010-160 Exam - Question 74


Which one of the following statements concerning Linux passwords is true?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

In Linux, passwords are stored only in hashed form for security purposes. This means that the actual passwords are not stored in plaintext but as a result of a hashing function, making it challenging to retrieve the original password from the stored hash. This method enhances the security of user credentials against unauthorized access.
