CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 402

Which of the following best explains why a penetration tester would use ProxyChains during an assessment?

Answer options

• A. To harvest credentials
• B. To use remote access tools
• C. To fingerprint the organization
• D. To automate protocols

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as ProxyChains is primarily used to route network traffic through multiple proxies, which is essential for the use of remote access tools without revealing the tester's actual IP address. The other options do not accurately describe the main function of ProxyChains in a penetration testing context.
