NEW QUESTION # 217
You have an EC2 instance with the following security configured:
a. ICMP inbound allowed on Security Group
b. ICMP outbound not configured on Security Group
c. ICMP inbound allowed on Network ACL
d. ICMP outbound denied on Network ACL
If Flow logs is enabled for the instance, which of the following flow records will be recorded? Choose 3 answers from the options give below Please select:

  • A. A REJECT record for the response based on the Security Group
  • B. An ACCEPT record for the request based on the Security Group
  • C. An ACCEPT record for the request based on the NACL
  • D. A REJECT record for the response based on the NACL

Answer: B,C,D

Explanation:
Explanation
This example is given in the AWS documentation as well
For example, you use the ping command from your home computer (IP address is 203.0.113.12) to your instance (the network interface's private IP address is 172.31.16.139). Your security group's inbound rules allow ICMP traffic and the outbound rules do not allow ICMP traffic however, because security groups are stateful, the response ping from your instance is allowed. Your network ACL permits inbound ICMP traffic but does not permit outbound ICMP traffic. Because network ACLs are stateless, the response ping is dropped and will not reach your home computer. In a flow log, this is displayed as 2 flow log records:
An ACCEPT record for the originating ping that was allowed by both the network ACL and the security group, and therefore was allowed to reach your instance.
A REJECT record for the response ping that the network ACL denied.
Option C is invalid because the REJECT record would not be present For more information on Flow Logs, please refer to the below URL:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/flow-loes.html
The correct answers are: An ACCEPT record for the request based on the Security Group, An ACCEPT record for the request based on the NACL, A REJECT record for the response based on the NACL Submit your Feedback/Queries to our Experts

Please select:

  • A. Use IAM Guard Duty to analyze the traffic
  • B. Use IAM WAF to analyze the traffic
  • C. Use VPC Flow logs to diagnose the traffic
  • D. Use the IAM Trusted Advisor to see what can be done.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Explanation
Option A is invalid because this can be used to check for security issues in your account, but not verify as to why you cannot reach the home page for your application Option C is invalid because this used to protect your app against application layer attacks, but not verify as to why you cannot reach the home page for your application Option D is invalid because this used to protect your instance against attacks, but not verify as to why you cannot reach the home page for your application The IAM Documentation mentions the following VPC Flow Logs capture network flow information for a VPC, subnet or network interface and stores it in Amazon CloudWatch Logs. Flow log data can help customers troubleshoot network issues; for example, to diagnose why specific traffic is not reaching an instance, which might be a result of overly restrictive security group rules. Customers can also use flow logs as a security toi to monitor the traffic that reaches their instances, to profile network traffic, and to look for abnormal traffic behaviors.
