Episode 40 — Physical and Network Attack Indicators (2.5)

from Certified: The CompTIA Security+ V8 / SY0-801 Audio Course Hosted by Jason Edwards

This episode explains indicators associated with physical and network attacks and how evidence may appear across different sources. Physical attack indicators include tailgating, shoulder surfing, skimming, forced entry, missing equipment, access badge anomalies, and surveillance footage that shows unauthorized presence. Network attack indicators may include DDoS traffic spikes, downgrade attempts, rogue devices, sniffing, spoofing, on-path attacks, DNS manipulation, and cache poisoning. For Security+ scenarios, students should understand how logs, user reports, wireless alerts, network behavior, authentication records, and physical security records can combine into a clearer investigation picture. The practical focus is identifying suspicious patterns and choosing appropriate containment or escalation steps.
