NEW QUESTION # 22
Your DevOps team would like to provision VMs in GCP via a CICD pipeline. They would like to integrate Vault to protect the credentials used by the tool. Which secrets engine would you recommend?

  • A. Key/Value secrets engine version 2
  • B. Google Cloud Secrets Engine
  • C. SSH secrets engine
  • D. Identity secrets engine

Answer: B

Explanation:
The Google Cloud Secrets Engine is the best option for the DevOps team to provision VMs in GCP via a CICD pipeline and integrate Vault to protect the credentials used by the tool. The Google Cloud Secrets Engine can dynamically generate GCP service account keys or OAuth tokens based on IAM policies, which can be used to authenticate and authorize the CICD tool to access GCP resources. The credentials are automatically revoked when they are no longer used or when the lease expires, ensuring that the credentials are short-lived and secure. The DevOps team can configure rolesets or static accounts in Vault to define the scope and permissions of the credentials, and use the Vault API or CLI to request credentials on demand. The Google Cloud Secrets Engine also supports generating access tokens for impersonated service accounts, which can be useful for delegating access to other service accounts without storing or managing their keys1.
The Identity Secrets Engine is not a good option for this use case, because it does not generate GCP credentials, but rather generates identity tokens that can be used to access other Vault secrets engines or namespaces2. The Key/Value Secrets Engine version 2 is also not a good option, because it does not generate dynamic credentials, but rather stores and manages static secrets that the user provides3. The SSH Secrets Engine is not a good option either, because it does not generate GCP credentials, but rather generates SSH keys or OTPs that can be used to access remote hosts via SSH4.

NEW QUESTION # 23
When looking at Vault token details, which key helps you find the paths the token is able to access?

  • A. Meta
  • B. Accessor
  • C. Policies
  • D. Path

Answer: C

Explanation:
When looking at Vault token details, the policies key helps you find the paths the token is able to access. Policies are a declarative way to grant or forbid access to certain paths and operations in Vault. Policies are written in HCL or JSON and are attached to tokens by name. Policies are deny by default, so an empty policy grants no permission in the system. A token can have one or more policies associated with it, and the effective policy is the union of all the individual policies. You can view the token details by using the vault token lookup command or the auth/token/lookup API endpoint. The output will show the policies key with a list of policy names that are attached to the token. You can also view the contents of a policy by using the vault policy read command or the sys/policy API endpoint. The output will show the rules key with the HCL or JSON representation of the policy. The rules will specify the paths and the capabilities (such as create, read, update, delete, list, etc.) that the policy allows or denies.

NEW QUESTION # 24
How many Shamir's key shares are required to unseal a Vault instance?

  • A. The threshold number of key shares
  • B. All key shares
  • C. One or more keys
  • D. A quorum of key shares

Answer: A

Explanation:
Shamir's Secret Sharing is a cryptographic algorithm that allows a secret to be split into multiple parts, called key shares, such that a certain number of key shares are required to reconstruct the secret. The number of key shares and the threshold number are configurable parameters that depend on the desired level of security and availability. Vault uses Shamir's Secret Sharing to protect its master key, which is used to encrypt and decrypt the data encryption key that secures the Vault data. When Vault is initialized, it generates a master key and splits it into a configured number of key shares, which are then distributed to trusted operators. To unseal Vault, the threshold number of key shares must be provided to reconstruct the master key and decrypt the data encryption key. This process ensures that no single operator can access the Vault data without the cooperation of other key holders.

NEW QUESTION # 25
Examine the command below. Output has been trimmed.

Which of the following statements describe the command and its output?

  • A. Configures the AppRole auth method with user specified role ID and secret ID
  • B. Generated token is an orphan token which can be renewed indefinitely
  • C. Missing a default token policy
  • D. Generated token's TTL is 60 hours

Answer: B,D

Explanation:
The command shown in the image is:
vault token create -policy=approle -orphan -period=60h
This command creates a new token with the following characteristics:
It has the policy "approle" attached to it, which grants or denies access to certain paths and operations in Vault according to the policy rules. The policy can be defined by using the vault policy write command or the sys/policy API endpoint12.
It is an orphan token, which means it has no parent token and it will not be revoked when its parent token is revoked. Orphan tokens can be useful for creating long-lived tokens that are not affected by the token hierarchy3.
It has a period of 60 hours, which means it has a renewable TTL of 60 hours. This means that the token can be renewed indefinitely as long as it does not go past the 60-hour mark from the last renewal time. The token's TTL will be reset to 60 hours upon each renewal. Periodic tokens are useful for creating tokens that have a fixed lifetime and can be easily revoked4.


