C.

D.
Run nmap with the -sA option set against the target
Answers
D.
Run nmap with the -sA option set against the target
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

Running nmap with the --script vulners option set against the target would best support the task of identifying CVEs that can be leveraged to gain execution on a Linux server that has an SSHD running, as it will use an NSE script that checks for vulnerabilities based on version information from various sources, such as CVE databases2. The --script option allows users to specify which NSE scripts to run during an Nmap scan.
