CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 162

During a routine penetration test, the client's security team observes logging alerts that indicate several ID badges were reprinted after working hours without the appropriate authorization. Which of the following is the penetration tester most likely trying to do?

Answer options

• A. Obtain long-term, valid access to the facility.
• B. Disrupt the availabilty of facility access systems.
• C. Change access to the facility for valid users.
• D. Revoke access to the facility for valid users.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the reprinting of ID badges suggests an attempt to gain unauthorized access to the facility over a long term. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they imply disrupting access or changing access rights, which do not align with the goal of maintaining enduring access.