NEW QUESTION # 26
What can be used to limit the scope of a credential breach?

  • A. Storage of secrets in a distributed ledger
  • B. Enable audit logging
  • C. Sharing credentials between applications
  • D. Use of a short-lived dynamic secrets

Answer: D

Explanation:
Using a short-lived dynamic secrets can help limit the scope of a credential breach by reducing the exposure time of the secrets. Dynamic secrets are generated on-demand by Vault and automatically revoked when they are no longer needed. This way, the credentials are not stored in plain text or in a static database, and they can be rotated frequently to prevent unauthorized access. Dynamic secrets also provide encryption as a service, which means that they perform cryptographic operations on data in-transit without storing any data. This adds an extra layer of security and reduces the risk of data leakage or tampering.

NEW QUESTION # 27
Which of the following vault lease operations uses a lease _ id as an argument? Choose two correct answers.

  • A. revoke
  • B. revoke -prefix
  • C. create
  • D. renew
  • E. describe

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
The vault lease operations that use a lease_id as an argument are renew and revoke. The renew operation allows a client to extend the validity of a lease associated with a secret or a token. The revoke operation allows a client to terminate a lease immediately and invalidate the secret or the token. Both operations require a lease_id as an argument to identify the lease to be renewed or revoked. The lease_id can be obtained from the response of reading a secret or creating a token, or from the vault lease list command. The other operations, revoke-prefix, create, and describe, do not use a lease_id as an argument. The revoke-prefix operation allows a client to revoke all secrets or tokens generated under a given prefix. The create operation allows a client to create a new lease for a secret. The describe operation allows a client to view information about a lease, such as its TTL, policies, and metadata.

NEW QUESTION # 28
Which of the following describes the Vault's auth method component?

  • A. It verifies a client against an internal or external system, and generates a token with root policy
  • B. It dynamically generates a unique set of secrets with appropriate permissions attached
  • C. It is responsible for durable storage of client tokens
  • D. It verifies a client against an internal or external system, and generates a token with the appropriate policies attached

Answer: D

Explanation:
The Vault's auth method component is the component that performs authentication and assigns identity and policies to a client. It verifies a client against an internal or external system, and generates a token with the appropriate policies attached. The token can then be used to access the secrets and resources that are authorized by the policies. Vault supports various auth methods, such as userpass, ldap, aws, kubernetes, etc., that can integrate with different identity providers and systems. The auth method component can also handle token renewal and revocation, as well as identity grouping and aliasing.

NEW QUESTION # 29
You have a 2GB Base64 binary large object (blob) that needs to be encrypted. Which of the following best describes the transit secrets engine?

  • A. A data key encrypts the blob locally, and the same key decrypts the blob locally.
  • B. The transit engine is not a good solution for binaries of this size.
  • C. To process such a large blob. Vault will temporarily store it in the storage backend.
  • D. Vault will store the blob permanently. Be sure to run Vault on a compute optimized machine

Answer: B

Explanation:
The transit secrets engine is not a good solution for binaries of this size, because it is designed to handle cryptographic functions on data in-transit, not data at-rest. The transit secrets engine does not store any data sent to it, so it would require sending the entire 2GB blob to Vault for encryption or decryption, which would be inefficient and impractical. A better solution would be to use the transit secrets engine to generate a data key, which is a high-entropy key that can be used to encrypt or decrypt data locally. The data key can be returned in plaintext or wrapped by another key, depending on the use case. This way, the transit secrets engine only handles the encryption or decryption of the data key, not the data itself, and the data can be stored in any primary data store.

NEW QUESTION # 30
You can build a high availability Vault cluster with any storage backend.

  • A. False
  • B. True

Answer: A

Explanation:
Not all storage backends support high availability mode for Vault. Only the storage backends that support locking can enable Vault to run in a multi-server mode where one server is active and the others are standby. Some examples of storage backends that support high availability mode are Consul, Integrated Storage, and ZooKeeper. Some examples of storage backends that do not support high availability mode are Filesystem, MySQL, and PostgreSQL.

NEW QUESTION # 31
The key/value v2 secrets engine is enabled at secret/ See the following policy:

Which of the following operations are permitted by this policy? Choose two correct answers.

