NEW QUESTION 61
Which of the following types of information would most likely be included in an application security assessment report addressed to developers? (Select two).

Use of deprecated Javadoc tags

Use of non-optimized sort functions

Non-compliance with code style guide

A cyclomatic complexity score of 3

Poor input sanitization

Null pointer dereferences

An application security assessment report aimed at developers typically includes information critical to understanding and improving the security and stability of the application. Poor input sanitization and null pointer dereferences are two such issues that are directly related to application security and can lead to significant vulnerabilities such as injection attacks or crashes. Poor input sanitization exposes the application to various forms of injection attacks, where an attacker could supply malicious input to gain unauthorized access or disrupt application services. Null pointer dereferences, on the other hand, can lead to application crashes or unexpected behavior, which can be exploited to compromise application security or availability.
Highlighting these issues helps developers focus on areas that need immediate attention to enhance the application’s security posture.

NEW QUESTION 62
A penetration tester is looking for vulnerabilities within a company’s web application that are in scope. The penetration tester discovers a login page and enters the following string in a field:
1;SELECT Username, Password FROM Users;
Which of the following injection attacks is the penetration tester using?

Blind SQL

Boolean SQL

Stacked queries

Error-based

The penetration tester is using a type of injection attack called stacked queries, which means appending multiple SQL statements separated by semicolons in a single input field. This can allow the penetration tester to execute arbitrary SQL commands on the database server, such as selecting username and password from users table.

NEW QUESTION 63
Performing a penetration test against an environment with SCADA devices brings additional safety risk because the:

devices produce more heat and consume more power.

devices are obsolete and are no longer available for replacement.

protocols are more difficult to understand.

devices may cause physical world effects.

“A significant issue identified by Wiberg is that using active network scanners, such as Nmap, presents a weakness when attempting port recognition or service detection on SCADA devices. Wiberg states that active tools such as Nmap can use unusual TCP segment data to try and find available ports. Furthermore, they can open a massive amount of connections with a specific SCADA device but then fail to close them gracefully.” And since SCADA and ICS devices are designed and implemented with little attention having been paid to the operational security of these devices and their ability to handle errors or unexpected events, the presence idle open connections may result into errors that cannot be handled by the devices.

NEW QUESTION 64
A penetration tester conducted an assessment on a web server. The logs from this session show the following:
http://www.thecompanydomain.com/servicestatus.php?serviceID=892&serviceID=892 ‘ ; DROP TABLE SERVICES; — Which of the following attacks is being attempted?

Clickjacking

Session hijacking

Parameter pollution

Cookie hijacking

Cross-site scripting

NEW QUESTION 65
Which of the following is the most common vulnerability associated with loT devices that are directly connected to the internet?

Unsupported operating systems

Susceptibility to DDoS attacks

Inability to network

The existence of default passwords

IoT devices are often shipped with default passwords, which are easily discoverable and widely known.
Many users fail to change these default credentials, leaving the devices vulnerable to unauthorized access.
This issue is one of the most common vulnerabilities associated with IoT devices connected directly to the internet. Attackers can exploit these default passwords to gain control over the devices, potentially leading to a range of malicious activities, including the recruitment of the devices into botnets for Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, data breaches, or other cybercriminal activities.

NEW QUESTION 66
A penetration tester assesses a complex web application and wants to explore potential security weaknesses by searching for subdomains that might have existed in the past. Which of the following tools should the penetration tester use?

Censys.io

Shodan

Wayback Machine

SpiderFoot

The Wayback Machine is an online tool that archives web pages over time, allowing users to see how a website looked at various points in its history. This can be extremely useful for penetration testers looking to explore potential security weaknesses by searching for subdomains that might have existed in the past.
Step-by-Step Explanation
Accessing the Wayback Machine:
Go to the Wayback Machine website: archive.org/web.
Enter the URL of the target website you want to explore.
Navigating Archived Pages:
The Wayback Machine provides a timeline and calendar interface to browse through different snapshots taken over time.
Select a snapshot to view the archived version of the site. Look for links, subdomains, and resources that may no longer be available in the current version of the website.
Identifying Subdomains:
Examine the archived pages for references to subdomains, which might be visible in links, scripts, or embedded content.
Use the information gathered to identify potential entry points or older versions of web applications that might still be exploitable.
Tool Integration:
Tools like Burp Suite or SpiderFoot can integrate with the Wayback Machine to automate the discovery process of archived subdomains and resources.
Real-World Example:
During a penetration test, a tester might find references to oldadmin.targetsite.com in an archived page from several years ago. This subdomain might no longer be listed in DNS but could still be accessible, leading to potential security vulnerabilities.
Reference from Pentesting Literature:
In various penetration testing guides and HTB write-ups, using the Wayback Machine is a common technique for passive reconnaissance, providing historical context and revealing past configurations that might still be exploitable.

