Information gathering is a crucial phase in penetration testing (pen testing) where testers aim to collect as much data as possible about the target system or organization. This reconnaissance can be accomplished using various tools and techniques. In this course, you'll learn how to perform information gathering using passive and active reconnaissance. Discover how open-source intelligence (OSINT) gathered from social media, job boards, domain name systems, and password dumps can help with reconnaissance and how network reconnaissance is used to identify potential vulnerabilities in a computer network. Explore protocol scanning involving transmission control protocol (TCP) and user datagram protocol (UDP) and discover how to leverage certificate transparency logs during reconnaissance. Lastly, explore how to perform search engine analysis, network sniffing, banner grabbing, and website scraping. This course is one of a collection that helps prepare learners for the CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-003) certification exam.