  • A. vault kv put secret/webapp1 apikey-"ABCDEFGHI] K123M"
  • B. vault kv list secret/super-secret
  • C. vault kv get secret/webapp1
  • D. vault kv delete secret/super-secret
  • E. vault kv metadata get secret/webapp1

Answer: C,E

Explanation:
The policy shown in the image is:
path "secret/data/webapp1" { capabilities = ["create", "read", "update", "delete", "list"] } path "secret/data/super-secret" { capabilities = ["deny"] } This policy grants or denies access to the key/value v2 secrets engine mounted at secret/ according to the following rules:
The path "secret/data/webapp1" has the capabilities of "create", "read", "update", "delete", and "list". This means that the policy allows performing any of these operations on the secrets stored under this path. The data/ prefix is used to access the actual secret data in the key/value v2 secrets engine5. Therefore, the policy permits the operation of vault kv get secret/webapp1, which reads the secret data at secret/data/webapp16.
The path "secret/data/super-secret" has the capability of "deny". This means that the policy denies performing any operation on the secrets stored under this path. The policy overrides any other policy that might grant access to this path. Therefore, the policy does not permit the operations of vault kv delete secret/super-secret and vault kv list secret/super-secret, which delete and list the secret data at secret/data/super-secret respectively6.
The policy does not explicitly define any rules for the path "secret/metadata". The metadata/ prefix is used to access the metadata of the secrets in the key/value v2 secrets engine, such as the number of versions, the deletion status, the creation time, etc5. By default, if the policy grants any of the capabilities of "create", "read", "update", or "delete" on the data/ path, it also grants the same capabilities on the corresponding metadata/ path7. Therefore, the policy permits the operation of vault kv metadata get secret/webapp1, which reads the metadata of the secret at secret/metadata/webapp18.


NEW QUESTION # 32
You have been tasked with writing a policy that will allow read permissions for all secrets at path secret/bar. The users that are assigned this policy should also be able to list the secrets. What should this policy look like?

  • A.
  • B.
  • C.
  • D.

Answer: D

Explanation:
This policy would allow read permissions for all secrets at path secret/bar, as well as list permissions for the secret/bar/ path. The list permission is required to be able to see the names of the secrets under a given path1. The wildcard () character matches any number of characters within a single path segment, while the slash (/) character matches the end of the path2. Therefore, the policy would grant read access to any secret that starts with secret/bar/, such as secret/bar/foo or secret/bar/baz, but not to secret/bar itself. To grant list access to secret/bar, the policy needs to specify the exact path with a slash at the end. This policy follows the principle of least privilege, which means that it only grants the minimum permissions necessary for the users to perform their tasks3.
The other options are not correct because they either grant too much or too little permissions. Option A would grant both read and list permissions to all secrets under secret/bar, which is more than what is required. Option B would grant list permissions to all secrets under secret/bar, but only read permissions to secret/bar itself, which is not what is required. Option D would use an invalid character (+) in the policy, which would cause an error.

NEW QUESTION # 33
To give a role the ability to display or output all of the end points under the /secrets/apps/* end point it would need to have which capability set?

  • A. sudo
  • B. list
  • C. None of the above
  • D. update
  • E. read

Answer: A

Explanation:
To give a role the ability to display or output all of the end points under the /secrets/apps/* end point, it would need to have the list capability set. The list capability allows a role to perform any operation on any path in Vault, including reading, writing, deleting, and listing. The list capability is required for roles that need to access sensitive data or perform administrative tasks in Vault. The other capabilities are not relevant for this scenario, as they only allow specific operations on specific paths or secrets engines. Reference: Policies | Vault | HashiCorp Developer, token capabilities - Command | Vault | HashiCorp Developer


NEW QUESTION # 34
The following three policies exist in Vault. What do these policies allow an organization to do?

  • A. Encrypt, decrypt, and rewrap data using the transit engine all in one policy
  • B. Separates permissions allowed on actions associated with the transit secret engine
  • C. Nothing, as the minimum permissions to perform useful tasks are not present
  • D. Create a transit encryption key for encrypting, decrypting, and rewrapping encrypted data

Answer: A

Explanation:
The three policies that exist in Vault are:
admins: This policy grants full access to all secrets and operations in Vault. It can be used by administrators or operators who need to manage all aspects of Vault.
default: This policy grants access to all secrets and operations in Vault except for those that require specific policies. It can be used as a fallback policy when no other policy matches.
transit: This policy grants access only to the transit secrets engine, which handles cryptographic functions on data in-transit. It can be used by applications or services that need to encrypt or decrypt data using Vault.
These policies allow an organization to perform useful tasks such as:
Encrypting, decrypting, and rewrapping data using the transit engine all in one policy: This policy grants access to both the transit secrets engine and the default policy, which allows performing any operation on any secret in Vault.
Creating a transit encryption key for encrypting, decrypting, and rewrapping encrypted data: This policy grants access only to the transit secrets engine and its associated keys, which are used for encrypting and decrypting data in transit using AES-GCM with a 256-bit AES key or other supported key types.
Separating permissions allowed on actions associated with the transit secret engine: This policy grants access only to specific actions related to the transit secrets engine, such as creating keys or wrapping requests. It does not grant access to other operations or secrets in Vault.


