QuestionQ113

Adversarial Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures

During a post-incident review meeting, it is observed that a malicious attacker tried to establish network persistence by using vulnerabilities that seemed lower risk but ultimately enabled the attacker to escalate privileges.

Which of the following did the attacker MOST likely use?

  • A Brute force attack
  • B Cross-site scripting
  • C Deployment of rogue wireless access points
  • D Exploit chaining
Explanation

Exploit chaining combines multiple vulnerabilities or weaknesses that may be limited individually but, when used together, enable a higher-impact outcome such as privilege escalation and persistent access.
