Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 23

John, a professional hacker, targeted an organization that uses LDAP for accessing distributed directory services. He used an automated tool to anonymously query the LDAP service for sensitive information such as usernames, addresses, departmental details, and server names to launch further attacks on the target organization.
What is the tool employed by John to gather information from the LDAP service?

Answer options

• A. ike-scan
• B. Zabasearch
• C. JXplorer
• D. EarthExplorer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, JXplorer, which is a GUI tool specifically designed for browsing and querying LDAP directories. The other options, such as ike-scan and Zabasearch, do not serve the purpose of querying LDAP services, while EarthExplorer is focused on geospatial data, making them unsuitable for the task described.
