Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

Thenet viewcommand in Windows is used to display a list of resources being shared on a computer.When used with a specific computer name or IP address, as innet view <10.10.10.11>, it displays the shared resources available on that particular computer1. Jessy's objective in running this command was likely to review the file shares on the server with the IP address 10.10.10.11 to ensure that they are correctly purposed and not maliciously altered or added as part of the web attack.

This command does not verify users using open sessions, check file space usage, or check whether sessions have been opened with other systems. Instead, it specifically lists the shared resources, which can include file shares and printer shares, providing insight into what is being shared from the server in question. This information is crucial during a forensic investigation of a web attack to understand if and how the server's shared resources were compromised or utilized by the attacker.

C'mon, who still uses the net view command these days? Jessy must be a real tech dinosaur. I bet she's still using a black and white monitor too! Anyway, option C is the way to go.

Hmm, the net view command sounds like it could be used to check file shares too. But I think Jessy was probably trying to verify if any other systems were connected, so C is the correct answer here.

I agree with Benedict, checking whether sessions have been opened with other systems is crucial in investigating a web attack.

The net view command is used to list the shared resources on a remote system. Jessy's objective was likely to check if there were any open sessions with other systems, so I'd go with option C.

Yeah, that makes sense. It's important to check for any unauthorized access.
