CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 350

For an engagement, a penetration tester is required to use only local operating system tools for file transfer. Which of the following options should the penetration tester consider?

Answer options

• A. Netcat
• B. WinSCP
• C. Filezilla
• D. Netstat

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Netcat is a versatile networking utility that can be used for file transfers and is available on most local operating systems. WinSCP and Filezilla are third-party applications specifically designed for file transfer and require installation, while Netstat is a command-line tool for monitoring network connections, not for file transfer.
