What does the "Health Monitoring" requirement mean when setting up a penetration test lab environment?
- The tester needs to be sure that a lack of resources is not the cause of false results.
- The tester needs to be able to determine the causes when something crashes.
- The tester needs to ensure controlled access to and from the lab environment and restricted access to the internet.
- The tester validates a finding running the same test with a different tool to see if the results are the same.
Explanation: Some requirements for a typical penetration testing environment are:
Closed network: the tester needs to ensure controlled access to and from the lab environment and restricted access to the Internet
Health monitoring: when something crashes, the tester needs to be able to determine why it happened
Sufficient hardware resources: the tester needs to be sure that a lack of resources is not the cause of false results
Duplicate tools: a way to validate a finding is to run the same test with a different tool to see if the results are the same
