Explanation
QRadar is IBM's SIEM platform built on a Linux foundation, which makes nc (netcat) and nmap both valid utilities in that environment. Netcat is a standard Linux networking tool available on the underlying OS, used for testing connectivity and listening on ports. Nmap is explicitly integrated into QRadar for network discovery and vulnerability scanning workflows.
sqlmap (A) is an offensive SQL injection automation tool - it has no native role in a SIEM platform and is not bundled with or invoked by QRadar. psexec (B) is a Windows Sysinternals remote-execution utility; since QRadar runs on Linux (CentOS/RHEL), psexec is simply incompatible with its OS.
Memory tip: Think "QRadar = Linux SIEM." Anything Windows-native (psexec) is out, and anything purely offensive with no defensive/monitoring role (sqlmap) is out. nc and nmap are standard Linux/network utilities with clear SIEM use cases - connectivity testing and network scanning.
