Too many clowns posting here. Do research and show citations. (correct) B. Zombie https://nmap.org/book/idlescan.html "The first step in executing an IP ID idle scan is to find an appropriate zombie. It needs to assign IP ID packets incrementally on a global (rather than per-host it communicates with) basis. It should be idle (hence the scan name), as extraneous traffic will bump up its IP ID sequence, confusing the scan logic. The lower the latency between the attacker and the zombie, and between the zombie and the target, the faster the scan will proceed." to paraphrase: zombie should be idle ----- If you agree, please UPVOTE.

An 'idle' system is commonly referred to a PC that is turned on but not currently running any applications or tasks. It does not imply that the PC is not connected to the Internet, a 'zombie', or a 'bot'.

An idle system is one that is not being used or low activity. This is a perfect system to be made a Zombie. B is my answer.

A computer typically goes idle when it's not actively processing user commands or running programs. This can happen when you're not using the computer, or when you're using a program that doesn't require much processing power. The system also goes idle during periods of inactivity to conserve energy.

Zombie computer are the attacked computers. Not the idle computer

A Zombie PC is one that is attacked, compromised and remotely controlled by the attacker
