Hey, at least the vulnerability scan doesn't end up setting the office on fire. That's the kind of excitement I'm happy to miss out on.

Vulnerability scans never exploit vulnerabilities? Guess the vendors of those tools didn't get the memo. Time to send them a strongly worded email.

A penetration test is always automated? Oh boy, someone should tell the ethical hackers about that. They might be doing it wrong.

Wait, Nrnap? I think you meant Nmap. Vulnerability scans can definitely use common tools like Nmap and Nessus.

Option A is the correct answer. A penetration test actively tries to exploit vulnerabilities, unlike a vulnerability scan which just identifies them.

But isn't a vulnerability scan also important for identifying weaknesses?
