Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI v10) — Question 589

Harold is a web designer who has completed a website for ghttech.net. As part of the maintenance agreement he signed with the client, Harold is performing research online and seeing how much exposure the site has received so far. Harold navigates to google.com and types in the following search. link:www.ghttech.net What will this search produce?

Answer options

• A. All sites that ghttech.net links to
• B. All sites that link to ghttech.net
• C. All search engines that link to .net domains
• D. Sites that contain the code: link:www.ghttech.net

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the 'link:' operator in Google search is used to find all websites that link to the specified URL, which in this case is ghttech.net. Option A is incorrect because it suggests finding sites that ghttech.net links to instead of those that link to it. Options C and D are unrelated to the actual function of the 'link:' search operator.
