Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 114

Mason, a professional hacker, targets an organization and spreads Emotet malware through malicious script. After infecting the victim's device, Mason further used Emotet to spread the infection across local networks and beyond to compromise as many machines as possible. In this process, he used a tool, which is a self-extracting RAR file, to retrieve information related to network resources such as writable share drives.
What is the tool employed by Mason in the above scenario?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Credential enumerator, as it is specifically designed to gather credentials across network resources. The other options, while related to password retrieval, do not focus on enumerating credentials from network resources as effectively as the Credential enumerator does.
