2. When running a scan on your computer, you find that a session has been established with a host at the address 208.85.40.44:80. Which Application layer protocol is in use for this session? What command-line utility might you use to determine which computer is the host?

1 answer

The Application layer protocol in use for this session is HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol).

To determine which computer is the host at the given IP address, you can use the command-line utility called "ping" or "traceroute". The ping command can be used to send a small packet to the IP address and receive a response, confirming the presence of the host. The traceroute command can be used to trace the route taken by packets to reach the host and determine the IP addresses of intermediate routers or hops along the way.
