A penetration tester conducted a discovery scan that generated the following: Which of the following commands generated the results above and will transform them into a list of active hosts for…

'nmap -oG list.txt' saves output in Grepable format, but '| sort' without further parsing doesn't specifically extract only active hosts in a simple list format from the standard Nmap output for further analysis.

The 'nmap -sn' command performs a "ping scan" (host discovery) without port scanning, which is efficient for finding active hosts. Piping this output to 'grep "Nmap scan"' filters for lines indicating a host report, and 'awk '{{print $5}}'' then extracts the fifth field, which typically corresponds to the IP address of the active host.

'nmap --open' scans for open ports, not just host discovery, and piping to 'uniq' and 'sed' without specific output format knowledge won't reliably produce a list of active hosts. 'sed 's/Nmap//2'' is unlikely to correctly parse IP addresses from a standard Nmap output.

'nmap -O' performs OS detection, which is resource-intensive and not primarily for generating a list of active hosts efficiently. '| cut -f' is incomplete and wouldn't correctly extract host IPs without specifying delimiters and field numbers.
