Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 57

Which file is a rich target to discover the structure of a website during web-server footprinting?

Answer options

• A. domain.txt
• B. Robots.txt
• C. Document root
• D. index.html

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Robots.txt, because it provides directives to web crawlers about which pages or sections of the site should not be accessed. The other options do not typically contain structured information about the site; for instance, index.html is just a homepage file, and domain.txt and Document root do not specifically help in revealing the site's structure.
