Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a web application penetration test, you discover a daily cron job that calls openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -salt -in db.dump -out db.dump.enc -pass file:/root/keyfile. The CISO wants the encryption changed so an offline attacker cannot easily brute-force the passphrase using modern GPUs. Which additional openssl enc option should you recommend be added to the command?

  • -nopad

  • -base64

  • -md5

  • -pbkdf2
