Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v12) — Question 253

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, -PP, is used in Zenmap to perform an ICMP timestamp request. The other options are incorrect as -Pn is for skipping host discovery, -PU is for UDP ping scans, and -PY is for ICMP timestamp requests but not specifically for the scan type asked about.
