# Introduction In the mystical realm of Bennister Island, a place teeming with magic and untold secrets, there exists a curious character, a fantasy botanist, known amongst the rarefied circles as 'The Sage of the Silent Glade'. With an insatiable curiosity for discovering and cataloging the island's fantastical flora, the Sage has stumbled upon an ancient digital artifact, a relic from the cyber realms, that hinted at the existence of 'Cyber Seeds' - digital entities capable of sprouting into wondrous virtual plants, offering unheard-of protective capabilities against dark cyber entities. However, accessing these 'Cyber Seeds' is no ordinary feat. It requires navigating through a labyrinth of ancient servers, hidden deep within the island's digital underbelly, protected by layers of cyber enchantments. The Sage, though unparalleled in the knowledge of fantastical botany, finds themselves at the threshold of an unfamiliar domain - Cybersecurity. To assist The Sage in their quest, you are tasked with mastering the arcane art of Nmap, deploying various scanning techniques to navigate through the server's defenses, and unveil the locations of the fabled 'Cyber Seeds'. Your journey into the cybernetic unknown begins now.
