CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 24

A penetration tester is conducting an authorized, physical penetration test to attempt to enter a client's building during non-business hours. Which of the following are MOST important for the penetration tester to have during the test? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. A handheld RF spectrum analyzer
• B. A mask and personal protective equipment
• C. Caution tape for marking off insecure areas
• D. A dedicated point of contact at the client
• E. The paperwork documenting the engagement
• F. Knowledge of the building's normal business hours

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers, D and E, are essential because having a dedicated point of contact ensures clear communication during the test, while the engagement paperwork legitimizes the tester's actions. The other options, while potentially useful, do not provide the same level of necessity for conducting the test safely and in compliance with the client's expectations.
