During an anonymous penetration test, Jane, a system administrator, was able to identify a shared print
spool directory, and was able to download a document from the spool. Which statement BEST describes
her privileges?

A.
All users have write access to the directory.

B.
Jane has read access to the file.

C.
All users have read access to the file.

D.
Jane has read access to the directory.

Explanation:
The question states that Jane was able to download a document from the spool directory. To view and
download the document, Jane must have at least Read access to the file. The fact that the document
belonged to someone else suggests that all users have read access to the file.
Incorrect Answers:
A: You need Read access to read and download a document from a spool directory. Write access would
enable you to create documents in the spool directory but doesn’t mean you can download documents
from the directory.B: Jane was able to view and download the document so she does have Read access to it. However, the
fact that the document belonged to someone else suggests that other users have read access to the file
rather than only Jane having read access to the file.
D: Read access to the directory would allow Jane to view the directory and view the contents of the
directory. However, to view and download a file from the directory, Jane would need read access to the
file itself, not just the directory.
