Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) Practice Question

During an external penetration test, you need to discover which TCP services a remote server exposes, but you must avoid completing the full three-way handshake so that service daemons generate as few log entries as possible. Which Nmap scan type should you choose?

  • TCP connect scan (-sT)

  • TCP ACK scan (-sA)

  • TCP SYN scan (-sS)

  • UDP discovery scan (-sU)

Random Mixed
Questions are selected randomly from all chosen topics, with a preference for those you haven’t seen before. You may see several questions from the same objective or domain in a row.
Rotate by Objective
Questions cycle through each objective or domain in turn, helping you avoid long streaks of questions from the same area. You may see some repeat questions, but the distribution will be more balanced across topics.

Check or uncheck an objective to set which questions you will receive.
