I’m working on this HTB Academy module, and the second question is “Enumerate the hostname of your target and submit it as the answer.”
However, no nmap scan I’ve run returns a hostname. Just the target IP. I’ve also tried using nslookup, arp, and dig. Nothing I’ve tried works and it really looks like the target doesn’t have a hostname. Am I missing something?
I am also having trouble with this. The device we are scanning is not on the local network so nslookup won’t work. I don’t know which DNS servers to specify in an nmap scan either.
EDIT Saw edited initial post. Kind of weird the update was at the beginning, but thanks.
Thanks for posting a great clue. Just wanted to add that I was not expecting how long the -A would take. I would guess close to 5 minutes on PWN Box. Also, I read this article, 10 nmap Commands Every Sysadmin Should Know - Benjamin Cane, it is also really useful if you are a sysadmin. I would recommend reading all of it and not just the bit about -A. It was for me, a much easier read than the nmap official site.
