Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 19

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 JXplorer, which is specifically designed for browsing and searching LDAP directories. The other options, such as ike-scan and Zabasearch, do not directly interface with LDAP services, and EarthExplorer is unrelated to directory services, focusing instead on geographic data.
