Question 1 of 385

ACME corporation has decided to setup wireless (IEEE 802.11) network in it's sales branch at Tokyo and found that channels 1, 6, 9,11 are in use by the neighboring offices. Which is the BEST channel they can use?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

Channels in the IEEE 802.11 wireless networks overlap with their adjacent channels. The non-overlapping channels usually utilized are 1, 6, and 11. Given that channels 1, 6, 9, and 11 are already in use, the best option would be channel 4 as it offers the least interference compared to others. It is far enough from channels 1, 6, and 11 to avoid significant overlap but still might slightly overlap with channel 6. Nonetheless, it presents the least interference among the given options.

Question 3 of 385

What is the MOST important document to obtain before beginning any penetration testing?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

The most important document to obtain before beginning any penetration testing is a written statement of permission. This document serves as legal consent from the organization authorizing the penetration testing activities. It ensures that the testers are legally protected and outlines the boundaries and scope of the testing activities. Without this document, any testing could be considered unauthorized and illegal.

Question 4 of 385

While reviewing traffic from a tcpdump capture, you notice the following commands being sent from a remote system to one of your web servers:

C:\>sc winternet.host.com create ncservicebinpath- "c:\tools\ncexe -I -p 2222 -e cmd.exe"

C:\>sc vJnternet.host.com query ncservice.

What is the intent of the commands?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

The first command creates a backdoor shell as a service. It uses 'sc' to create a service named 'ncservice' that will run 'ncexe' with parameters to start a listener on TCP port 2222 and execute cmd.exe. The second command queries the status of the created service to ensure it has been set up correctly.

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.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this one felt worth sharing. The questions were quite close to what actually appeared on the exam, more than I expected. I spent about a week going through the material before my test, and it helped me feel more prepared.

Passed ITIL 4 Foundation with 87%. Material was enough by itself.
