During a penetration test we determine that TCP port 22 is listening on a target host.
Knowing that SSHD is the typical service that listens on that port we attempt to validate that assumption with an SSH client but our effort Is unsuccessful. It turns out that it is actually an Apache webserver listening on the port, which type of scan would have helped us to determine what service was listening on port 22?

  • A. Version scanning
  • B. Port scanning
  • C. Network sweeping
  • D. OS fingerprinting


Answer : C

A junior penetration tester at your firm is using a non-transparent proxy for the first time to test a web server. He sees the web site In his browser but nothing shows up In the proxy.
He tells you that he just installed the non-transparent proxy on his computer and didn't change any defaults. After verifying the proxy is running, you ask him to open up his browser configuration, as shown in the figure, which of the following recommendations will correctly allow him to use the transparent proxy with his browser?


  • A. He should change the PORT: value to match the port used by the non-transparentproxy.
  • B. He should select the checkbox "use this proxy server for all protocols" for theproxy to function correctly.
  • C. He should change the HTTP PROXY value to 127.0.0.1 since the non-transparentproxy is running on the same machine as the browser.
  • D. He should select NO PROXY instead of MANUAL PROXY CONFIGURATION as thissetting is only necessary to access the Internet behind protected networks.


Answer : C

You have been contracted to perform a black box pen test against the Internet facing servers for a company. They want to know, with a high level of confidence, if their servers are vulnerable to external attacks. Your contract states that you can use all tools available to you to pen test the systems. What course of action would you use to generate a report with the lowest false positive rate?

  • A. Use a port scanner to find open service ports and generate a report listing allvulnerabilities associated with those listening services.
  • B. Use a vulnerability or port scanner to find listening services and then try to exploitthose services.
  • C. Use a vulnerability scanner to generate a report of vulnerable services.
  • D. Log into the system and record the patch levels of each service then generate areport that lists known vulnerabilities for all the running services.
