VerifiedNetwork Penetration Testing Methodology - Perimeter Devices

Charles, a network penetration tester, is on a team evaluating the security of an organization’s perimeter devices. He uses the following Nmap command to bypass the firewall: nmap -D 10.10.8.5, 192.168.168.9, 10.10.10.12

What is Charles attempting to do?

Explanation

Nmap’s -D option performs a decoy scan by making the scan appear to originate from additional decoy IP addresses, helping conceal the true scanning host.
