Exam PT0-002 topic 1 question 53 discussion

A. Wireshark passive monitoring tool is Wireshark. Wireshark technically is referred to as a “protocol analyzer”, but it uses only passive observation of network traffic. B. Nessus, a proprietary vulnerability scanner developed by Tenable, can be noisy. C. Retina D. Burp Suite , can be used as a proxy, that will be on-path. E. Shodan , in this online tool, called the Google for IoT devices, you have access to scan results, so there's no active interaction between the client and the server/endpoint F. Nikto , like Nessus, an Open Source software written in Perl language that is used to scan a web-server for the vulnerability

A. Wireshark: Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer tool that allows you to capture and analyze network traffic in real-time. It can be used to troubleshoot network issues, identify network performance bottlenecks, and detect security threats. It is considered a passive reconnaissance tool because it only captures and analyzes network traffic without actively trying to exploit vulnerabilities. E. Shodan: Shodan is a search engine that specializes in finding Internet-connected devices. It can be used to discover servers, routers, cameras, and other devices that are connected to the Internet. It is considered a passive reconnaissance tool because it only searches for information that is publicly available on the Internet, without actively trying to exploit vulnerabilities.
