Week 1

Overview

This week we went over reconnaissance which is the first step in ethical hacking and penetration testing. This is arguably the most important step as the more you are able to know and understand about the business you are working for then the more power you have. This information could be general business information about what they do to use in social engineering. Alternatively this could be network information to use to enumerate and scan. All of this will lead to a more efficient and thorough penetration test for both parties.
