To identify possible network addresses from different source networks belonging to the same company and region, utilizing the dig command is advantageous. The function performs a reverse DNS lookup to obtain the hostname associated with the IP address, and then queries the origin.asn.cymru.com domain to get the autonomous system number (ASN) and related information. This ASN data is critical for identifying and grouping addresses that belong to the same company and region, providing a thorough method for network address identification.
This function takes an IP address as an argument and performs two DNS lookups using the dig command. The first lookup uses the -x option to perform a reverse DNS lookup and get the hostname associated with the IP address. The second lookup uses the origin.asn.cymru.com domain to get the autonomous system number (ASN) and other information related to the IP address, such as the country code, registry, or allocation date. The function then prints the IP address and the ASN information, which can help identify any network addresses that belong to the same ASN or region
ChatGPT is wrong here again... Answer is D. Straight forward geo ip lookup. Question states same company and region, so Geo search is the most plausible.
has anyone tried this in live environment? from testing, it appears C is the best option here. try running this command in linux shell to compare result. output from options A and B does not make any sense. C. dig 8.8.8.8.origin.asn.cymru.com TXT +short D. geoiplookup 8.8.8.8
Option C is more likely to help identify network addresses from the same company and region. It uses the dig command to perform a reverse DNS lookup, extracts information about the origin ASN (Autonomous System Number), and can be useful for identifying networks. Option D uses geoiplookup and may not provide as detailed information about the network and its region.
Key request is "different source networks belonging to the same company and region" geoiplookup will give you regions, but not confirm that different source networks belong to the same company. Using dig to will give you the ASNs of all the IPs so you will know who owns it as well as the regions.
Answer is D. Straight forward geo ip lookup. Question states same company and region, so Geo search is the most plausible. c=$(geoiplookup $1)/ This is a command to look up the geo location of the IP address specified
it does but how does this command ensures it belongs to the company? the dig command and PTR should give enough information about the company ownership of the IP address.
THEY ARE TRYING TO TRICK YOU Be careful with the syntax; it looks like there might be a typo in the original function ("geoiplookup$1" should be "geoiplookup $1").
Sorry, I meant D. "To identify possible network addresses from different source networks belonging to the same company and region, you would likely benefit from geolocation information and perhaps some network routing information. Among the choices given, function z() using geoiplookup "
D all the way because region lookup is done with geoiplookup
Except the question isn't asking about region lookup. The question is saying that the analyst is looking for possible network addresses from different source networks.
Then I guess you missed this part of the question: "same company and region." which makes it 'D' but that is just my 2cents.
D because the question is looking for region.
No the question is looking for network addresses, it only says that they are from the same country and region. Read the whole question
