Nmap Scan Quiz

What is a TCP Connect Scan in nmap?

• A type of scan that sends a large number of packets to overwhelm the target host

• A type of scan where nmap attempts to complete the TCP three-way handshake with the target host to determine if the port is open or closed

• A type of scan that focuses on identifying the operating system of the target host

• A type of scan that only checks if the target host is online or not

Explain the steps involved in performing a TCP Connect Scan using nmap.

• Send a SYN packet to the target host and analyze the response

• Send an ACK packet to the target host and analyze the response

• Send a RST packet to the target host and analyze the response

• Send a UDP packet to the target host and analyze the response

What is a UDP Scan in nmap?

• A scan that identifies the operating system of a target system

• A type of scan used to identify open TCP ports on a target system

• A scan that detects vulnerabilities in a target system

• A type of scan used to identify open UDP ports on a target system

How does nmap perform a UDP Scan?

• By using ICMP packets to scan for open ports.

• By sending UDP packets to the target ports and analyzing the responses.

• By pinging the target and checking for open ports based on the response time.

• By sending TCP packets to the target ports and analyzing the responses.

What is OS Detection in nmap?

• A tool to detect open ports on a target host

• A feature to identify the brand of the computer running on a target host

• A method to detect the presence of antivirus software on a target host

• Feature to identify the operating system running on a target host

Explain the process of OS Detection using nmap.

• Crafting and analyzing packets to determine the OS

• Checking the target's hardware configuration

• Analyzing the network traffic

• Sending a ping request to the target

What is Service Version Detection in nmap?

• It is a feature that allows nmap to identify the physical location of the target machine.

• It is a feature that allows nmap to determine the version of the service running on a particular port.

• It is a feature that allows nmap to determine the number of open ports on the target machine.

• It is a feature that allows nmap to detect the operating system of the target machine.

How does nmap determine the version of services running on a target using Service Version Detection?

• By sending specific probes to the target and analyzing the responses.

• By checking the target's operating system

• By analyzing the network traffic

• By guessing based on common ports

What is the Scripting Engine in nmap used for?

• Analyzing network traffic

• Automating networking tasks

• Generating network statistics

• Creating visual network maps

Provide an example of how the Scripting Engine in nmap can be used to enhance scanning capabilities.

• Using the Scripting Engine to play music during scanning

• Creating custom scripts to automate and extend nmap's functionality

• Writing custom scripts to make nmap scan faster

• Utilizing the Scripting Engine to order pizza while scanning
