Answers

Answers
C.
To remove a web shell after the penetration test
D.
To delete credentials the tester created
Answers
D.
To delete credentials the tester created
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

A web shell is a malicious script that allows remote access and control of a web server. A penetration tester may use a web shell to execute commands on the target server during a penetration test. However, after the test is completed, the penetration tester should remove the web shell to avoid leaving any traces or backdoors on the server. The command rm -f /var/www/html/G679h32gYu.php deletes the file G679h32gYu.php from the web server's document root directory, which is likely the location of the web shell. The other options are not plausible explanations for why the penetration tester wants this command executed.
