[All 312-50v12 Questions]

Being a Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), a company has brought you on board to evaluate the safety measures in place for their network system. The company uses a network time protocol server in the demilitarized zone. During your enumeration, you decide to run a ntptrace command. Given the syntax: ntptrace [-n] [-m maxhosts] [servername/IP_address], which command usage would best serve your objective to find where the NTP server obtains the time from and to trace the list of NTP servers connected to the network?

  • A. ntptrace -n -m 5192.168.1.1
  • B. ntptrace -m 5192.168.1.1
  • C. ntptrace -n localhost
  • D. ntptrace 192.168.1.1

A. ntptrace -n -m 5192.168.1.1 This usage is incorrect because -m expects a numerical argument that specifies the maximum number of hosts to trace, not an IP address. B. ntptrace -m 5192.168.1.1 Similar to option A, this is a misuse of the -m option. It wrongly places an IP address where a number should be, indicating the depth of the trace. C. ntptrace -n localhost This command will start tracing from the local host, and the -n option will ensure that the output remains numerical (IP addresses only), which might not be as informative if you're unfamiliar with the IPs but does provide clean data output. D. ntptrace 192.168.1.1 This is the basic form of the command and correctly targets an NTP server by IP address. It lacks any specific options for depth of trace (-m) or format (-n), but correctly initiates a trace to the specified server.

It's D. A &B: You're not trying to find max host but trace source of time. C: you use the -n command which means it should give you IP of local host(127.0.0.1) instead of local host , host name.

A and B are note valid, missing a space and parameter N and M are optional. And the NTP server is not localhost.

Selected Answer: D
The -n option is not necessary unless you prefer to see IP addresses instead of hostnames, and the -m option is not necessary unless you want to limit the number of hosts traced. Option C would only be correct if you were running the command on the NTP server itself and you wanted to see IP addresses instead of hostnames.So, the correct answer is option D, ntptrace 192.168.1.1.

CEHv12 pg 446 CORRECT ANSWER is A ntptrace This command determines where the NTP server obtains the time from and follows the chain of NTP servers back to its primary time source. Attackers use this command to trace the list of NTP servers connected to the network. Its syntax is as follows: ntptrace [-n] [-m maxhosts] [servername/IP_address]
