Answer is A as per the Microsoft copilot

Why not A I think other have redundant and inefficent steps

D. Initiate with Nmap for a ping sweep, then use Metasploit to scan for open ports and services, and finally use Hping3 to perform remote OS fingerprinting. the key word is "network's status" and not exploit vulns or attack the network.

D. Initiate with Nmap for a ping sweep, then use Metasploit to scan for open ports and services, and finally use Hping3 to perform remote OS fingerprinting. Explanation: The most comprehensive sequence of actions for obtaining detailed information about the network's status involves using various tools for different purposes. The recommended sequence is: Nmap for a ping sweep: This helps identify live hosts on the network. Metasploit to scan for open ports and services: This provides information about the services running on the identified hosts. Hping3 to perform remote OS fingerprinting: This helps in determining the operating system of the target hosts based on their responses. Option D outlines this sequence of actions, making it the most appropriate for obtaining comprehensive information about the network's status.

Im not certain about this ethical hacking concept

C. Begin with NetScanTools Pro for a general network scan, then use Nmap for OS detection and version detection, and finally perform an SYN flooding with Hping3. because of the question "Which sequence of actions would provide the most comprehensive information about the network's status?" and de A alternative talk about exploit (???)
