On a Thursday afternoon, a network intrusion detection sensor records vulnerability scanning activity directed at internal hosts that is being generated by an internal IP address. Because the intrusion detection analyst is unaware of any authorized, scheduled vulnerability scanning activity, she reports the activity to the incident response team. When the team begins the analysis, it discovers that the activity has stopped and that there is no longer a host using the IP address. The following are additional questions for this scenario: 1. What data sources might contain information regarding the identity of the vulnerability scanning host? 2. How would the team identify who had been performing the vulnerability scans? 3. How would the handling of this incident differ if the vulnerability scanning were directed at the organization's most critical hosts? 4. How would the handling of this incident differ if the vulnerability scanning were directed at external hosts? 5. How would the handling of this incident differ if the internal IP address was associated with the organization's wireless guest network? 6. How would the handling of this incident differ if the physical security staff discovered that someone had broken into the facility half an hour before the vulnerability scanning occurred?
