D. Use of a vulnerability scanner to try to probe each port to verify which service is running is the best method of accurately identifying the services running on a victim host. Vulnerability scanners are automated tools that can detect the running services on a target host, even if they are running on non-standard ports. These scanners use a database of known vulnerabilities to probe the target host for known vulnerabilities and report any identified vulnerabilities.
