      32 Alex wants to scan a protected network and has gained access to a system that can communicate to both his scanning system and the internal network, as shown in the image here. What type of nmap scan should Alex conduct to leverage this host if he cannot install nmap on system A?A reflection scanA proxy scanA randomized host scanA ping-through scan

      33 As a member of a blue team, Lukas observed the following behavior during an external penetration test. What should he report to his managers at the conclusion of the test?A significant increase in latencyA significant increase in packet lossLatency and packet loss both increased.No significant issues were observed.

      34 As part of an organizationwide red team exercise, Frank is able to use a known vulnerability to compromise an Apache web server.
