Attacks and Exploits

During a penetration-testing exercise, a tester runs the following command:

PS c:\tools> c:\hacks\PsExec.exe \\server01.comptia.org -accepteula cmd.exe

Which option best explains what the tester is attempting to do?

  • A Test connectivity using PSExec on the server01 using CMD.exe.
  • B Perform a lateral movement attack using PsExec.
  • C Send the PsExec binary file to the server01 using CMD.exe.
  • D Enable CMD.exe on the server01 through PsExec.
Explanation

PsExec remotely starts cmd.exe on server01.comptia.org. Using remote execution to operate from one host on another is lateral movement.
