A. chgrp
B. chperm
C. chmod

Answer: C

Option: The following is a list of some important options that can be provided with the
command:
Mode: Mode is written in the following format:
[ugoa] [+-=] [rwxXstugo]
The combination of ugoa specifies the users for whom the file access permissions will be
changed. In ugoa, u is for the user who owns the file, g is for other users in the file group, o is for
other users not in the file group, and a is for all users. The operator + adds the specified
permissions to the existing permissions of each file. The - operator removes, and the = character
specifies that the specified permissions are the only permissions for that file. The combination of
rwxXstugo is permission type. In rwxXstugo, r is for read, w is for write, x is for execute, X is to
execute only if the file is a directory or already has execute permission for some user, s is to set
user or group ID on execution, t is to save program text on swap device, u are the permissions
that the user who owns the file currently has for it, g are the permissions that other users in the
file group have for the file, and o are the permissions that other users not in the file group have
for the file. Answer option D is incorrect. The chown command is used to change the user or
group ownership of the files specified with the command. Answer option A is incorrect. The
chgrp command is used to change only the group ownership of the files specified with the
command. Answer option B is incorrect. There is no such command as chperm in Linux.

A. TAIL -show /var/log/messages
B. TAIL -f /var/log/messages
C. TAIL -50 /var/log/messages
D. TAIL -view /var/log/messages
Answer: B
Explanation:
The TAIL command is used to display the last few lines of a file. The default is 10. TAIL is

filename where n specifies the number of lines a user wants to view. If no value is provided for
n, ten lines will be retrieved. For example, the following command is used to view the last ten
lines of the /var/log/cron log file: TAIL /var/log/cron The following command will show the last
3 lines of the file /var/log/cron. tail -n 3 /var/log/cron Answer options A and D are incorrect. In

accept. This usually occurs due to programming errors in the application. Buffer overflow can
terminate or crash the application. Answer option A is incorrect. Certification authority (CA) is
an entity in a network, which manages security credentials and public keys for message
encryption. It issues certificates that confirm the identity and other attributes of a certificate in

the expiry date of the certificate. Answer option D is incorrect. Hoax is a false warning about a
virus. It is commonly spread through e- mail messages. Good Time and Irina viruses are some of
the well-known hoaxes. Users can verify the authenticity of such warnings by visiting various
websites of anti-virus software. Answer option B is incorrect. Hotfix is a collection of files used
by Microsoft for software updates that are released between major service pack releases. A

A. rmdir -v private.txt
B. shred -vfu private.txt
C. shred -vfuz private.txt
D. rm -vf private.txt
Answer: C

According to the scenario, John will use the shred -vfuz private.txt command. The shred

D is incorrect. This command removes the file forcibly, but it does not perform a secure deletion.
Answer option B is incorrect. This command overwrites the file forcibly with changing

171
GSEC
A. rm -rf /garbage*
B. del /garbage/*.*
C. rm -rf /garbage* /SU
D. su -c "RM -rf /garbage*"
Answer: D
Explanation:
In order to accomplish the task, you will have to use the su command. This command will switch
the user. According to the question, the command should prompt for the root user password. If
you do not specify any user account with the su command, the command switches the login for
the root user and prompts for the root user password. The -c switch with the su command passes
a single command to the shell. You can use the rm command with the -c option to remove the
required files. The -rf switch with the rm command does not confirm the user before file
deletion.
