The NMAP command above performs which of the following?
A.
A ping scan
B.
A trace sweep
C.
An operating system detect
D.
A port scan
The Answer Is:
A
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
NMAP -sn (No port scan)
This option tells Nmap not to do a port scan after host discovery, and only print out the available hosts that responded to the host discovery probes. This is often known as a “ping scan”, but you can also request that traceroute and NSE host scripts be run.
