CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-002) — Question 68

Penetration tester has discovered an unknown Linux 64-bit executable binary. Which of the following tools would be BEST to use to analyze this issue?

Answer options

• A. Peach
• B. WinDbg
• C. GDB
• D. OllyDbg

Correct answer: C

Explanation

GDB (GNU Debugger) is specifically designed for debugging applications on Linux systems, making it the most suitable option for a Linux 64-bit executable. WinDbg and OllyDbg are tailored for Windows environments, while Peach is primarily a fuzzing tool, thus not ideal for direct binary analysis.
