CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 171

A penetration tester obtained a shell on a Windows system. Which of the following would the tester use to gather more information about the host?

Answer options

• A. mmc.exe
• B. icacls.exe
• C. nltest.exe
• D. winver.exe

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, nltest.exe, which is used to query information about the domain and trust relationships, making it instrumental for gathering host details. Options A (mmc.exe) and D (winver.exe) do not provide significant host information, while B (icacls.exe) focuses on file permissions rather than system details.
