CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-001) — Question 132

A penetration tester has gained physical access to a facility and connected directly into the internal network. The penetration tester now wants to pivot into the server VLAN. Which of the following would accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Spoofing a printer's MAC address
• B. Abusing DTP negotiation
• C. Performing LLMNR poisoning
• D. Conducting an STP attack

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as conducting an STP attack can allow an attacker to manipulate the network topology and redirect traffic to gain access to the server VLAN. The other options, while they may exploit different vulnerabilities, do not directly facilitate pivoting into the server VLAN in the same manner as an STP attack.
