Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 151

When you are getting information about a web server, it is very important to know the HTTP Methods (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE) that are available because there are two critical methods (PUT and DELETE). PUT can upload a file to the server and DELETE can delete a file from the server. You can detect all these methods (GET, POST, HEAD, PUT, DELETE, TRACE) using NMAP script engine. What Nmap script will help you with this task?

Answer options

• A. http-methods
• B. http enum
• C. http-headers
• D. http-git

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, http-methods, because this Nmap script is specifically designed to enumerate the HTTP methods supported by a web server. The other options, while related to HTTP, do not focus on identifying the available methods, making them unsuitable for this specific task.
