Ethical Hacking: Recon and Footprinting

Ethical Hacking: Recon and Footprinting

Footprinting (also known as reconnaissance) is the technique used for gathering information about computer systems and the entities they belong to. To get this information, a hacker might use various tools and technologies. This information is very useful to a hacker who is trying to crack a whole system. Footprinting and Recon (Reconnaissance) go hand-in-hand in terms of cyber security. The attack surface of a system, network, or organisation is referred to as the footprint. Determining that footprint and covertly collecting information on the target is referred to as recon.

All sorts of important information are stored online, meaning that cyber criminals can cause serious harm. By stealing valuable data, criminals can now cause massive harm to states, cities and corporations. Many organisations have begun employing ethical hackers within their organisation to protect and detect threats and attacks to the organisational systems. This course in Recon and Footprinting will help you further improve your eligibility for a job position in the cyber security and IT field.
