Certified Threat Intelligence Analyst (CTIA) — Question 7

Alison, an analyst in an XYZ organization, wants to retrieve information about a company’s website from the time of its inception as well as the removed information from the target website.
What should Alison do to get the information he needs.

Answer options

• A. Alison should use SmartWhois to extract the required website information.
• B. Alison should use https://archive.org to extract the required website information.
• C. Alison should run the Web Data Extractor tool to extract the required website information.
• D. Alison should recover cached pages of the website from the Google search engine cache to extract the required website information.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because https://archive.org provides access to the Wayback Machine, which archives web pages over time, allowing users to view historical versions of websites. The other options, while potentially useful for different tasks, do not specifically cater to retrieving past versions of websites or removed content.
