I was a bit confused at first, but you guys are right. B) portsweep is the way to go. Glad we could work through this one together.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards B) portsweep as well. The key here is the 'one-to-many' part, which differentiates it from a regular port scan.

I agree, B) portsweep seems like the correct answer here. The question specifically mentions a one-to-many scan, which is the definition of a portsweep.

Hmm, this question seems pretty straightforward. I think the answer is B) portsweep. A portsweep is when an attacker scans a single port across multiple hosts, which is the description provided in the question.
