Question

An organization has had problems keeping track of new devices being placed on the network. Which of the following tools should be used to identify where devices reside on the network?

A) Tcpdump
B) Nslookup
C) Nmap
D) Tracert

Answer 1

Answer:

Option C is the correct answer for the above question

Explanation:

NMAP stands Network mapper, which is used to discover the host and detect the service. It is also used to detect the Operating system. It is used to track the host and devices used on the internet to send the packets which are demanding from the host.

The question also asked about the tool which is used to keep the track of new devices. The Nmap will be the answer because it used to keep track of the devices which are participating on the internet. Hence the C option is correct while the other is not because--

• Option A states about Tcpdump, which is used only in the Linux operating system.
• Option B states about Nslookup, which is used to record the resource on the DNS server.
• Option D states about Tracert, which is used for ICMP packets.
