Which of the following queries would return all artifacts that contain a SHA1 file hash?
Correct Answer:
C
To retrieve all artifacts containing a SHA1 file hash via the Splunk SOAR REST API, the appropriate query would filter for artifacts where the 'cef_sha1' field is not null, indicating that a SHA1 hash is present. The correct REST API call should use the filter parameter _filter_cef_shal isnull=False (assuming 'shal' is a typo and it should be 'sha1'). This query parameter is used to filter out artifacts that do not have a SHA1 hash, thus returning only those that do.
Which is the primary system requirement that should be increased with heavy usage of the file vault?
Correct Answer:
C
The primary system requirement that should be increased with heavy usage of the file vault is the amount of storage. The file vault is a secure repository for storing files on Phantom. The more files are stored, the more storage space is needed. The other options are not directly related to the file vault usage. See [File vault] for more information. Heavy usage of the file vault in Splunk SOAR necessitates an increase in the amount of storage available. The file vault is used to securely store files associated with cases, such as malware samples, logs, and other artifacts relevant to an investigation. As the volume of files and the size of stored data grow, ensuring sufficient storage capacity becomes critical to maintain performance and ensure that all necessary data is retained for analysis and evidence.
Which of the following are the steps required to complete a full backup of a Splunk Phantom deployment' Assume the commands are executed from /opt/phantom/bin and that no other backups have been made.
Correct Answer:
B
The correct answer is B because the steps required to complete a full backup of a Splunk Phantom deployment are to first run the --backup --backup-type full command and then run the --setup command. The --backup command creates a backup file in the /opt/phantom/backup directory. The --backup-type full option specifies that the backup file includes all the data and configuration files of the Phantom server.
The --setup command creates a configuration file that contains the encryption key and other information needed to restore the backup file. See Splunk SOAR Certified Automation Developer Track for more details.
Performing a full backup of a Splunk Phantom deployment involves using the command-line interface, primarily because Phantom's architecture and data management processes are designed to be managed at the server level for comprehensive backup and recovery. The correct sequence involves initiating a full backup first using the --backup --backup- type full option to ensure all configurations, data, and necessary components are included in the backup. Following the completion of the backup, the --setup option might be used to configure or verify the backup settings, although typically, the setup would precede backup operations in practical scenarios. This process ensures that all aspects of the Phantom deployment are preserved, including configurations, playbooks, cases, and other data, which is crucial for disaster recovery and system migration.
Which of the following are the default ports that must be configured on Splunk to allow connections from SOAR?
Correct Answer:
C
For Splunk SOAR to connect with Splunk Enterprise, certain default ports must be configured to facilitate communication between the two platforms. Typically, SplunkWeb, which serves the Splunk Enterprise web interface, uses port 8000. SplunkD, the Splunk daemon that handles most of the back-end services, listens on port 8089. The HTTP Event Collector (HEC), which allows HTTP clients to send data to Splunk, typically uses port 8088. These ports are essential for the integration, allowing SOAR to send data to Splunk for indexing, searching, and visualization. Options A, B, and D list incorrect port configurations for this purpose, making option C the correct answer based on standard Splunk configurations.
These are the default ports used by Splunk SOAR (On-premises) to communicate with the embedded Splunk Enterprise instance. SplunkWeb is the web interface for Splunk Enterprise, SplunkD is the management port for Splunk Enterprise, and HTTP Collector is the port for receiving data from HTTP Event Collector (HEC). The other options are either incorrect or not default ports. For example, option B has the SplunkWeb and SplunkD ports reversed, and option D has arbitrary port numbers that are not used by Splunk by default.
Which of the following can be edited or deleted in the Investigation page?
Correct Answer:
B
On the Investigation page in Splunk SOAR, users have the ability to edit or delete comments associated with an event or a container. Comments are generally used for collaboration and to provide additional context to an investigation. While action results, approval records, and artifact values are typically not editable or deletable to maintain the integrity of the investigative data, comments are more flexible and can be managed by users to reflect the current state of the investigation.
Investigation page allows you to view and edit various information and data related to an event or a case. One of the things that you can edit or delete in the Investigation page is the comments that you or other users have added to the activity feed. Comments are a way of communicating and collaborating with other users during the investigation process. You can edit or delete your own comments by clicking on the three-dot menu icon next to the comment and selecting the appropriate option. You can also reply to other users’ comments by clicking on the reply icon. Therefore, option B is the correct answer, as it is the only option that can be edited or deleted in the Investigation page. Option A is incorrect, because action results are the outputs of the actions or playbooks that have been run on the event or case, and they cannot be edited or deleted in the Investigation page. Option C is incorrect, because approval records are the logs of the approval requests and responses that have been made for certain actions or playbooks, and they cannot be edited or deleted in the Investigation page. Option D is incorrect, because artifact values are the data that has been collected or generated by the event or case, and they cannot be edited or deleted in the Investigation page.
