CompTIA Exam PT0-002 Topic 1 Question 57 Discussion
Topic #: 1
A penetration tester approaches a company employee in the smoking area and starts a conversation about the company's recent social event. After a few minutes, the employee holds the badge-protected door open for the penetration tester and both enter the company's building. Which of the following attacks did the penetration tester perform?
In this scenario, the penetration tester performed a 'Tailgating' attack (D), where the tester follows closely behind a legitimate employee to gain unauthorized access to a secure area without being noticed. This social engineering technique relies on exploiting human tendencies to be polite or avoid confrontation, rather than using technical hacking methods. The tester engaged the employee in casual conversation to appear less suspicious and took advantage of the situation when the employee, perhaps distracted or feeling socially obliged, held the door open for them.
