CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 66

Which of the following is the BEST resource for obtaining payloads against specific network infrastructure products?

Answer options

• A. Exploit-DB
• B. Metasploit
• C. Shodan
• D. Retina

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Metasploit is the leading framework for developing and executing exploit code against a target system, making it the best resource for obtaining tailored payloads for network infrastructure products. Exploit-DB provides a collection of exploits but does not offer the same interactive capabilities. Shodan is primarily a search engine for discovering devices but does not focus on payloads, while Retina is a vulnerability management tool that does not specialize in payload creation.
