CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 50

Which of the following provides an exploitation suite with payload modules that cover the broadest range of target system types?

Answer options

• A. Nessus
• B. Metasploit
• C. Burp Suite
• D. Ethercap

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Metasploit is specifically designed as an exploitation tool that includes numerous payload modules for different types of systems, making it the most versatile choice. Nessus is primarily a vulnerability scanner, while Burp Suite focuses on web application security testing, and Ethercap is used for network attacks, thus they do not provide the same level of exploitation capabilities as Metasploit.