NEW QUESTION 67
A CentOS computer was exploited during a penetration test. During initial reconnaissance, the penetration tester discovered that port 25 was open on an internal Sendmail server. To remain stealthy, the tester ran the following command from the attack machine:

Which of the following would be the BEST command to use for further progress into the targeted network?

nc 10.10.1.2

ssh 10.10.1.2

nc 127.0.0.1 5555

ssh 127.0.0.1 5555

NEW QUESTION 68
A penetration tester has established an on-path position between a target host and local network services but has not been able to establish an on-path position between the target host and the Internet. Regardless, the tester would like to subtly redirect HTTP connections to a spoofed server IP. Which of the following methods would BEST support the objective?

Gain access to the target host and implant malware specially crafted for this purpose.

Exploit the local DNS server and add/update the zone records with a spoofed A record.

Use the Scapy utility to overwrite name resolution fields in the DNS query response.

Proxy HTTP connections from the target host to that of the spoofed host.

NEW QUESTION 69
A penetration tester has identified several newly released CVEs on a VoIP call manager. The scanning tool the tester used determined the possible presence of the CVEs based off the version number of the service.
Which of the following methods would BEST support validation of the possible findings?

Manually check the version number of the VoIP service against the CVE release

Test with proof-of-concept code from an exploit database

Review SIP traffic from an on-path position to look for indicators of compromise

Utilize an nmap -sV scan against the service

Testing with proof-of-concept code from an exploit database is the best method to support validation of the possible findings, as it will demonstrate whether the CVEs are actually exploitable on the target VoIP call manager. Proof-of-concept code is a piece of software or script that shows how an attacker can exploit a vulnerability in a system or application. An exploit database is a repository of publicly available exploits, such as Exploit Database or Metasploit.

NEW QUESTION 70
A penetration tester who is doing a company-requested assessment would like to send traffic to another system using double tagging. Which of the following techniques would BEST accomplish this goal?

RFID cloning

RFID tagging

Meta tagging

Tag nesting

since vlan hopping requires 2 vlans to be nested in a single packet. Double tagging occurs when an attacker adds and modifies tags on an Ethernet frame to allow the sending of packets through any VLAN. This attack takes advantage of how many switches process tags. Most switches will only remove the outer tag and forward the frame to all native VLAN ports. With that said, this exploit is only successful if the attacker belongs to the native VLAN of the trunk link.
https://cybersecurity.att.com/blogs/security-essentials/vlan-hopping-and-mitigation Tag nesting is a technique that involves inserting two VLAN tags into an Ethernet frame to bypass VLAN hopping prevention mechanisms. The first tag is stripped by the first switch, and the second tag is processed by the second switch, allowing the frame to reach a different VLAN than intended. RFID cloning is a technique that involves copying the data from an RFID tag to another tag or device. RFID tagging is a technique that involves attaching an RFID tag to an object or person for identification or tracking purposes.
Meta tagging is a technique that involves adding metadata to web pages or files for search engine optimization or classification purposes.

NEW QUESTION 71
Which of the following assessment methods is MOST likely to cause harm to an ICS environment?

Active scanning

Ping sweep

Protocol reversing

Packet analysis

NEW QUESTION 72
Penetration tester has discovered an unknown Linux 64-bit executable binary. Which of the following tools would be BEST to use to analyze this issue?

Peach

WinDbg

GDB

OllyDbg

OLLYDBG, WinDBG, and IDA are all debugging tools that support Windows environments. GDB is a Linuxspecific debugging tool.
GDB is a tool that can be used to analyze and debug executable binaries, especially on Linux systems. GDB can disassemble, decompile, set breakpoints, examine memory, modify registers, and perform other operations on binaries. GDB can help a penetration tester understand the functionality, behavior, and vulnerabilities of an unknown binary. Peach is a tool that can be used to perform fuzzing, which is a technique of sending malformed or random data to a target to trigger errors or crashes. WinDbg and OllyDbg are tools that can be used to analyze and debug executable binaries, but they are mainly designed for Windows systems.

