Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 184

A penetration tester is performing the footprinting process and is reviewing publicly available information about an organization by using the Google search engine.
Which of the following advanced operators would allow the pen tester to restrict the search to the organization's web domain?

Answer options

• A. [allinurl:]
• B. [location:]
• C. [site:]
• D. [link:]

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the 'site:' operator is specifically designed to restrict searches to a particular domain. The other options do not serve this purpose; for instance, 'allinurl:' focuses on the URL structure, 'location:' is not a valid Google operator, and 'link:' is used to find backlinks rather than limit searches to a specific domain.
