During a penetration testing engagement, what type of restriction might limit the testing techniques or tools that a penetration tester is permitted to use?
The correct answer is 'Tool usage and testing technique restrictions.' These are common types of other restrictions that can be specified in the rules of engagement, limiting the types of tools and methods a penetration tester can use during an engagement. These restrictions are often imposed due to potential risks to the target environment, such as causing service disruption, or due to legal and compliance reasons. Tool restrictions may bar the use of certain aggressive or intrusive tools, while technique restrictions might limit actions like social engineering or physical security bypassing.
