Three of the 88 questions in this pack

Question 1

Before re-assigning a computer to a new employee, what data security technique does the IT department use to make sure no data is left behind by the previous user?

  1. Fingerprinting
  2. Digital watermarking
  3. Baselining
  4. Wiping
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Wiping

Wiping is the data security technique used to remove all data from a computer before reassigning it to a new employee. This process overwrites the storage media to ensure no recoverable data remains from the previous user, preventing unauthorized access to sensitive information.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Fingerprinting is a technique for identifying and authenticating users or files, not for removing data.
  • B. Digital watermarking embeds identifying information into files for ownership or authenticity verification, not data removal.
  • C. Baselining establishes a standard configuration or performance baseline for comparison and monitoring, not data deletion.

Question 2

What feature of Wireshark allows the analysis of one HTTP conversation?

  1. Follow UDP Stream
  2. Follow TCP Stream
  3. Conversation list > IPV4
  4. Setting a display filter to ‘tcp’
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B. Follow TCP Stream

Follow TCP Stream is the Wireshark feature that reconstructs and displays one complete HTTP conversation between a client and server. This function extracts the TCP stream containing the HTTP traffic, making it easy to analyze the full conversation in a readable format.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Follow UDP Stream is used for UDP traffic analysis, not HTTP which uses TCP.
  • C. Conversation list with IPV4 filter displays statistics about conversations but does not provide the detailed stream view of a single HTTP conversation.
  • D. Setting a display filter to 'tcp' filters packets but does not follow or reconstruct a single conversation stream.

Question 3

From a security perspective, how should the Root Bridge be determined in a Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) environment?

  1. Manually selected and defined by the network architect or engineer.
  2. Defined by selecting the highest Bridge ID to be the root bridge.
  3. Automatically selected by the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP).
  4. All switch interfaces become root bridges in an STP environment.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Manually selected and defined by the network architect or engineer.

From a security perspective, the Root Bridge should be manually selected and defined by the network architect or engineer. This prevents attackers from manipulating the election process through Bridge ID spoofing or other attacks. Manual configuration ensures that only the intended, trusted switch serves as the root bridge.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. While STP technically selects the highest Bridge ID as root, allowing automatic selection based on Bridge ID is a security risk, as attackers can lower their Bridge ID to become root.
  • C. Automatic selection by STP without manual oversight creates a security vulnerability where malicious devices can influence the root bridge election.
  • D. This is technically incorrect; only one switch becomes the root bridge in an STP environment, not all switch interfaces.

What makes the GCED hard

The GCED is GSEC's harder sibling, covering the same defensive territory but at the depth where the questions expect candidates to read packet captures and defend the choice of control, not just name it.

The bank goes technical fast: network traffic analysis and IDS signatures, defensible architecture and segmentation decisions, malware behaviour and endpoint response, vulnerability assessment interpretation, and the penetration testing concepts a defender needs to anticipate.

Like every GIAC exam it is open book, and like every GIAC exam the clock beats anyone whose index is not ready. 115 questions in three hours at 69% to pass is roughly 94 seconds a question, so looking everything up is not a strategy. The GSEC and GCIH question banks are a natural next step from this one.

About the exam

GCED certifies advanced enterprise defence skills beyond GSEC: defensive network infrastructure, packet and traffic analysis, penetration testing awareness, incident handling, and malware response. It is aligned to SANS SEC501: Applied Cyber Defense. Open book, proctored, DoD 8140 mapped. Valid for four years with CPEs.
