Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 355

A security analyst uses Zenmap to perform an ICMP timestamp ping scan to acquire information related to the current time from the target host machine.
Which of the following Zenmap options must the analyst use to perform the ICMP timestamp ping scan?

Answer options

• A. -Pn
• B. -PU
• C. -PP
• D. -PY

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct option is -PP, which is specifically used for performing ICMP timestamp requests. The other options serve different purposes; -Pn is used to skip host discovery, -PU is for UDP ping scans, and -PY is for ICMP echo requests, which do not retrieve timestamp information.
