QuestionQ304

Engagement Management

Testing and reporting activities are finished. A penetration tester must confirm that exploited systems have been returned to their pre-engagement state. Which action would be most appropriate for the tester to take?

  • A Terminate the running command-and-control payload.
  • B Provide the customer with a list of the changes made.
  • C Replace environment variables with their original values.
  • D Put in a change request ticket to reimage the system.
Explanation

A complete post-engagement cleanup includes providing the customer with a record of all changes made during testing so the customer can validate restoration to the original environment. This supports verification of any altered configurations, files, accounts, services, or other artifacts.
