Exam PT1-002 topic 1 question 37 discussion

I think the given answer is correct (B) . B- As the question mentioned SOC (Security Operation Centre) team which is one of the teams that should be notified before conducting the test and based on the following word in the question (sinkholing) it seems that the SOC team was NOT notified regarding that test. * Sinkholing is a technique for manipulating data flow in a network. you redirect traffic from its intended destination to the server of your choice.

Sinkholing refers to the practice of redirecting or blocking network traffic to a specific IP address or range of IP addresses. In this case, the SOC (Security Operations Center) implemented sinkholing on the penetration tester's IP address, effectively preventing network traffic from reaching the tester's system. The reason for this action can be attributed to a failure in the planning process. When conducting a penetration test, it is essential to have clear communication and coordination between the penetration tester, the client, and any involved teams or departments. The failure to notify the SOC about the penetration test or to coordinate with them properly resulted in the sinkholing of the tester's IP address.
