CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) — Question 58

A penetration tester cannot complete a full vulnerability scan because the client's WAF is blocking communications. During which of the following activities should the penetration tester, discuss this issue with the client?

Answer options

• A. Goal reprioritization
• B. Peer review
• C. Client acceptance
• D. Stakeholder alignment

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Goal reprioritization, because it's essential to discuss challenges like WAF blocking during the planning phase to adjust the testing goals accordingly. The other options, such as Peer review, Client acceptance, and Stakeholder alignment, occur at different stages and do not provide the appropriate platform to address immediate scanning issues.
