CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 178

A systems administrator wants to verify the word "qwerty" has not been used as a password on any of the administrative web consoles in a network. Which of the following will achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. A service availability scan
• B. An agent-based vulnerability scan
• C. A default and common credentialed scan
• D. A network port scan

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as a default and common credentialed scan specifically checks for the use of common passwords like 'qwerty' across systems. The other options, such as A and D, do not focus on password verification, while B may not specifically check for common passwords without the proper configuration.
