A penetration tester is required to perform a vulnerability scan that reduces the likelihood of false positives and increases the true positives of the results. Which of the following would MOST likely accomplish this goal?
By using credentials, Nessus can authenticate to the target system and perform a more thorough scan, identifying vulnerabilities that may not be detectable through an unauthenticated scan. This can help to reduce false positives and increase the accuracy of the scan results.
B. Using Nessus with credentials would most likely accomplish the goal of reducing the likelihood of false positives and increasing the true positives of the results. Nessus with credentials is able to log in to a system and conduct a more thorough scan, which often leads to fewer false positives and more accurate results. Additionally, Nessus has a large database of vulnerabilities and can provide detailed information on each vulnerability it finds, making it a valuable tool for vulnerability scanning.
The MOST likely option to reduce the likelihood of false positives and increase true positives during a vulnerability scan would be using Nessus with credentials. This will allow the tester to more accurately identify vulnerable systems and discover potential risks.
