CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 57

A penetration tester attempts to access an internet-facing web page while conducting research on site. However, the web page is no longer accessible. Which of the following is the best step for the tester to take to continue gathering details?

Answer options

• A. Change the proxy settings.
• B. Try a different user agent in the browser.
• C. Locate a cached version of the page.
• D. Ask to have the site unblocked.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The best action for the tester is to locate a cached version of the page, as this can provide previously available information without needing direct access. Changing proxy settings or user agents may not help if the page is down, and asking for the site to be unblocked is not practical in a penetration testing scenario.
