GIAC Security Leadership Certification (GSLC) 2020 — Question 1

Adrian knows the host names of all the computers on his network. He wants to find the IP addresses of these computers. Which of the following TCP/IP utilities can he use to find the IP addresses of these computers?
Each correct answer represents a complete solution. Choose two.

Answer options

• A. IPCONFIG
• B. PING
• C. NETSTAT
• D. TRACERT

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are PING and TRACERT. PING can be used to resolve hostnames into IP addresses by sending echo requests, while TRACERT can also resolve hostnames and show the path to the destination. IPCONFIG is used for displaying IP configuration details of the local machine, and NETSTAT provides network statistics and connections, but neither of these can resolve hostnames to IP addresses.
