Exam N10-008 topic 1 question 415 discussion

Nmap (Network Mapper) is a powerful and versatile network scanning tool used for network exploration and security auditing. It can scan and map networks, discover open ports, identify network services, and gather information about the target devices.

Alright folks, everyone here and GPT says its nmap. cveUP says it protocol analyzer. "A protocol analyzer is a tool that can capture and analyze network traffic and identify security issues such as unauthorized devices, malicious packets, or misconfigured settings. A Wi-Fi analyzer is a tool that can measure the signal strength, interference, and channel usage of wireless networks, but it cannot provide detailed information about network security. Nmap and IP scanner are tools that can scan network hosts and ports for open services, vulnerabilities, or operating systems, but they cannot monitor network traffic in real time."

Man do I hate Comptia phrasing, Nmap is not a device; however it is the correct answer

C. Nmap is a tool that can be used to scan and identify network devices and can help identify potential security vulnerabilities. Wi-Fi analyzer is used to analyze wireless networks, protocol analyzers are used to analyze network traffic, and IP scanners are used to discover devices on a network.

I meant to make this a voting comment. :-)

Nmap has the most extensive functionality with regard to the question. A and D don't contribute anything.
