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.

I'm leaning towards G) 10.10.10.37 as well, it could be the one with the service called -blackice-alerts.

I agree with ruling out D) 10.10.10 and H) 10.10.10.20, they don't seem right.

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.

Great, let's run the nmap scan on 10.10.10.164 and check for the 'blackice-alerts' service.

I think you're right, F) 10.10.10.164 does seem like a good guess based on the image.

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.
