FILL BLANK Which command line option instructs smbclient to authenticate using an existing Kerberos token? (Specify ONLY the option name without any values or parameters.) Answer: -k

The correct answer is A. -k. Option A (-k) is correct because smbclient uses the -k flag to enable Kerberos authentication, telling the client to use an existing Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) from the current session's credential cache rather than prompting for a username/password. This is useful in

Explanation

Option A (-k) is correct because smbclient uses the -k flag to enable Kerberos authentication, telling the client to use an existing Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) from the current session's credential cache rather than prompting for a username/password. This is useful in Active Directory environments where a user has already authenticated via kinit or domain login. Since this question presents only one choice, there are no distractors to eliminate. Memory tip: Think of -k as standing for Kerberos - the letter maps directly to the protocol name, making it one of the more intuitive flags in the smbclient toolset.
