Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 251

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 allows the tester to filter search results to a specific web domain, ensuring more relevant information. The other options do not provide this capability; 'allinurl:' focuses on URLs, 'location:' is not a valid operator, and 'link:' searches for pages linking to a specified URL.
