Full question →easymultiple choiceObjective-mapped
A client wants a penetration test of their internal network. They are concerned about causing any disruption to the production systems. The tester should include which of the following in the rules of engagement to address this concern?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Good practice is not just finding the correct option. The wrong answers often show the exact trap the exam wants you to fall into.
A
Distractor review
A list of all tools that will be used during the test
While listing tools is good practice, it does not directly address the client's concern about service disruption.
B
Best answer
A clear definition of the testing window and contact information for emergency stop
This is essential to manage and halt testing if disruptions occur, aligning with client's concern.
C
Distractor review
A requirement for the client to disable their antivirus software
Disabling antivirus could expose the client to other risks and is not a standard recommendation.
D
Distractor review
A statement that the tester will not be liable for any damages
Liability clauses are separate legal considerations and do not address the operational concern of disruption.
Common exam trap
Common exam trap: answer the scenario, not the keyword
Many certification questions include familiar terms but test a specific constraint. Read the exact wording before choosing an answer that is generally true but wrong for this case.