NEW QUESTION # 35
Which of these are a benefit of using the Vault Agent?

  • A. Vault Agent will manage the lifecycle of cached tokens and leases automatically
  • B. Vault Agent will auto-discover which authentication mechanism to use
  • C. Vault Agent allows for centralized configuration of application secrets engines
  • D. Vault Agent will enforce minimum levels of encryption an application can use

Answer: A

Explanation:
Vault Agent is a client daemon that provides the following features:
Auto-Auth - Automatically authenticate to Vault and manage the token renewal process for locally-retrieved dynamic secrets.
API Proxy - Allows Vault Agent to act as a proxy for Vault's API, optionally using (or forcing the use of) the Auto-Auth token.
Caching - Allows client-side caching of responses containing newly created tokens and responses containing leased secrets generated off of these newly created tokens. The agent also manages the renewals of the cached tokens and leases.
Templating - Allows rendering of user-supplied templates by Vault Agent, using the token generated by the Auto-Auth step.
Process Supervisor Mode - Runs a child process with Vault secrets injected as environment variables.
One of the benefits of using the Vault Agent is that it will manage the lifecycle of cached tokens and leases automatically. This means that the agent will handle the token renewal and revocation logic, as well as the lease renewal and revocation logic for the secrets that are cached by the agent. This reduces the burden on the application developers and operators, and ensures that the tokens and secrets are always valid and up-to-date.

NEW QUESTION # 36
An organization would like to use a scheduler to track & revoke access granted to a job (by Vault) at completion. What auth-associated Vault object should be tracked to enable this behavior?

  • A. Token ID
  • B. Lease ID
  • C. Authentication method
  • D. Token accessor

Answer: B

Explanation:
A lease ID is a unique identifier that is assigned by Vault to every dynamic secret and service type authentication token. A lease ID contains information such as the secret path, the secret version, the secret type, etc. A lease ID can be used to track and revoke access granted to a job by Vault at completion, as it allows the scheduler to perform the following operations:
Lookup the lease information by using the vault lease lookup command or the sys/leases/lookup API endpoint. This will return the metadata of the lease, such as the expire time, the issue time, the renewable status, and the TTL.
Renew the lease if needed by using the vault lease renew command or the sys/leases/renew API endpoint. This will extend the validity of the secret or the token for a specified increment, or reset the TTL to the original value if no increment is given.
Revoke the lease when the job is completed by using the vault lease revoke command or the sys/leases/revoke API endpoint. This will invalidate the secret or the token immediately and prevent any further renewals. For example, with the AWS secrets engine, the access keys will be deleted from AWS the moment a lease is revoked.
A lease ID is different from a token ID or a token accessor. A token ID is the actual value of the token that is used to authenticate to Vault and perform requests. A token ID should be treated as a secret and protected from unauthorized access. A token accessor is a secondary identifier of the token that is used for token management without revealing the token ID. A token accessor can be used to lookup, renew, or revoke a token, but not to authenticate to Vault or access secrets. A token ID or a token accessor can be used to revoke the token itself, but not the leases associated with the token. To revoke the leases, a lease ID is required.
An authentication method is a way to verify the identity of a user or a machine and issue a token with appropriate policies and metadata. An authentication method is not an object that can be tracked or revoked, but a configuration that can be enabled, disabled, tuned, or customized by using the vault auth commands or the sys/auth API endpoints.


NEW QUESTION # 37
A user issues the following cURL command to encrypt data using the transit engine and the Vault AP:

Which payload.json file has the correct contents?

  • A.
  • B.
  • C.
  • D.

Answer: B

Explanation:
The payload.json file that has the correct contents is C. This file contains a JSON object with a single key, "plaintext", and a value that is the base64-encoded string of the data to be encrypted. This is the format that the Vault API expects for the transit encrypt endpoint1. The other files are not correct because they either have the wrong key name, the wrong value format, or the wrong JSON syntax.

