CompTIA PenTest+ PT0-002 Practice Question

Using the Nmap option '-Pn' will cause Nmap to skip the discovery stage and treat all hosts as if they are online.

False
True

Correct Incorrect Unanswered

Report Issue

Answer Description

The correct answer is true. The '-Pn' option in Nmap disables host discovery, which means Nmap does not attempt to check if the host is online through methods like sending ICMP echo requests, a TCP ACK to port 80, or a TCP SYN to port 443, which is the default behavior when the '-Pn' option is not used. This is useful in situations where a firewall might be blocking these discovery packets, and there is a belief that the hosts are up and should be scanned.
