Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v10) — Question 133
When you are collecting information to perform a data analysis, Google commands are very useful to find sensitive information and files. These files may contain information about passwords, system functions, or documentation. What command will help you to search files using Google as a search engine?
Answer options
- A. site: target.com filetype:xls username password email
- B. domain: target.com archieve:xls username password email
- C. inurl: target.com filename:xls username password email
- D. site: target.com file:xls username password email
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct command is 'site: target.com filetype:xls username password email' because it accurately specifies the site and file type to search for sensitive information. The other options either use incorrect command syntax or keywords, such as 'domain' and 'archieve', which do not function in Google searches.
