10.10.10.5 looks suspiciously quiet.

Wait, is -blackice-alerts even a real service?

I’m confused about the service name "blackice-alerts." Is that something I should have memorized?

I’ve seen similar questions before, and I feel like 10.10.10.80 might be the right answer since it’s often a common target.

I think the command would be something like `nmap -sS -p 8082 10.10.10.0/24`, but I’m a bit hazy on the exact syntax.

I remember practicing with nmap, but I’m not sure if I used the SYN scan for port 8082 specifically.

Wait, I'm a little confused. Do I need to scan the entire 10.10.10.0/24 network, or can I just focus on specific hosts? I want to make sure I'm not wasting time on unnecessary scans.

No problem, I've got this. Nmap is my go-to tool for network discovery. Scanning port 8082 on the 10.10.10.0/24 network should give me the info I need to find the host with the "blackice-alerts" service.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the scan type. Should I use SYN or Stealth? I'll need to double-check the differences between those two approaches.

Okay, this looks straightforward. I'll use nmap to scan the 10.10.10.0/24 network, focusing only on port 8082 and using the SYN or Stealth scan approach. Then I'll look for the host with the "blackice-alerts" service.

This is a classic nmap question. I'll start with a SYN scan on port 8082 across the 10.10.10.0/24 network, and then I'll analyze the results to find the host with the "blackice-alerts" service. Easy peasy!

Is it just me, or does this question sound like it's straight out of a spy movie? 'Discover a host, scan a port, find the 'blackice-alerts' service' - sounds like I should be wearing a tuxedo and sipping a martini while I do this! Anyway, I'm going to guess E) 10.10.10.30.

This is a tricky one! I'm going to rule out the answers that don't seem to fit the criteria, like D) 10.10.10 and H) 10.10.10.20 since they're not valid IP addresses. I think I'll go with G) 10.10.10.37.

Hmm, the images show a bunch of hosts, but I need to focus on the one that has a service called 'blackice-alerts'. I'm going to guess F) 10.10.10.164 since it looks like that host has something unusual running.

Well, the question says to scan only port 8082, so I think the answer must be one of the hosts that has something running on that port. I'm going to go with B) 10.10.10.80.
