Question 128/176

An analyst reviews the following web server log entries:
%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2ES2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/%2E%2E/etc/passwd
No attacks or malicious attempts have been discovered. Which of the following most likely describes what took place?

A. A SQL injection query took place to gather information from a sensitive file.

B. A PHP injection was leveraged to ensure that the sensitive file could be accessed.

C. Base64 was used to prevent the IPS from detecting the fully encoded string.

D. Directory traversal was performed to obtain a sensitive file for further reconnaissance.

Correct Answer: D

Comprehensive and Detailed Step-by-Step Explanation:Directory traversal, also known as path traversal, is an attack that allows attackers to access restricted directories and execute commands outside the web server's root directory. The %2E encoding corresponds to a dot (.) in ASCII, and %2E%2E resolves to ../. The log entries indicate attempts to navigate directories upward to access sensitive files like /etc/passwd. Since no malicious activity was flagged, it is inferred this was either an unsuccessful or reconnaissance attempt.