NEW QUESTION 73
During a penetration tester found a web component with no authentication requirements. The web component also allows file uploads and is hosted on one of the target public web the following actions should the penetration tester perform next?

Continue the assessment and mark the finding as critical.

Attempting to remediate the issue temporally.

Notify the primary contact immediately.

Shutting down the web server until the assessment is finished

The penetration tester should notify the primary contact immediately, as this is a serious security issue that may compromise the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the web server and its data. A web component with no authentication requirements and file upload capabilities can allow an attacker to upload malicious files, such as web shells, backdoors, or malware, to the web server and gain remote access or execute arbitrary commands on the web server. This can lead to further attacks, such as data theft, data corruption, privilege escalation, lateral movement, or denial of service. The penetration tester should inform the primary contact of the issue and its potential impact, and provide recommendations for remediation, such as implementing authentication mechanisms, restricting file upload types and sizes, or scanning uploaded files for malware. The other options are not appropriate actions for the penetration tester at this stage.
Continuing the assessment and marking the finding as critical would delay the notification and remediation of the issue, which may increase the risk of exploitation by other attackers. Attempting to remediate the issue temporarily would interfere with the normal operation of the web server and may cause unintended consequences or damage. Shutting down the web server until the assessment is finished would disrupt the availability of the web server and its services, and may violate the scope or agreement of the assessment.

NEW QUESTION 74
A customer adds a requirement to the scope of a penetration test that states activities can only occur during normal business hours. Which of the following BEST describes why this would be necessary?

To meet PCI DSS testing requirements

For testing of the customer’s SLA with the ISP

Because of concerns regarding bandwidth limitations

To ensure someone is available if something goes wrong

NEW QUESTION 75
Which of the following is the MOST effective person to validate results from a penetration test?

Third party

Team leader

Chief Information Officer

Client

NEW QUESTION 76
In Python socket programming, SOCK_DGRAM type is:

reliable.

matrixed.

connectionless.

slower.

In Python socket programming, SOCK_DGRAM type is connectionless. This means that the socket does not establish a reliable connection between the sender and the receiver, and does not guarantee that the packets will arrive in order or without errors. SOCK_DGRAM type is used for UDP (User Datagram Protocol) sockets, which are faster and simpler than TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) sockets3.

NEW QUESTION 77
During a penetration test, the domain names, IP ranges, hosts, and applications are defined in the:

SOW.

SLA.

ROE.

NDA

NEW QUESTION 78
Which of the following members of a client organization are most likely authorized to provide a signed authorization letter prior to the start date of a penetration test?

The IT department

The executive management team and legal personnel

Organizational security personnel

The human resources team

NEW QUESTION 79
A red team completed an engagement and provided the following example in the report to describe how the team gained access to a web server:
x’ OR role LIKE ‘%admin%
Which of the following should be recommended to remediate this vulnerability?

Multifactor authentication

Encrypted communications

Secure software development life cycle

Parameterized queries

The best recommendation to remediate this vulnerability is to use parameterized queries in the web application. Parameterized queries are a way of preventing SQL injection attacks by separating the SQL statements from the user input. This way, the user input is treated as a literal value and not as part of the SQL statement. For example, instead of using x’ OR role LIKE ‘%admin%, the user input would be passed as a parameter to a prepared statement that would check if it matches any value in the database.

NEW QUESTION 80
A penetration tester is conducting an authorized, physical penetration test to attempt to enter a client’s building during non-business hours. Which of the following are MOST important for the penetration tester to have during the test? (Choose two.)

A handheld RF spectrum analyzer

A mask and personal protective equipment

Caution tape for marking off insecure areas

A dedicated point of contact at the client

The paperwork documenting the engagement

Knowledge of the building’s normal business hours

Always carry the contact information and any documents stating that you are approved to do this.

NEW QUESTION 81
A penetration tester needs to confirm the version number of a client’s web application server. Which of the following techniques should the penetration tester use?

SSL certificate inspection

URL spidering

Banner grabbing

Directory brute forcing

Banner grabbing is a technique used to obtain information about a network service, including its version number, by connecting to the service and reading the response.
Step-by-Step Explanation
Understanding Banner Grabbing:
