A NOP is a instruction which does nothing (No Operation -the hexadecimal equivalent is 0x90)<br \/>\nThe following answers are incorrect:<br \/>\nA syn scan. This is incorrect because a SYN scan is when a SYN packet is sent to a specific port and the results are then analyzed.<br \/>\nA half-port scan. This is incorrect because the port scanner generates a SYN packet. If the target port is open, it will respond with a SYN-ACK packet. The scanner host responds with a RST packet, closing the connection before the handshake is completed. Also known as a Half Open Port scan.<br \/>\nA packet destined for the network&#8217;s broadcast address. This is incorrect because this type of packet would not contain a long string of NOP characters.<\/div>\n<p><\/strong><\/span> <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A packet containing a long string of NOP&#039;s followed by a command is usually indicative of what?
