A PowerShell script currently pings a single IP address. How can it be modified to ping a range of IP addresses in a subnet?

Change the 'Test-Connection' cmdlet to 'Test-NetConnection'.

Use 'Get-Process' to find the target IPs.

Add a 'Start-Sleep' cmdlet to slow down the script.

Wrap the 'Test-Connection' command in a 'foreach' loop that iterates over a range of IPs.

In a Bash script used for network reconnaissance, what is the purpose of the shebang line (e.g., '#!/bin/bash') at the top of the file?

It sets the execution permissions for the script file.

It defines the first variable used in the script.

It tells the operating system which interpreter to use to execute the script.

It is a comment that documents the script's purpose.

A PowerShell enumeration script outputs results to the console. What modification would allow the output to be redirected to a text file for logging?

Use the 'Clear-Content' cmdlet to clear the console.
