CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 143

A penetration tester needs to access a building that is guarded by locked gates, a security team, and cameras. Which of the following is a technique the tester can use to gain access to the IT framework without being detected?

Answer options

• A. Pick a lock.
• B. Disable the cameras remotely.
• C. Impersonate a package delivery worker.
• D. Send a phishing email.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is effective because impersonating a delivery worker can provide a legitimate reason to bypass security measures. Options A, B, and D are less viable as they either require more technical skills, risk detection, or do not directly address physical access to the building.
