QuestionQ180

Secure Software Testing

John is a professional ethical hacker assigned to test the security of www.we-are-secure.com. He has successfully completed these pre-attack steps to assess the security of the We-are-secure network:

  • Gathering information
  • Determining the network range
  • Identifying active systems

He now wants to identify open ports and the applications running on the network. Which of the following tools will he use to accomplish this task?

  • A ARIN
  • B APNIC
  • C RIPE
  • D SuperScan
Explanation

SuperScan performs port scanning to identify open TCP/UDP ports and infer the services or applications listening on them. ARIN, APNIC, and RIPE are Regional Internet Registries that provide Internet number-resource registration information. Port scanning can reveal both open ports and, directly or by inference, the application protocols operating on those ports.
