CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-001) — Question 20

A penetration tester successfully exploits a DMZ server that appears to be listening on an outbound port. The penetration tester wishes to forward that traffic back to a device. Which of the following are the BEST tools to use for this purpose? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Tcpdump
• B. Nmap
• C. Wireshark
• D. SSH
• E. Netcat
• F. Cain and Abel

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Nmap is ideal for scanning networks and identifying services, making it useful for ensuring the correct traffic is being forwarded. SSH is a secure method to create a tunnel for the traffic to be redirected safely. The other options, while useful in their own contexts, do not serve the specific purpose of forwarding traffic as effectively.
