2. Scanning
Scanning is one of three components of information gathering. The Scanning
is a procedure for identifying active hosts on a network, either for the
purpose of attacking them or for network security assessment. Network and
System scanning is the most practical way to find out what the
vulnerabilities and threats exists on systems and networks.
The kind of information collected in scanning includes the following:
System architecture (Sparc, Alpha, x86).
Specific IP addresses of systems reachable on a network.
Operating system of the machines.
Scanning can be compared with a thief checking all the doors and
windows of a house before breaking into.
Nslookup
nslookup is a network administration tool for querying the Domain Name
System (DNS) to obtain domain name or IP address mapping or any other
specific DNS record.
It is also used to troubleshoot DNS related problems.
Whois
WHOIS is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying
databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet
resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, administrative,
technical, and billing contacts, which include employee names, email
addresses, and phone & fax numbers, DNS servers etc.
