CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 190

A penetration tester sets up a C2 server to manage and control payloads deployed in the target network.

Which of the following tools is the most suitable for establishing a robust and stealthy connection?

Answer options

• A. ProxyChains
• B. Covenant
• C. PsExec
• D. sshuttle

Correct answer: B

Explanation
