Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 82

What are common files on a web server that can be misconfigured and provide useful information for a hacker such as verbose error messages?

Answer options

• A. httpd.conf
• B. administration.config
• C. php.ini
• D. idq.dll

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, php.ini, as it often contains settings that can expose error reporting and debugging information if misconfigured. The other options, while important configuration files, are less likely to directly reveal verbose error messages that could assist a hacker.
