0Sam's organization uses a DNS black hole to prevent access to known malicious sites. The organization relies on a reputation service feed that is used to add the known malicious domains and IP addresses. DNS lookups that would go to those sites is sent to an internal redirect site that lets users know the site is inaccessible. Sam reviews the logs to determine if a system is trying to access those blocked sites regularly. What type of indicator of compromise is Sam looking for?
Answer Options
A
Blocked content
B
Resource inaccessibility
C
Missing logs
D
Published or documented indicators
Correct Answer: A
Explanation
Sam is using blocked content logging to determine what systems may be compromised and attempting to connect to malicious domains and if users are trying to access those IP addresses or domains. This can help Sam intervene with individual users and can also help identify infected systems. Resource inaccessibility is typically an unintentional indicator rather than a result of a security measure as described here. No logs are missing, and there is not a specific indicator of compromise that was described or published listed in the question.
