  2. Nmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nmap

    Nmap provides a number of features for probing computer networks, including host discovery and service and operating system detection. These features are extensible by scripts that provide more advanced service detection, [7] vulnerability detection, [7] and other features. Nmap can adapt to network conditions including latency and congestion ...

  3. hping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hping

    hping is an open-source packet generator and analyzer for the TCP/IP protocol created by Salvatore Sanfilippo (also known as Antirez). It is one of the common tools used for security auditing and testing of firewalls and networks, and was used to exploit the idle scan scanning technique (also invented by the hping author), and now implemented in the Nmap Security Scanner.

  4. Footprinting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footprinting

    That is the reason by which it may be named a Pre-Attack, since all the information is reviewed in order to get a complete and successful resolution of the attack. Footprinting is also used by ethical hackers and penetration testers to find security flaws and vulnerabilities within their own company's network before a malicious hacker does. [3]

  5. Penetration test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetration_test

    Find an exploitable vulnerability. Design an attack around it. Test the attack. Seize a line in use. Enter the attack. Exploit the entry for information recovery. Over time, Anderson's description of general computer penetration steps helped guide many other security experts, who relied on this technique to assess time-sharing computer system ...

  8. Idle scan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idle_scan

    Enough Internet hosts are vulnerable that zombie candidates aren't hard to find. A common approach is to simply execute a ping sweep of some network. Choosing a network near your source address, or near the target, produces better results. You can try an idle scan using each available host from the ping sweep results until you find one that works.

  9. Port scanner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_scanner

    Such an application may be used by administrators to verify security policies of their networks and by attackers to identify network services running on a host and exploit vulnerabilities. A port scan or portscan is a process that sends client requests to a range of server port addresses on a host, with the goal of finding an active port; this ...
