LPIC-2 Exam 202 (Linux Engineer) — Question 51

What is the name of the network security scanner project which, at the core, is a server with a set of network vulnerability tests?

Answer options

• A. NetMap
• B. OpenVAS
• C. Smartscan
• D. Wireshark

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is OpenVAS because it is specifically designed as a network vulnerability scanner that operates on a server model. NetMap, Smartscan, and Wireshark do not serve the same primary purpose; NetMap and Smartscan are not well-known security projects, while Wireshark is primarily a packet analyzer.
