The exhibit shows an entry from the FortiWeb attack log. The log identifies the Source IP as 192.168.1.11 and the Attack ID as 20000010 (brute force logins). The Action taken by FortiWeb is "Alert," which means the device has detected and logged traffic matching a known attack signature. This log entry is direct evidence that the source IP (192.168.1.11) is originating traffic that FortiWeb, the inspecting device, has classified as suspicious. The traffic is directed towards the protected host, www.example.com.

A. The "Alert" action signifies detection and logging only; it does not confirm whether the brute force attempt was successful or if any credentials were compromised.

B. The log clearly indicates that 192.168.1.11 is the Source IP and the protected host is the destination, meaning the suspicious traffic flows from the client to the server.

C. While the Count field indicates the signature was triggered 10 times, this is a specific metric. Option D provides a more fundamental description of the overall event represented by the log entry.

"Viewing log messages". The guide details the columns in the Attack Log. The Source IP column is defined as "The source IP address of the traffic

" and the Attack column shows "The name of the attack." The existence of an entry in this log for a specific source IP inherently means that the source is sending traffic flagged as an attack

which is suspicious.

"Action". The guide explains that the "Alert" action means "FortiWeb generates a log message about the traffic

but otherwise takes no action." This confirms that the log entry is for detection and does not imply the attack was successful or blocked.
