Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 388

Which of the following directory contains the binary files or executables required for system maintenance and administrative tasks on a Linux system?

Answer options

• A. /lib
• B. /bin
• C. /usr
• D. /sbin

Correct answer: D

Explanation

/sbin is the correct answer because it specifically contains system administration binaries that are essential for system maintenance. The other directories, while they contain important files, do not focus solely on administrative tasks; /lib holds shared libraries, /bin contains essential user binaries, and /usr is for user programs.
