In the Scanning sub phase of the Reconnaissance phase blog, we covered that in this phase, we gather information about the target. In the scanning process, we identify the active IP addresses on the network and active ports/services on each system. The next step is to identify the OS running the system. This process is…

Scanning
Scanning is part of the Reconnaissance phase where the attacker gathers information about a target. It is type of active reconnaissance during which the network and systems are scanned. In the scanning, the live systems (IP addresses) are found and then the active ports on a system are identified. Post which, OS type (Windows, Unix,…
