A company that developers embedded software for the automobile industry has hired a penetration-testing team to evaluate the security of its products prior to delivery. The penetration-testing team has stated its intent to subcontract to a reverse-engineering team capable of analyzing binaries to develop proof-of-concept exploits.

Which of the following concerns would BEST support the software company's request?

  • A. The reverse-engineering team may have a history of selling exploits to third parties.

This is D. IDK why you guys pick the wrong answer in the discussion and vote because it's all you see. A pentesting team can still sell code to third parties even with a clean background. They want a background check to have full information on the team in case they reveal the source code.

The reason it is A is bc you don't need reverse-engineering if you have the source code.

Reverse engineering team will still see the source code and they need to have background checks

Selected Answer: A
"reverse-engineering" isn't needed if you have the source code, so it's probably not D.

This is a tough one, I'm going to go with A because the penetration testers have the intention of creating exploits, so obviously exploits are going to be the concern in this scenario no doubt about that. That's just my two cents anyways.
