Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metasploit is a penetration testing tool that combines scanning and exploit techniques to identify new attack routes.

Nessus is a vulnerability scanner and nmap is a port scanner/tool for network discovery, while Sub7 is a remote access tool and not a penetration testing tool. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
