C. Perform network and port scanning
Explanation:
Nmap (Network Mapper) is a widely used tool for network and port scanning. It helps in discovering hosts, open ports, running services, and their versions, as well as identifying operating systems. Nmap is often used in both reconnaissance and vulnerability assessment.
Why the other answers are incorrect:
A. Map a route for war-driving: War-driving involves scanning for wireless networks while driving, and Nmap is not specifically designed for this purpose.
B. Determine who is logged onto a host: Nmap does not provide user login information; it's focused on network and port scanning.
D. Scan web applications: While Nmap can provide some basic information about web servers, it is not specialized for web application scanning. Tools like Nikto or Burp Suite are more suited for that task.
