CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 Practice Question

During an active reconnaissance phase, a penetration tester is seeking to uncover detailed security weaknesses of the network devices in an organization's infrastructure. What technique should the tester employ to yield the most thorough assessment of the devices' configuration and detectability of unknown vulnerabilities?

  • Launching a social engineering attack aimed at the IT department to gather internal documentation on network devices

  • Analyzing network traffic for anomalies that might indicate the presence and types of network devices

  • Executing a credentialed vulnerability scan across the network to interactively assess the devices

  • Investigating the organization's public digital footprint for references to network devices and configurations
