CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-001) — Question 110

A penetration tester has run multiple vulnerability scans against a target system. Which of the following would be unique to a credentialed scan?

Answer options

• A. Exploits for vulnerabilities found
• B. Detailed service configurations
• C. Unpatched third-party software
• D. Weak access control configurations

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as credentialed scans provide deeper insights into the system's configurations and settings, which are not accessible in non-credentialed scans. Options A, C, and D may still be identified without credentials, but they lack the comprehensive detail offered by a credentialed approach.
