Open-source research and traffic sniffing are two activities that have a minimal chance of detection, as they do not involve sending any packets or requests to the target network or system. Open-source research is the process of gathering information from publicly available sources, such as websites, social media, blogs, forums, etc. Traffic sniffing is the process of capturing and analyzing network packets that are transmitted over a shared medium, such as wireless or Ethernet.

Running nmap with the --script vulners option set against the target would best support the task of identifying CVEs that can be leveraged to gain execution on a Linux server that has an SSHD running, as it will use an NSE script that checks for vulnerabilities based on version information from various sources, such as CVE databases2. The --script option allows users to specify which NSE scripts to run during an Nmap scan.
