Hi
In eJPTv2 under the course Assessment Methodologies: Footprinting & Scanning, Evasion, Scan Performance & Output section there is a quiz:
Which output format in Nmap provides a machine-readable format that can be easily parsed by scripts and tools?
-oX
-oG
-oS
-oN
As I understand from the instructor from later Labs the correct answer it should be -oX cause tools like msfconsole can import it.
and I found this :
Output | Nmap Network Scanning
XML offers a stable format that is easily parsed by software. Free XML parsers are available for all major computer languages, including C/C++, Perl, Python, and Java. People have even written bindings for most of these languages to handle Nmap output and execution specifically.
however, when I choose -oX I found that my answer is wrong!
The correct answer is -oG !
So is -oG the correct answer ?
