feeds
Q2Domain Verified
A security analyst observes a GuardDuty finding of type "UnauthorizedAccess:IAMUser/InstanceRecon". This finding indicates that an EC2 instance is attempting to enumerate IAM principals. What is the *most likely* underlying threat scenario this finding is trying to detect?
An attacker is attempting to steal credentials from the EC2 instance to access other AWS resources.
A legitimate application on the EC2 instance is performing routine security auditing of IAM resources.
An attacker has compromised the EC2 instance and is using it as a pivot point to discover other sensitive IAM users and roles within the AWS account.
The EC2 instance is misconfigured and has overly permissive IAM roles attached.
Q3Domain Verified
GuardDuty's ability to detect sophisticated threats relies heavily on its integration with various AWS services. When GuardDuty analyzes VPC Flow Logs, what specific type of malicious activity is it *most effectively* able to identify that might not be as readily apparent from other log sources alone?
Changes to security group configurations.
Port scanning or unusual network traffic patterns indicative of reconnaissance or exploitation attempts.
Unauthorized access to S3 buckets.
Brute-force login attempts against an EC2 instance.
