Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 97

Emily, an extrovert obsessed with social media, posts a large amount of private information, photographs, and location tags of recently visited places. Realizing this, James, a professional hacker, targets Emily and her acquaintances, conducts a location search to detect their geolocation by using an automated tool, and gathers information to perform other sophisticated attacks.
What is the tool employed by James in the above scenario?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Hootsuite, as it is a social media management tool that can aggregate and analyze social media data, potentially allowing James to track Emily's online activities. The other options, such as ophcrack, VisualRoute, and HULK, serve different purposes like password cracking, network tracing, and web application testing, which do not specifically relate to social media tracking.
