Network Security Administrator (NSA, legacy) — Question 12

What is the following command trying to accomplish?

Answer options

• A. Verify that UDP port 445 is open for the 192.168.0.0 network
• B. Verify that TCP port 445 is open for the 192.168.0.0 network
• C. Verify that NETBIOS is running for the 192.168.0.0 network
• D. Verify that UDP port 445 is closed for the 192.168.0.0 network

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the command is specifically checking the status of UDP port 445 for the specified network. Option B is incorrect as it refers to TCP instead of UDP, while option C focuses on NETBIOS, which is not related to port verification. Option D incorrectly suggests checking if the port is closed instead of verifying its openness.
