Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v13) — Question 166

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 answer is C, as the '-PP' option in Zenmap is specifically designed for performing ICMP timestamp ping scans. Options A, B, and D serve different purposes; '-Pn' skips host discovery, '-PU' is for UDP ping scans, and '-PY' is for ICMP echo request scans, none of which will achieve the intended ICMP timestamp ping scan.
