Question 3 of 196

A penetration tester has compromised a Windows server and is attempting to achieve persistence. Which of the following would achieve that goal?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

A penetration tester attempting to achieve persistence on a compromised Windows server would likely use the Task Scheduler (schtasks.exe) to create a task that runs a script or executable at specific intervals or events, such as system startup or user logon. The command 'schtasks.exe /create' is used to set up such scheduled tasks. This method ensures that the malicious code will be executed repeatedly, thus maintaining persistence even after system reboots. While the option provided is not entirely correct, it indicates an intention to create a scheduled task, which is a common method for achieving persistence.

Question 4 of 196

A client has scheduled a wireless penetration test. Which of the following describes the scoping target information MOST likely needed before testing can begin?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

Before conducting a wireless penetration test, it is essential to know the physical location and the network ESSIDs to be tested. This ensures that the tester targets the correct network and avoids any legal issues that could arise from inadvertently accessing unauthorized or neighboring networks. Knowing the exact network ESSIDs helps in identifying the correct access points, especially in environments where multiple networks might be present.

Question 5 of 196

Which of the following BEST describes some significant security weaknesses with an ICS, such as those used in electrical utility facilities, natural gas facilities, dams, and nuclear facilities?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

ICS vendors are slow to implement adequate security controls. This aligns with well-documented issues in the field where vendors take a significant amount of time to address and patch vulnerabilities. Furthermore, security weaknesses in ICS often stem from inadequate input validation, poor access controls, and issues with security configuration, all of which fall under the purview of vendors. Therefore, the slow response by vendors in implementing necessary security measures represents a significant weakness.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
