Quizplus · Accepted Answer

OpenVAS is an open-source fork of Nessus, which is a powerful vulnerability scanner.

Answer: A
 Nmap is a popular port scanning tool that can be used to discover hosts and services on a network.

Answer: I
 Port scanning is the process of scanning a network to identify which ports are open, closed, or filtered.

Answer: J
 A ping sweep is a common reconnaissance technique used to identify live hosts on a network. Fping is a tool that can be used to perform a ping sweep.

 An open port is a network port that is accepting incoming connections. A closed port, on the other hand, is a network port that is not accepting incoming connections.

Answer: G
 A filtered port is a network port that is not accessible from the scanning system due to a firewall or other blocking mechanism. Hping can be used to detect filtered ports.
