# Practical
The first thing I did was "ping 10.10.199.213" which sent several ICMP packets to the target, 10.10.199.213. The target did not reply to the ping requests.
To perform an Xmas scan (-sX), I used the command "nmap -sX -pN 10.10.199.213" to show the number of ports that were open or filtered, which in this case was 999.
Next, I used the command shown below.
sudo nmap -sX -vv -Pn 10.10.199.213
This command provided more specifics as to why the Xmas scan showed 999 ports that were either open or filtered, that being that there was no response.
Next, I performed a TCP SYN scan (-sS) specifiying the range 0-5000 so that I could scan the first 5000 ports to see which ones were open. There were 5 ports open.
