Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: A. Hping Explanation: Hping can be used to send various types of packets, including ICMP and TCP packets. Therefore, it is possible to use Hping to establish a connection with a TCP host when ICMP is turned off. So, using Hping can be a valid alternative method to get an answer from a TCP host when ICMP is turned off.Discussion
