Disable Unused Services/Close Unneeded Ports Any services that are not required on the server should be disabled. Only those required for the server to perform its role in the network should be left on. The easiest way to do this is to install a host firewall on the system and adopt a “disable by default” policy with respect to services by closing the port used for the service. Then manually enable any you need.
Okay, I think C and D. Here's why. For answer C, you can block port 80 at the firewall. Done! Now for answer D, running port scan on server will identify other unauthorized open ports. The answer can't be F because, it states NIDS, and the question is only focus on a single server. Which means if anything, you would install a HIDS to detect intrusions. Boom!
Lets talk about why the server is not functioning as a web server and what is it functioning as? File server? Directory Service? Doesn't state... Why is port 80 open if this server is not functioning as a web server? Maybe insider threat? rough employee? someone with elevated or admin rights messing with the server? horrible question and a trick.
