Information Gathering
Sagar Ajay Rahalkar · Apress eBooks · 2016
Before planning an attack on the target system or network, it is very important to have detailed information about the target system. This information includes software versions, type of operating system installed, a list of active services, a list of user accounts, and so on. This information helps plan and build or prevent further attacks on the target system. This chapter introduces various footprinting and enumeration techniques that are useful in gathering vital information about the target system. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