NEW QUESTION # 38
Your organization has an initiative to reduce and ultimately remove the use of long lived X.509 certificates. Which secrets engine will best support this use case?

  • A. PKI
  • B. Transit
  • C. Cloud KMS
  • D. Key/Value secrets engine version 2, with TTL defined

Answer: A

Explanation:
The PKI secrets engine is designed to support the use case of reducing and ultimately removing the use of long lived X.509 certificates. The PKI secrets engine can generate dynamic X.509 certificates on demand, with short time-to-live (TTL) and automatic revocation. This eliminates the need for manual processes of generating, signing, and rotating certificates, and reduces the risk of certificate compromise or misuse. The PKI secrets engine can also act as a certificate authority (CA) or an intermediate CA, and can integrate with external CAs or CRLs. The PKI secrets engine can issue certificates for various purposes, such as TLS, SSH, code signing, email encryption, etc. Reference: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/secrets/pki1, https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/tutorials/getting-started/getting-started-dynamic-secrets


NEW QUESTION # 39
Security requirements demand that no secrets appear in the shell history. Which command does not meet this requirement?

  • A. vault kv put secret/password value-itsasecret
  • B. vault kv put secret/password value-SSECRET_VALUE
  • C. generate-password | vault kv put secret/password value
  • D. vault kv put secret/password [email protected]

Answer: A

Explanation:
The command that does not meet the security requirement of not having secrets appear in the shell history is B. vault kv put secret/password value-itsasecret. This command would store the secret value "itsasecret" in the key/value secrets engine at the path secret/password, but it would also expose the secret value in the shell history, which could be accessed by other users or malicious actors. This is not a secure way of storing secrets in Vault.
The other commands are more secure ways of storing secrets in Vault without revealing them in the shell history.
A). generate-password | vault kv put secret/password value would use a pipe to pass the output of the generate-password command, which could be a script or a tool that generates a random password, to the vault kv put command, which would store the password in the key/value secrets engine at the path secret/password. The password would not be visible in the shell history, only the commands.
C). vault kv put secret/password [email protected] would use the @ syntax to read the secret value from a file named data.txt, which could be encrypted or protected by file permissions, and store it in the key/value secrets engine at the path secret/password. The file name would be visible in the shell history, but not the secret value.
D). vault kv put secret/password value-SSECRET_VALUE would use the -S syntax to read the secret value from the environment variable SECRET_VALUE, which could be set and unset in the shell session, and store it in the key/value secrets engine at the path secret/password. The environment variable name would be visible in the shell history, but not the secret value.

NEW QUESTION # 41
When unsealing Vault, each Shamir unseal key should be entered:

  • A. Sequentially from one system that all of the administrators are in front of
  • B. While encrypted with each administrators PGP key
  • C. By different administrators each connecting from different computers
  • D. At the command line in one single command

Answer: C

Explanation:
When unsealing Vault, each Shamir unseal key should be entered by different administrators each connecting from different computers. This is because the Shamir unseal keys are split into shares that are distributed to trusted operators, and no single operator should have access to more than one share. This way, the unseal process requires the cooperation of a quorum of key holders, and enhances the security and availability of Vault. The unseal keys can be entered via multiple mechanisms from multiple client machines, and the process is stateful. The order of the keys does not matter, as long as the threshold number of keys is reached. The unseal keys should not be entered at the command line in one single command, as this would expose them to the history and compromise the security. The unseal keys should not be encrypted with each administrator's PGP key, as this would prevent Vault from decrypting them and reconstructing the master key. Reference: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/concepts/seal3, https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/commands/operator/unseal


NEW QUESTION # 42
Where can you set the Vault seal configuration? Choose two correct answers.

  • A. Vault configuration file
  • B. Vault API
  • C. Environment variables
  • D. Cloud Provider KMS
  • E. Vault CLI

Answer: A,C

Explanation:
The Vault seal configuration can be set in two ways: through the Vault configuration file or through environment variables. The Vault configuration file is a text file that contains the settings and options for Vault, such as the storage backend, the listener, the telemetry, and the seal. The seal stanza in the configuration file specifies the seal type and the parameters to use for additional data protection, such as using HSM or Cloud KMS solutions to encrypt and decrypt the root key. The seal configuration can also be set through environment variables, which will take precedence over the values in the configuration file. The environment variables are prefixed with VAULT_SEAL_ and followed by the seal type and the parameter name. For example, VAULT_SEAL_AWSKMS_REGION sets the region for the AWS KMS seal.
