Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

While conducting an internal penetration test you gain SYSTEM access to a Windows 10 endpoint. Blue team procedures include resetting all Run/RunOnce registry entries, purging user Startup folders, and comparing service and scheduled-task configurations to a gold image every night. They do not audit WMI. Which approach offers a durable, stealthy persistence channel after reboot?

  • Register a permanent WMI event consumer that launches your payload when the system boots.

  • Drop a hidden shortcut to your payload in the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder.

  • Modify the ImagePath of the Print Spooler service to execute your backdoor on startup.

  • Add a malicious value under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce that points to your payload.
