Instructions

Use the guided runtime
The runtime provides a browser-based Nmap command simulator for the exact commands this lesson is teaching.
Find live hosts first
Run a host-discovery command against the small range and note which IPs answer probes.
Follow up on the live systems
Run a default scan against each live IP and determine which one exposes HTTP on port 80.
