Nmap - ANSWERS-This command scans networks to see what it can
find in terms of hosts and open ports (including well-
known ones for many applications). It is commonly used to determine
what is deployed on a network for
vulnerability analysis, security scans, and related activities.
ipconfig - ANSWERS-Provides the user with the IP, subnet mask, and
default gateway for each network adapter by default with the /all
option information, such as MAC address, DHCP status, and lease
information. The command with the /release option can be used to
release all connections and renew all adapters. It is primarily used in
Windows.
ifconfig - ANSWERS-Similar to ipconfig, this command is used to
configure the kernel network interfaces. It is implemented at the time
of booting to configure the necessary interfaces. Once the interfaces
are configured, it is used for debugging or tuning the system. It is
primarily used in Linux.
Traceroute - ANSWERS-Used to determine the number of hops required
for a packet to reach its destination.
