A security tester suspects that a company's hiring advertisements reveal information about systems and software versions. Which activity gathers the most valuable details directly from those advertisements?
Compile staff contact details from online directories
Check certificate logs for newly registered subdomains
Analyze public code repositories for access token exposure
Examine requirements and responsibilities mentioned for different positions
Reviewing what roles require for specific experience and what tools or versions are mentioned can uncover infrastructure details, software stacks, or potential weaknesses. Scraping staff email addresses does not reveal those technical details. Examining code commits is focused on source code rather than hiring information. Consulting certificate transparency logs targets subdomain usage instead of the content in postings.
