Q

Office mode means that:
1. Allows a security gateway to assign a remote client an IP address. After the user authenticates for a tunnel, the VPN gateway assigns a routable IP address to the remote client.
2. Users authenticate with an Internet browser and use secure HTTPS connection.
3. Secure ID client assigns a routable MAC address. After the user authenticates for a tunnel, the VPN gateway assigns a routable IP address to the remote client.
4. Local ISP (Internet service Provider) assigns a non-routable IP address to the remote user.

A

Allows a security gateway to assign a remote client an IP address. After the user authenticates for a tunnel, the VPN gateway assigns a routable IP address to the remote client.

Explanation
Office Mode enables a Security Gateway to assign internal IP addresses to SecureClient users. This IP address will not be exposed to the public network, but is encapsulated inside the VPN tunnel between the client and the Gateway. The IP to be used externally should be assigned to the client in the usual way by the Internet Service provider used for the Internet connection. This mode allows a Security Administrator to control which addresses are used by remote clients inside the local network and makes them part of the local network. The mechanism is based on an IKE protocol extension through which the Security Gateway can send an internal IP address to the client.

Which options are given on features, when editing a Role on Gaia Platform?
1. Read/Write, Read Only
2. Read Only, None
3. Read/Write, None
4. Read/Write, Read only, None

A

Read/Write, Read only, None

Explanation
Role-based administration (RBA) lets you create administrative roles for users. With RBA, an administrator can allow Gaia users to access specified features by including those features in a role and assigning that role to users. Each role can include a combination of administrative (read/write) access to some features, monitoring (read-only) access to other features, and no access to other features.

You can also specify which access mechanisms (WebUI or the CLI) are available to the user.

Note - When users log in to the WebUI, they see only those features that they have read-only or read/write access to. If they have read-only access to a feature, they can see the settings pages, but cannot change the settings.

Gaia includes these predefined roles:

adminRole - Gives the user read/write access to all features.

monitorRole- Gives the user read-only access to all features. You cannot delete or change the predefined roles.

Note - Do not define a new user for external users. An external user is one that is defined on an authentication server (such as RADIUS or TACACS) and not on the local Gaia system.

Which one of the following is the preferred licensing model? Select the Best answer.
1. Local licensing because it ties the package license to the IP-address of the gateway and has no dependency of the Security Management Server.
2. Central licensing because it ties the package license to the IP-address of the Security Management Server and has no dependency of the gateway.
3. Local licensing because it ties the package license to the MAC-address of the gateway management interface and has no Security Management Server dependency.

A

Central licensing because it ties the package license to the IP-address of the Security Management Server and has no dependency of the gateway.

Explanation
Central License

A Central License is a license attached to the Security Management server IP address, rather than the gateway IP address. The benefits of a Central License

are:

Only one IP address is needed for all licenses.

A license can be taken from one gateway and given to another.

The new license remains valid when changing the gateway IP address. There is no need to create and install a new license.

Explanation
To enable Identity Awareness:

  1. Log in to Smart Dashboard.
  2. From the Network Objects tree, expand the Check Point branch.
  3. Double-click the Security Gateway on which to enable Identity Awareness.
  4. In the Software Blades section, select Identity Awareness on the Network Security tab. The Identity Awareness Configuration wizard opens.
  5. Select one or more options. These options set the methods for acquiring identities of managed and unmanaged assets.

AD Query - Lets the Security Gateway seamlessly identify Active Directory users and computers.

Browser-Based Authentication - Sends users to a Web page to acquire identities from unidentified users. If Transparent Kerberos Authentication is configured, AD users may be identified transparently.

Terminal Servers - Identify users in a Terminal Server environment (originating from one IP address). See Choosing Identity Sources.

3. To center and to other satellites through center
4. To center only

A

1 and 4

Explanation
Smart Console

For simple hubs and spokes (or if there is only one Hub), the easiest way is to configure a VPN star community in R80 Smart Console:

  1. On the Star Community window, in the:

a. Center Gateways section, select the Security Gateway that functions as the “Hub”.

b. Satellite Gateways section, select Security Gateways as the “spokes”, or satellites.

  1. On the VPN Routing page, Enable VPN routing for satellites section, select one of these options:

a. To center and to other Satellites through center - This allows connectivity between the Security Gateways, for example if the spoke Security Gateways are DAIP Security Gateways, and the Hub is a Security Gateway with a static IP address.

b. To center, or through the center to other satellites, to internet and other VPN targets - This allows connectivity between the Security Gateways as well as the ability to inspect all communication passing through the Hub to the Internet.

  1. Create an appropriate Access Control Policy rule.
  2. NAT the satellite Security Gateways on the Hub if the Hub is used to route connections from Satellites to the Internet.

The two Dynamic Objects (DAIP Security Gateways) can securely route communication through the Security Gateway with the static IP address.

3. Starts when an Administrator publishes all the changes made on Smart Console.
4. Sessions ends when policy is pushed to the Security Gateway.

