Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 95

What would be the fastest way to perform content enumeration on a given web server by using the Gobuster tool?

Answer options

• A. Performing content enumeration using the bruteforce mode and 10 threads
• B. Performing content enumeration using the bruteforce mode and random file extensions
• C. Skipping SSL certificate verification
• D. Performing content enumeration using a wordlist

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as using a wordlist is the most effective way to identify existing files and directories on a web server. Options A and B may speed up the process, but they do not ensure comprehensive coverage like a targeted wordlist does. Option C is not relevant to the enumeration process itself and does not contribute to finding content.
