Introducing NMAP

The video tutorial provides an in-depth guide to using Nmap, a network scanning tool. It covers basic and advanced options, including TCP SYN scans, UDP scans, and null flag scans. The tutorial explains how to use ping sweeps, increase verbosity, and apply timing templates. It also discusses service enumeration, OS detection, and the use of Nmap scripting engine for advanced scanning tasks.

What is the primary purpose of the TCP SYN scan in Nmap?

• To scan UDP ports

• To quickly identify open ports

• To perform a full TCP handshake

• To increase verbosity

Which option is used in Nmap to scan UDP ports?

• SD

• SN

• SU

• SA

What does it mean if an Nmap scan returns an RST packet?

• The host is unreachable

• The port is open

• The port is closed

• The port is filtered

Which Nmap option is used to increase the verbosity of scan results?

• V

• P

• T

• A

What is the purpose of the Nmap scripting engine?

• To perform basic port scanning

• To detect operating systems

• To execute advanced scanning scripts

• To redirect output to a file
