CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 Practice Question

A penetration tester is crafting an email to impersonate a senior executive of a large corporation as part of a security assessment. The goal is to manipulate another high-ranking executive into disclosing sensitive company information. Which of the following tactics would be MOST effective for this scenario?

  • Impersonate a trusted co-worker in a department not usually interacting with the executive to increase the likelihood of the executive responding due to curiosity.

  • Craft the content to seem like an urgent issue unique to the company that requires immediate attention, using specific jargon and references known only to the executive team.

  • Register a domain name that is a common misspelling of the company’s actual domain to send the email from, in the hopes that it goes unnoticed.

  • Initiate a generic email phishing campaign with a broad and common theme hoping to catch the executive among other employees.
