Goodluck guys! I passed yesterday after reviewing here. Figured I'd come back for an update since others haven't. I'd say 50-60%+ of my questions came from here, but a lot of those were ones without clear answers (ex, questions with multiple answers at or near 50/50). This guide is more of a study sheet vs an answer key. Dont go with the admin selected answer and USE THE DISCUSSIONS as well as some external material to find the correct answers. Pay attention to PBQ's! I had 4 and 3/4 came from here.

Nmap, or Network Mapper, is a network scanning and security auditing tool that is commonly used to discover and map network resources, such as servers and devices, and to identify the services running on those resources. It can be used to scan a single host or a range of hosts to determine which ports are open and which services are running on those ports. This information can be used to identify services that may be unnecessary or potentially insecure, and to take appropriate action to mitigate any security risks. In this case, the administrator can use Nmap to scan the server and confirm whether there are any unnecessary services running on it.

Agree me and 2 others just took the test and all passed. For two of us we would say about 40 to 50% is on this dump. For the 3rd guy he said only about 20%.

Selected Answer: A
Nmap (Network Mapper) is a powerful network scanning tool that can be used to discover open ports and services running on a server. By scanning the server with Nmap, the administrator can identify which services are active and determine if any unnecessary or unauthorized services are running.

Nmap allows you to scan your network and discover not only everything connected to it

I passed today with a 797. 3 of the 4 PBQs I got were on here. I'd say 65% of my questions were on this site, so don't rely on it completely, do your homework.
