When utilizing Nmap for vulnerability scanning, which of the following describes the primary function of the -sT option?
Conducting a stealthy half-open TCP scan.
Performing a TCP connect scan.
Running a ping sweep to discover online hosts.
Executing a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) scan.
The -sT option in Nmap is used to perform a TCP connect scan. This type of scan attempts to complete the TCP three-way handshake with each targeted port. If the handshake is successful, it indicates that the port is open. This scan method is not stealthy because it establishes a full connection and can be easily logged by the target system. It is a reliable method to determine if ports are open on a target, but it can be detected by simple logging mechanisms.
