Free CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 Practice Question

As part of a penetration testing team, you are tasked with evaluating the security of a large financial corporation's mobile banking app. The app employs certificate pinning to secure HTTPS traffic. Which of the following techniques could you leverage to bypass the certificate pinning and analyze the encrypted traffic?

  • Generating a new certificate pair for the server and replacing the pinned certificate within the app's configuration.

  • Installing an unauthorized version of the app containing a rogue certificate instead of the pinned certificate.

  • Setting up a proxy and using a Frida script to bypass the application's certificate pinning while the traffic routes through the proxy.

  • Cloning the server's actual certificate and using it in a MitM position to bypass the pinning mechanism.

  • Spoofing DNS records to redirect the app's network traffic to a server controlled by the testing team.
