CompTIA PT0-003 Exam - Topic 3 Question 33 Discussion

The command creates a scheduled task that executes a reverse shell payload at logon, ensuring persistence.

Option A (Enumerate tasks) : This command creates a task, not lists tasks (schtasks /query is used for enumeration).

Option B (Establish persistence) : Correct.

The attacker ensures a reverse shell opens every time a user logs in.

Option C (Deactivate Windows Update) : The task is named 'Windows Update' but does not disable updates.

Option D (Create a Windows Update binary) : This executes a reverse shell, not a system update.
