Answers with explanations

  1. Answer: D Both types of testing are done in physical, logical, and administrative environments, and both search for vulnerabilities, but penetration testing takes the extra step of running exploits, ideally doing no harm.
  2. Answer: C After defining the scope of an audit, penetration testing includes reconnaissance, enumeration, vulnerability analysis, launching the exploit, and documenting the final report for management.
  3. Answer: B This question is intentionally vague because the real exam contains some questions like this where certain likely assumptions must be made; that is, to conduct a remote audit, there will need to be a live video feed. Dial-up internet is too slow for viewing the video stream from the audit site. Remote audits are allowed, if necessary, for example, during a worldwide pandemic. Corporate policies should cover whether an employee can be on camera. You can learn more about audits at https://iaf.nu/articles/FAQ/288.
