Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of using TCP SYN ping scan?

  • To record logs at the system level
  • To leave traces for detection
  • To determine if the host is active without creating a connection (correct)
  • To establish a connection with the host

Why is it mentioned that logs are not recorded at the system or network level in TCP SYN ping scans?

  • To attract more attention from the defenders
  • Because the attackers do not know how to record logs
  • To avoid leaving traces for detection (correct)
  • To increase network performance

What is the primary goal of enumerating usernames and other information during network attacks?

  • To reduce network services
  • To improve network security
  • To establish connections with network shares
  • To identify vulnerabilities in the target network (correct)
