One of the early stages in ethical hacking is reconnaissance of the target. In this 10-video course, you can explore various scanning tools and techniques used in ethical hacking, including Nmap, OWASP ZAP, Vega, Shodan, and specialized Google searches. Key concepts covered in this course include how to use Nmap, an open-source network scanner and one of the most widely-used scanning tools for scanning a target system or network; how to use OWASP ZAP, an open-source web application security scanner, to scan a target website; and how to use Vega, an open-source web security scanner and testing platform, to scan a target website. Next, learners observe how to use the Shodan search engine to gather information about vulnerabilities, its purpose and usage, and the role it plays in ethical hacking and penetration testing. Finally, learn how to use multiple informational websites to gain information about a target; and apply specialized advanced Google searches to find information for ethical hacking.
