CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 1

A penetration tester wants to send a specific network packet with custom flags and sequence numbers to a vulnerable target. Which of the following should the tester use?

Answer options

• A. tcprelay
• B. Bluecrack
• C. Scapy
• D. tcpdump

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Scapy is the right choice because it allows for the crafting and sending of packets with specific flags and sequence numbers, making it ideal for penetration testing. The other options, such as tcprelay and tcpdump, do not provide the same level of customization for packet creation, and Bluecrack is not relevant to packet manipulation.
