CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 123

A penetration tester who is working remotely is conducting a penetration test using a wireless connection. Which of the following is the BEST way to provide confidentiality for the client while using this connection?

Answer options

• A. Configure wireless access to use a AAA server.
• B. Use random MAC addresses on the penetration testing distribution.
• C. Install a host-based firewall on the penetration testing distribution.
• D. Connect to the penetration testing company's VPS using a VPN.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The best approach for maintaining confidentiality in this scenario is to connect to the penetration testing company's VPS using a VPN, as it encrypts the data transmitted over the wireless connection. The other options, while they may enhance security in some aspects, do not provide the same level of confidentiality as a VPN connection, which secures the entire communication channel.