A

Starts when an Administrator logs in to the Security Management Server through Smart Console and ends when it is published.

Explanation
Administrator Collaboration

More than one administrator can connect to the Security Management Server at the same time. Every administrator has their own username, and works in a session that is independent of the other administrators.

When an administrator logs in to the Security Management Server through SmartConsole, a new editing session starts. The changes that the administrator makes during the session are only available to that administrator. Other administrators see a lock icon on object and rules that are being edited.

To make changes available to all administrators, and to unlock the objects and rules that are being edited, the administrator must publish the session.

Your manager requires you to setup a VPN to a new business partner site. The administrator from the partner site gives you his VPN settings and you notice that he setup AES 128 for IKE phase 1 and AES 256 for IKE phase 2. Why is this a problematic setup?
1. All is fine as the longest key length has been chosen for encrypting the data and a shorter key length for higher performance for setting up the tunnel.
2. Only 128 bit keys are used for phase 1 keys which are protecting phase 2, so the longer key length in phase 2 only costs performance and does not add security due to a shorter key in phase 1 .
3. All is fine and can be used as is.
4. The two algorithms do not have the same key length and so don’t work together. You will get the error … No proposal chosen…

A

Only 128 bit keys are used for phase 1 keys which are protecting phase 2, so the longer key length in phase 2 only costs performance and does not add security due to a shorter key in phase 1.

A

Pros: Application Independance, High Performance, Scalability. Cons: Low Security, No Screening above Network Layer (No “state or application context information”)

218
Q

How does the Stateful Inspection work?

A
  1. Examines the context of a packet.
  2. Monitors the state of the connection.
  3. Uses Check Point’s INSPECT Engine to extract state related information from the packet.

Stateful inspection analyzes a packet’s source and destination addresses, source and destination ports, protocol and contents. With Stateful inspection, the state of the connection is monitored and state tables are created to compile the information. State tables hold useful information in regards to monitoring performance through a Security Gateway. As a result filtering includes content that has been established by previous packets passed through the Firewall. For example, Stateful Inspection provides a security measure against port scanning by closing all ports until the specific port is requested.

Check Point’s INSPECT Engine, which is installed on a Security Gateway, is used to extract state related information from the packets and store that information in state tables. State tables are key components of the Stateful Inspection technology because they are vital in maintaining state information needed to correctly inspect packets. When new packets arrive, their contents are compared to the state tables to determine whether they are denied or permitted.

219
Q

How does Stateful Inspection and Packet Filtering Differ?

A

Stateful Inspection
* Examines the packet header and contents
* Only one rule required for each connection

Packet Filtering
* Examines the packet header
* Requires two rules for each connection

Stateful Inspection differs from Packet Filtering in that it deeply examines a packet not only in its header, but also the contents of the packet up through the Application layer to determine more about the packet than just information about its source and destination. In addition, Packet filtering requires creating two rules for each user or computer that needs to access resources. For example, if a computer with IP address 10.1.1.201 needs to access 8.8.8.8 on the Internet for DNS, an outgoing request rule is needed for connecting to the server on the Internet and a second rule is required for the incoming reply for the same connection. The creation of Stateful Inspection eliminated the need for two rules. The Firewall remembers each reply for an existing request using the state tables. Therefore only one rule is required for each connection.

D. Slow Path

A

C. High Priority Path

SecureXL is an acceleration solution that maximizes performance of the Firewall and does not compromise security. When SecureXL is enabled on a Security
Gateway, some CPU intensive operations are processed by virtualized software instead of the Firewall kernel. The Firewall can inspect and process connections more efficiently and accelerate throughput and connection rates. These are the SecureXL traffic flows:
Slow path - Packets and connections that are inspected by the Firewall and are not processed by SecureXL.
Accelerated path - Packets and connections that are offloaded to SecureXL and are not processed by the Firewall.
Medium path - Packets that require deeper inspection cannot use the accelerated path. It is not necessary for the Firewall to inspect these packets, they can be offloaded and do not use the slow path. For example, packets that are inspected by IPS cannot use the accelerated path and can be offloaded to the IPS PSL
(Passive Streaming Library). SecureXL processes these packets more quickly than packets on the slow path.

Q

What is the difference between Hide NAT and Static NAT?

A

Hide NAT is a solution that only allows outgoing connections. It involves translating many private addresses to one public address. Using Hide NAT, the defined hosts and networks share the same address when their traffic is routed by the gateway. Different source port numbers are used to identify internal IP addresses on the one shared IP address. The source IP address is changed to the shared address and the source port is modified to the identifier port. Hide NAT is most often used to allow internal users access to external resources.

Static NAT allows both incoming and outgoing connections. It involves the translation of one private IP address to a unique public IP address to the private address. Static NAT allows a host with a private IP address to be translated to a unique public address. Static NAT allows a host with a private IP address to be translated to a unique public address. This method of translation is often used for Internet Web Servers and Check Point Security Management Servers. Any application that requires both inbound and outbound connectivity, or the ability for external hosts to connect to the servers requires a Static NAT configuration.
