CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-001) — Question 1

Black box penetration testing strategy provides the tester with:

Answer options

• A. a target list
• B. a network diagram
• C. source code
• D. privileged credentials

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as black box testing is characterized by the tester having no prior knowledge of the system, and therefore, they are provided with a target list to identify the systems to test. Options B, C, and D imply that the tester has more insider information or access than what is typical for black box testing, which is not the case.
