Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During a web-server assessment, you run "nmap -p 80,443 --script http-methods " against an Internet-facing Apache 2.4 host. The script reports that GET, HEAD, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE, and PATCH are allowed and that PUT requests are not restricted by a WebDAV ACL. What is the most effective next step to attempt remote compromise?

  • Send an HTTP TRACE request to harvest authentication cookies through cross-site tracing.

  • Issue repeated HTTP DELETE requests to critical resources to crash the site and trigger a system reboot.

  • Use the OPTIONS method to identify the Apache version string and search for a public exploit.

  • Upload a server-side script via an HTTP PUT request and browse to it to obtain a web shell.
