Correct answer: C
Explanation
Correct Answer:
All answers are correct.
Ethical hackers act exactly like their black hat, bad guy counterparts, using the same exploits, tools, and activities they do, with one major difference: ethical hackers _only_ work with _permission_ from the organization. Granted, a strong ROE (rules of engagement) up front may limit what the ethical hackers are allowed to employ and how far they are to proceed in a test, but in general, and for a legitimate pen test, if it’s fair for the bad guys it should be fair for the ethical hackers.
