Q1Domain Verified
In the context of advanced threat hunting using CloudTrail logs within the "AWS CloudTrail Log Analysis & Threat Hunting Course 2026," which of the following log events, when analyzed in conjunction with CloudWatch alarms, would be most indicative of a potential credential stuffing attack targeting an AWS account?
A series of `DeleteTrail` events initiated by a root user, immediately followed by a surge in `PutObject` operations on S3 buckets containing sensitive data.
A spike in `RunInstances` events for EC2 instances with unusual AMIs and configurations, accompanied by frequent `DescribeInstances` calls from an unfamiliar IAM role.
A sudden increase in `CreateBucket` events across multiple regions, with each bucket named using a pattern related to sensitive data.
A high volume of `ConsoleLogin` events originating from a single, unusual IP address range, followed by a series of `CreateUser` and `AttachUserPolicy` events.

Which CloudTrail event filter combination, when configured in CloudWatch Logs, would be most effective in detecting such activity? A) Filter for `eventSource: s3.amazonaws.com` AND `eventName: GetObject` OR `eventName: ListObjects` where the `sourceIPAddress` is not within a known corporate IP range and the `userIdentity.type` is `IAMUser`.
Filter for `eventname: CreateVPC` OR `eventname: DeleteSubnet` where the `awsRegion` is consistently changing across multiple calls.
Filter for `eventSource: ec2.amazonaws.com` AND `eventName: StopInstances` OR `eventName: TerminateInstances` where the `userIdentity.arn` contains "sensitive-data-access-role".
Filter for `eventSource: iam.amazonaws.com` AND `eventName: DeletePolicyVersion` OR `eventName: DetachUserPolicy` where the `requestParameters.policyArn` matches a policy granting broad access.
Q3Domain Verified
According to the principles taught in "The Complete AWS CloudTrail Log Analysis & Threat Hunting Course 2026," when performing advanced threat hunting for unauthorized data access, what is the significance of correlating `ConsoleLogin` events with `Describe*` API calls across multiple AWS services?
It helps identify compromised administrative credentials being used to enumerate resources before attempting unauthorized modifications.
It is primarily used to audit compliance with organizational policies regarding resource provisioning.
It confirms that legitimate users are accessing resources as expected for their roles and responsibilities.
It is a method for detecting denial-of-service attacks by monitoring for excessive resource discovery.
