✍️ Sample EJPT Questions & Answers

1. What is the purpose of the CVSS score in penetration testing reports?

✓ To standardize the severity rating of vulnerabilities on a numeric scale

CVSS (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) provides a standardized 0–10 numeric score reflecting the severity of a vulnerability.

2. What is a 'hidden SSID' and how is it most reliably uncovered during a wireless penetration test?

✓ An SSID omitted from beacon frames; uncovered by capturing probe responses when clients reconnect

Hidden SSIDs suppress the network name in beacon frames, but the SSID is revealed in probe request/response frames when clients attempt to reconnect.

3. In a TCP three-way handshake, what is the correct sequence of flags?

✓ SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK

The TCP three-way handshake uses SYN from client, SYN-ACK from server, and ACK from client to establish a connection.

4. What does the term 'attack surface' refer to in penetration testing?

✓ All possible entry points an attacker could use to compromise a system

The attack surface encompasses all exposed points — open ports, services, interfaces, and input vectors — that an attacker could exploit.

5. What is the goal of the eJPT labs?

✓ To follow the penetration testing process in its entirety and discover as many vulnerabilities as possible

The eJPT labs are designed to simulate a comprehensive penetration testing engagement, not just to achieve a single objective like "popping shells." The goal is to guide students through the entire penetration testing process, from reconnaissance and vulnerability analysis to exploitation and post-exploitation, encouraging them to identify and document all discovered vulnerabilities. This holistic approach prepares individuals for real-world scenarios where a thorough assessment is paramount.

6. What does ARP stand for in networking?

✓ Address Resolution Protocol

ARP stands for Address Resolution Protocol and maps IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local network.
