I feel confident about D too. It’s the logical step after scanning.

Definitely D) Identification. It’s all about recognizing what's running.

Scanning is for finding devices, not identifying software.

But what about B) Scanning? Isn’t that where devices are first checked?
CU

I agree! Identification makes sense for software.

I think it's D) Identification. That's when the software is recognized.

Yeah, I agree, it's all about identifying in that phase!

Haha, Identification? More like "Identification Crisis" if you ask me!

D) Identification. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

Identification all the way. It's like a treasure hunt, but for software!
BE

Definitely Identification. I mean, how else are we supposed to know what's running on those devices?

Identification, of course! That's where the magic happens.

I’m a bit confused; I thought Classification was where we categorize the devices, but now I’m wondering if it overlaps with Identification.

If I recall correctly, the Identification phase is where we actually determine what software is running on the devices.
EA
Earleen 9 months ago
I remember practicing a question about the phases, and I think Scanning is more about finding devices rather than identifying software.

I think the software identification happens during the Identification phase, but I’m not completely sure.

The Identification phase is where the software running on the device would be recognized, I'm pretty sure. That makes the most sense to me based on how the process is described. I'll mark D) for this one.
BE

Ugh, I'm so confused on this one. Is it Scanning where the software gets picked up? Or is that just the initial data collection? I'm going to have to review my notes again before answering this.
CH

Okay, let me walk through this step-by-step. Scanning collects the data, Classification organizes it, Exploration analyzes it, so Identification must be where the actual software is pinpointed. I'm feeling good about D) Identification.

Wait, are you all sure about that? Seems off to me.
CO
Colton 11 months ago
Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'd have to think it through a bit more. Maybe the Identification phase is where the software gets recognized?
MA

I think the software running on a device would be identified in the Identification phase. That seems like the most logical step in the process.
