I am learning now for the exam ceh v6. I came across the following question:

<question>True or False?  A firewall protects networked computers from intentional hostile intrusion that could compromise confidentiality or result in data corruption or denial of service. It may be a hardware device or a software program running on a secure host computer. Hardware Firewall is easy to penetrate as compared to Software basic Firewall. </question>
<answer Correct="Yes">True</answer>
<answer Correct="No">False</answer>

True. A hardware firewall is a small metal box filled with plug openings, or ports. You hook your computer network into the box then set it up on your computer, Hardware firewall offer better performance than software version.

The first 2 sentences are correct. But I disagree with the third question that hardware firewall is easier to penetrate compared to software. Moreover, the reason that "Hardware firewall offer better performance than software version." doesn't have to do anything with penetration ease. So, if 2 sentences are correct and one is incorrect, than the overall answer should be false.

My questions:
1. Is it a typo mistake in the selection of the answer?
2. Do they really mean that hardware firewall is easier to penetrate?  If yes, what would be the reason.
3. Am I missing something?

Any input into this topic to shed some light will be highly appreciated.

Thank you. I agree with you. 

I will be happy to see a reply from those who wrote these questions and answers and correct us if needed.

Yes, it is from the official CEH stuff, Career Academy boot Camp. To each module with video there is review_quiz.

I found in other places some mistakes. It was a question about WEP.

see below:
<question>
                        WEP is used on 802.11 networks, what was it designed for?
                </question>
                <answer Correct="No">
                        WEP is designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a level of security and privacy comparable to what it usually expected of a wired LAN.
                </answer>
                <answer Correct="Yes">
                        WEP is designed to provide strong encryption to a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a lever of integrity and privacy adequate for sensible but unclassified information.
                </answer>
                <answer Correct="No">
                        WEP is designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a level of availability and
privacy comparable to what is usually expected of a wired LAN.
                </answer>
                <answer Correct="No">
                        WEP is designed to provide a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a level of privacy comparable
 to what it usually expected of a wired LAN.
                </answer>

Their answer is option 2. In my opinion it should be option 1, but I might be wrong. Maybe in their opinion, it's 2 because of the word encryption.  Will be glad to hear your opinion.


 

But what would be the correct answer in your opinion to that question?

Thanks. ;-)

I hope that such errors won't happen at the exam.
