Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 259

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 because using a wordlist allows Gobuster to systematically check for existing files and directories, which is the most effective way to enumerate content. Options A and B may increase speed but do not ensure comprehensive coverage. Option C is irrelevant to content enumeration speed.
