Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 36

If you want to only scan fewer ports than the default scan using Nmap tool, which option would you use?

Answer options

• A. -r
• B. -F
• C. -P
• D. -sP

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct option is B, -F, which triggers a fast scan that includes fewer ports. The other options do not specifically control the number of ports scanned: -r is for randomizing the scan order, -P is not a valid Nmap option, and -sP is used for ping scanning rather than port scanning.
