Which term describes a penetration testing where the tester attacks the organization's computer systems and data?

• A. Electronic Penetration
• B. Dumpster diving
• C. Domain
• D. Dynamic IP

Answer: (A)

Penetration testing involves actively testing a company’s computer systems and data by simulating real-world attacks to uncover vulnerabilities before malicious actors exploit them. The term described here aligns with attacking electronic systems, networks, and data in a controlled, authorized way to assess security. Dumpster diving is about physically gathering information from discarded materials, not attacking systems. Domain refers to a network namespace or organizational boundary, and dynamic IP describes how addresses can change; neither describes conducting an attack on computer systems.
