In what default directory (fully qualified path) does nmap store scripts?
A . /usr/share/scripts
B . /ust/share/nmap/scripts
C . /usr/share/nmap
D . /opt

Answer: C

Explanation:

Nmap (Network Mapper) is a network scanning and security auditing tool. Scripts used by Nmap for performing different network discovery and security auditing tasks are stored in /usr/share/nmap/scripts. This directory contains a collection of scripts for NSE (Nmap Scripting Engine), which enables Nmap to perform additional networking tasks, often used for detecting vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security-related information about network services.
