Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 92

Clark, a professional hacker, was hired by an organization to gather sensitive information about its competitors surreptitiously. Clark gathers the server IP address of the target organization using Whois footprinting. Further, he entered the server IP address as an input to an online tool to retrieve information such as the network range of the target organization and to identify the network topology and operating system used in the network.
What is the online tool employed by Clark in the above scenario?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, ARIN, as it is a tool that provides information regarding IP address allocations and can help identify network ranges and details about network topology. The other options, DuckDuckGo, AOL, and Baidu, are search engines and do not provide the specific network-related information that Clark needed.
