What is Scanning?
Scanning involves probing a target system to identify open ports, services, and vulnerabilities.
Tools for Scanning
- Nmap: A powerful network scanning tool.
- Netcat: A utility for reading and writing data across network connections.
Example: Nmap Scan
nmap -sS -p 1-1000 192.168.1.1
This command performs a SYN scan on the first 1000 ports of the target.
