Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nmap is a popular port scanning tool used to discover open, closed, and filtered ports on a network.

Answer: C
 XMAS scan is a type of port scanning technique used to identify open and closed ports on a target system by sending packets with certain flag combinations.

Answer: D
 Connect scan is a TCP scanning method that establishes a full connection with the target port and analyzes the response to determine whether it is open, closed, or filtered.

Answer: E
 A closed port is a port that is not actively listening for connections and will not respond to port scanning requests.

Answer: G
 A filtered port is a port that is actively blocking or delaying incoming network traffic and does not respond to port scanning requests.

Answer: H
 An open port is a port that is actively listening for incoming connections and is available for use.

Answer: I
 A NULL scan is a type of port scanning technique used to determine whether a target port is open by sending packets without any flags set. This method relies on the fact that an open port will not respond to such packets, while a closed port will respond with an RST (reset) packet.
