Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 72

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: B

Explanation

The correct answer is VisualRoute, which is used for geographic location tracing and can gather IP address information based on the data available online. Ophcrack is a password recovery tool, Hootsuite is a social media management platform, and HULK is a web application stress testing tool, none of which are suited for the geolocation tracking described in the scenario.
