EC-COUNCIL EC Council Certified Incident Handler (ECIH v3) Sample Questions:

Question #1
GlobalCorp, a leading software development company, recently launched a cloud-based CRM application. However, within a week, customers reported unauthorized access incidents. On investigation, it was discovered that the vulnerability was due to improper session management, allowing session fixation attacks. How should GlobalCorp address this vulnerability?

A. Increase the complexity of user passwords.
B. Store session IDs in encrypted cookies.
C. Implement CAPTCHA on all login pages.
D. Rotate session tokens after successful login.

Question #2
An international insurance provider observed a sharp rise in endpoint infections across geographically dispersed offices. The IR team correlated the infections with recent access to a series of trusted informational websites visited during routine research activities. After cross- referencing network telemetry and endpoint logs, analysts uncovered that these sites had been covertly altered by threat actors to include obfuscated scripts that launched on page render. Upon visiting the tampered content, a series of exploit chains were executed, targeting unpatched vulnerabilities in rendering engines of commonly used client applications. The malicious code was injected directly into volatile memory, allowing the payload to operate stealthily without initiating file creation events or prompting user interaction. Security tools failed to detect the compromise in real time due to the absence of conventional indicators such as user-triggered executions or external file transfers. Which web-based malware delivery technique is MOST consistent with the described attack?

A. Malvertising via poisoned ad banners embedded in third-party ad-serving platforms.
B. Drive-by download attacks that exploit browser-level weaknesses.
C. Spam email propagation using malicious file attachments disguised as legitimate documents.
D. Search engine poisoning using black hat search engine optimization.

Question #3
After a successful exploitation attempt, a university web server started exhibiting anomalies such as high server load, random form submission errors, and repeated spam complaints. Hosting providers flagged the domain as suspicious and disabled the web application. The IH&R team discovered new unknown files within the web root directory. Which action would be most appropriate to contain the incident and avoid further damage?

A. Run a stress test to ensure hosting capacity is sufficient.
B. Reconfigure form validations for improved user experience.
C. Perform a scan to identify injection points and isolate the affected component from the network.
D. Immediately re-enable the application after restoring from backup.

Question #4
Post an upgrade in their global communication systems, NewsNet Corp., a media conglomerate, experienced anomalies. Subsequent analysis revealed malware that subtly altered news content, skewing information. Having an AI-based content checker and a network segregation tool, what's the immediate approach?

A. Roll back the global communication system's upgrade.
B. Notify viewers about potential misinformation.
C. Segregate affected networks, isolating the compromised systems.
D. Use the AI checker to identify and correct skewed content.

Question #5
As a senior network security analyst at a multinational corporation, you are part of an expert team overseeing the security of a complex network. An alert comes through one morning, indicating potential unauthorized access through a vulnerable Wi-Fi connection in one of your global offices.
The nature of the breach suggests possible intellectual property theft. Your team is assigned to validate and respond to the incident. In this complex scenario, what is the primary goal of a network security incident response plan?

A. Expanding the company's global reach and market share
B. Identifying, containing, eradicating, and recovering from the incident
