CompTIA CySA+ (CS0-003) — Question 31
A security analyst is performing vulnerability scans on the network. The analyst installs a scanner appliance, configures the subnets to scan, and begins the scan of the network. Which of the following would be missing from a scan performed with this configuration?
Answer options
- A. Operating system version
- B. Registry key values
- C. Open ports
- D. IP address
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is B, as registry key values are typically not accessible during a network scan since they are part of the system's local configuration. In contrast, the operating system version, open ports, and IP addresses can usually be detected through network scanning techniques.
