Which of the following is NOT an exploit tool?
A . Canvas
B . Core Impact
C . Metasploit
D . Nessus

View Answer

Answer: D

Explanation:

Among the options listed, Nessus is primarily a vulnerability assessment tool, not an exploit tool. It is used to scan systems, networks, and applications to identify vulnerabilities but does not exploit them. On the other hand, Canvas, Core Impact, and Metasploit are exploit tools designed to actually perform attacks (safely and legally) to demonstrate the impact of vulnerabilities.
