Ethical Hacking Class 25 "Reconnaissance Toolkit"

Access Complete Course: https://courses.cyberforge.academy/se...

Reconnaissance is the first step in the penetration testing process, where gathering information about a target becomes the foundation for identifying vulnerabilities.
We’ll take you through various tools and techniques used to perform effective reconnaissance, including Shodan, Google Dorks, and Whois lookup, to give you the upper hand in understanding your target before launching further tests.

📌 Penetration Testing Process
We’ll start by covering the penetration testing process, outlining the key phases that ethical hackers follow. Understanding this framework will help you grasp where reconnaissance fits in and why it’s such a critical part of the testing lifecycle.

📌 Reconnaissance and Shodan
Discover the importance of reconnaissance in ethical hacking and how to use tools like Shodan to uncover valuable information about devices and networks exposed to the internet. Learn the basics of what Shodan is and how it works to give you a competitive edge in scanning for targets.

📌 Google Dorks for Advanced Searching
Dive deep into Google Dorks, a powerful hacking technique that utilizes advanced search queries to find specific information online. We'll walk you through the most effective dorks and show you how they can be used to expose sensitive information on websites.

📌 Exploring the Wayback Machine & Whois Lookup
Learn how to use the Wayback Machine to view the history of websites, which can reveal previous vulnerabilities that may have resurfaced. Additionally, we’ll cover Whois Lookup, a tool used to gather information about domain ownership, IP addresses, and more.

📌 ANY.RUN for Dynamic Malware Analysis
We’ll introduce you to ANY.RUN, a dynamic malware analysis service that lets you observe how malware behaves in a sandboxed environment. This tool can be invaluable for understanding how an attack might unfold once reconnaissance has been completed.
