Hmm, I'm torn between D) Port scan and B) Packet sniffing. Maybe I'll just ask Micky nicely to share his findings, he seems like a friendly guy.

B) Packet sniffing seems like a good option too, but I'm not sure if it would provide as much detailed information as a port scan.

I think the answer is D) Port scan. It's the most efficient way to identify the services running on the system and report back to the command center.
