Which IP address and port scanner is mentioned as a tool for quick scans?

• A. Angry IP Scanner
• B. ICMP ECHO ping scans
• C. ICMP timestamp ping
• D. ICMP address mask ping

Answer: (D)

Quick IP address and port scanning relies on a fast, range-based approach to identify live hosts and open ports. Angry IP Scanner fits this role well because it’s a lightweight tool designed for speed and simplicity: it scans ranges of IPs, checks whether hosts are up, and can reveal open ports in a quick overview. ICMP-based methods like ICMP ECHO, timestamp, or address mask pings focus on determining reachability or gathering ICMP data rather than mapping ports across a range, so they aren’t used as general quick IP/port scanners. So the tool commonly mentioned for quick scans is Angry IP Scanner.
