Which timing template corresponds to Sneaky (1) IDS evasion?

• A. -T0
• B. -T2
• C. -T3
• D. -T1

Answer: (D)

Timing templates control how fast or stealthy Nmap runs. The Sneaky (1) IDS evasion option uses the -T1 template. It intentionally slows down the scan and spaces probes to reduce the chance that IDS/IPS systems will flag or log the activity. This makes it slower than the default, but not as slow as the paranoid setting, giving a practical balance between stealth and speed. The other templates push speed in various directions—paranoid being very slow and stealthy, polite and normal offering moderate speed, and aggressive/insane being fast but more likely to trigger detections.
