Selected Answer: C

From ChatGPT Zenmap is the graphical user interface (GUI) for Nmap, a powerful network scanning tool. When using Zenmap, you can enter Nmap command-line options in the Command field to perform specific scans. -PP: This option sends ICMP timestamp requests to the target. These requests are used to determine the time on the remote machine, which can help with detecting time drift and identifying operating systems or devices based on their responses. Here's what the other options do: -Pn: Treat all hosts as online, skip host discovery. This doesn't perform any ping or timestamp scan. -PU: Sends UDP pings to determine if a host is online. -PY: Sends SCTP INIT pings (used for detecting SCTP-enabled hosts).

Selected Answer: C

PP: This option in Zenmap is used for ICMP timestamp ping scans. It sends ICMP Echo Request (ping) packets with a timestamp request to the target host. This can help the analyst gather information related to the current time from the target host.
