The set of commands provided is attempting to perform a DNS zone transfer. The goal achieved with these commands is: C. Find possible targets Explanation: nslookup: Starts the name resolution tool. server 45.60.103.34: Sets the DNS server to 45.60.103.34. set type=any: Sets the query type to "any," meaning it will retrieve any available information. ls -d abc.org: Attempts to perform a DNS zone transfer for the domain abc.org. Performing a zone transfer allows an attacker to obtain a copy of the entire DNS zone, including information about hosts and subdomains within the target domain. This information can be valuable for reconnaissance and finding possible targets within the domain. So, the correct answer is C. Find possible targets.
