I hope Michael remembered to disable the ports gently, not with a sledgehammer. Wouldn't want to break anything, you know?

Nmap -sT localhost, of course! It's the perfect tool for this scenario. I bet Michael is going to ace this investigation with his forensic expertise.

Haha, netstat rn? Really? That's just for displaying the kernel's routing table, not open ports. Michael must be a pro to have figured out the right command!

Hmm, I don't think netstat -i or ilconfig promise would help him with that task. Those commands are more for network interface information and RAID configuration, respectively.

I think both A) nmap -sT localhost and D) netstat rn could have been used by Michael, depending on the specific requirements of the investigation.

I disagree, I believe the correct command is D) netstat rn because it shows routing table information.

Wow, this is a tricky one! I'm sure Michael used nmap to identify the open ports. That's the classic tool for port scanning, right?

Netstat can also be used to identify open ports, but nmap is more commonly used for this purpose.
