CompTIA Security+ (SY0-601) — Question 23

A security manager has tasked the security operations center with locating all web servers that respond to an unsecure protocol. Which of the following commands could an analyst run to find the requested servers?

Answer options

• A. nslookup 10.10.10.0
• B. nmap -p 80 10.10.10.0/24
• C. pathping 10.10.10.0 -p 80
• D. ne -l -p 80

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the 'nmap -p 80' command scans for servers responding on port 80, which is associated with HTTP and thus insecure. Options A and C do not specifically scan for web servers, while option D is not a valid command for this purpose.
