You are conducting a penetration test against an organization and have obtained the following information from an Nmap scan: Nmap scan report for 192.168.1.105 Host is up (0.0010s latency). Not shown: 995 closed ports PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION 22/tcp open ssh OpenSSH 7.2p2 Ubuntu 4ubuntu2.4 (Ubuntu Linux; protocol 2.0) | ssh-hostkey: 2048 SHA256:XxXXXxxXxxxXxXxxxXxxXxxXxXXXxxXxX (RSA) 80/tcp open http Apache httpd 2.4.18 ((Ubuntu)) 111/tcp open rpcbind 2-4 (RPC #100000) 139/tcp open netbios-ssn Samba smbd 3.X - 4.X (workgroup: WORKGROUP) 445/tcp open microsoft-ds Microsoft Windows 7 - 10 microsoft-ds (workgroup: WORKGROUP) Based on the fingerprinting data obtained from the scan, which of the following conclusions can be accurately drawn about the target system?
The target system is likely running a Linux-based operating system.
The target system is running outdated network services with no implications of the underlying OS.
The target uses a custom operating system, as indicated by the mix of services.
The target system is a dedicated Microsoft Windows Server machine.
The output from Nmap provides information about the services running and their versions. The correct answer can be deduced by examining the provided versions and services. OpenSSH 7.2p2 suggests a Linux-based system, as it mentions Ubuntu in the service version detail. Apache 2.4.18 further confirms this as it is running on Ubuntu. The presence of Samba smbd in the service versions also aligns with a Linux environment that is configured to share files with Windows systems. The incorrect answers indicate either a different operating system or a conclusion that is not directly supported by the information given.
