Reconnaissance is the process of gathering information about a target system, network, or organization with the intent of identifying vulnerabilities, weaknesses, and potential attack vectors. It is an important phase in the cybersecurity process, as it helps security professionals to better understand their target and create a plan of action to mitigate potential security risks.
Reconnaissance can be used for both offensive and defensive purposes. On the offensive side, reconnaissance is a critical step in the process of hacking or penetration testing. By gathering information about the target, hackers can better plan their attacks and identify vulnerabilities that can be exploited. On the defensive side, reconnaissance helps security professionals to identify potential security threats and take proactive measures to prevent them.
