CompTIA SecurityX (CAS-005) — Question 33

An analyst needs to evaluate all images and documents that are publicly shared on a website. Which of the following would be the best tool to evaluate the metadata of these files?

Answer options

• A. OllyDbg
• B. ExifTool
• C. Volatility
• D. Ghidra

Correct answer: B

Explanation

ExifTool is specifically designed for reading, writing, and editing metadata in various file formats, making it the ideal choice for this task. OllyDbg, Volatility, and Ghidra serve different purposes, such as debugging, memory analysis, and reverse engineering, respectively, and are not suitable for metadata evaluation.
