CCFH-202 CrowdStrike Certified Falcon Hunter Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

_time is the SPL (Splunk) field name that can be used to automatically convert Unix times (Epoch) to UTC readable time within the Falcon Event Search. It is a default field that shows the timestamp of each event in a human-readable format. utc_time, conv_time, and time are not valid SPL field names for converting Unix times to UTC readable time.

A Falcon threat hunting lead is a piece of information that can be used to initiate or guide a threat hunting activity within the Falcon platform. A routine threat hunt query showing process executions of single letter filename (e.g., a.exe) from temporary directories is an example of a Falcon threat hunting lead, as it can indicate potentialmalicious activity that can be further investigated using Falcon data and features. Security appliance logs, help desk tickets, and external reports are not examples of Falcon threat hunting leads, as they are not directly related to the Falcon platform or data.

 IP Search is an Investigate tool that allows you to look up information about external IPs only. It shows information such as geolocation, network connection events, detection history, etc. for each external IP address that has communicated with your hosts. It does not show information about internal IPs, suspicious IPs, or both internal and external IPs.

A threat hunting framework is a methodology that guides threat hunters in planning, executing, and improving their threat hunting activities. A benefit of using a threat hunting framework is that it provides actionable, repeatable steps to conduct threat hunting in a consistent and efficient manner. A threat hunting framework does not automatically generate incident reports, eliminate false positives, or provide high fidelity threat actor attribution, as these are dependent on other factors such as data sources, tools, and analysis skills.

This process tree indicates a phishing attack, as it shows a user opening an email attachment (outlook.exe) that launches a malicious macro (cmd.exe) that downloads and executes a payload (powershell.exe) that connects to a remote server (svchost.exe). A phishing attack is a type of social engineering attack that uses deceptive emails or messages to trick users into opening malicious attachments or links that can compromise their systems or credentials.

Non-network processes are processes that are not expected to communicate over the network, such as notepad.exe. If they make an outbound network connection, it could indicate that they are compromised or maliciously used by an adversary. PowerShell running an execution policy of RemoteSigned is a default setting that allows local scripts to run without digital signatures. An Internet browser performing multiple DNS requests is a normal behavior for web browsing. PowerShell launching a PowerShell script is also a common behavior for legitimate tasks.

The file name, path, Local and Global prevalence are indicators that can provide an initial analysis of the file without relying on external sources or tools. The file name can indicate the purpose or origin of the file, such as if it is a legitimate application or a malicious payload. The file path can indicate where the file was located or executed from, such as if it was in a temporary or system directory. The Local and Globalprevalence can indicate how common or rare the file is within the environment or across all Falcon customers, which can help assess the risk or impact of the file.

The Agent ID (AID) and the Target Process ID are the elements that are required to properly execute a Process Timeline. The Agent ID (AID) is a unique identifier for each host that has a Falcon sensor installed. The Target Process ID is the decimal representation of the process identifier for the process that you want to investigate. These two elements are used to query the cloud for the events related to the process on the host. The Agent ID (AID) only, the Hostname and Local Process ID, and the Target Process ID only are not sufficient to execute a Process Timeline.

Reconnaissance and Resource Development are two tactics that are not in the Enterprise: Windows matrix of the MITRE ATT&CK Framework (version 11). These two tactics are part of the PRE-ATT&CK matrix, which covers the actions that adversaries take before compromising a target. The Enterprise: Windows matrix covers the actions that adversaries take after gaining initial access to a Windows system. Persistence, Execution, Impact, Collection, Privilege Escalation, and Initial Access are all tactics that are in the Enterprise: Windows matrix.

This Event Search query would only find the DNS lookups to the domain www randomdomain com, as it specifies the exact event type and domain name to match. The other queries would either find other events or domains that are not relevant to the question.

This is the correct answer for the same reason as above. The Hunting and Investigation guide provides sample hunting queries, select walkthroughs, and best practices for hunting with Falcon. It does not provide a detailed tutorial on writing advanced queries, a detailed summary of event names and descriptions, or recommended platform configurations and prevention settings.

 The ParentProcessld_decimal event field is what the Process Timeline Events Details table will populate the Parent Process ID and the Parent File columns with when the cloudable Event data contains it. The ParentProcessld_decimal event field is the decimal representation of the process identifier for the parent process of the target process. It can be used to trace the process ancestry and identify potential malicious activity. The ContextProcessld_decimal, RawProcessld_decimal, and RpcProcessld_decimal event fields are not used to populate the Parent Process ID and the Parent File columns.

The table command is used to produce a list of all event occurrences along with selected fields such as the full path, time, username etc. It takes one or more field names as arguments and displays them in a tabular format. The fields command is used to keep or remove fields from search results, not to display them in a list. The distinct_count command is used to count the number of distinct values of a field, not to display them in a list. The values command is used to display a list of unique values of a field within each group, not to display all event occurrences.

This is the difference between a Host Search and a Host Timeline. A Host Search is an Investigate tool that allows you to view events by category, such as process executions, network connections, file writes, etc. A Host Timeline is an Investigate tool that allows you to view all events in chronological order, without any categorization. Both tools can be used for detection investigation and proactive hunting, depending on the use case and preference. You can access a Host Search from a detection or manually enter the host details. You can also populate the Host Timeline fields manually or from other pages in Falcon.

Technique ID is the information that is provided from the MITRE ATT&CK framework in a detection’s Execution Details. Technique ID is a unique identifier for each technique in the MITRE ATT&CK framework, such as T1059 for Command and Scripting Interpreter or T1566 for Phishing. Technique ID helps to map a detection to a specific adversary behavior and tactic. Grouping Tag, Command Line, and Triggering Indicator are notinformation that is provided from the MITRE ATT&CK framework in a detection’s Execution Details.

 To view Files Written to Removable Media within a specified timeframe on a host within the Host Search page, you need to expand and refer to the Suspicious File Activity dashboard panel. The Suspicious File Activity dashboard panel shows information such as files written to removable media, files written to system directories by non-system processes, files written to startup folders, etc. The other dashboard panels do not show files written to removable media.

MITRE ATT&CK Navigator is a tool that allows a threat hunter to populate and colorize all known adversary techniques in a single view. It is based on the MITRE ATT&CK framework, which is a knowledge base of adversary behaviors and tactics. The tool enables threat hunters to create custom matrices, layers, annotations, and filters to explore and model specific adversary techniques, with links to intelligence and case studies.
