Information Gathering and Vulnerability Scanning

Question

A penetration tester is conducting a vulnerability scan on a remote oil rig, which has limited satellite internet connectivity. The bandwidth available for the scan is significantly restricted due to the remote location and the bandwidth limitations of the satellite link. The penetration tester wants to ensure the effectiveness of the vulnerability scan while minimizing the impact on the network performance and connectivity. Which of the following should be considered?

Options

  • AQuery throttling
  • BNetwork topology
  • CTime to run the scans
  • DProtocols used for scanning

Explanation

Query throttling allows the penetration tester to control the rate at which scan requests are sent to the target network. By reducing the frequency of requests, the tester can minimize the impact on the limited satellite internet connectivity and ensure the scan does not overwhelm the network or disrupt operations.
