CEH - Footprinting and Reconnaissance

Footprinting and reconnaissance are commonly known as information gathering. It is the first step in the ethical hacking methodology and involves collecting information about a target system or network. The course emphasizes that it will not be attacking any systems and will only be looking at publicly available information to practice the tools. Performing an actual penetration test without permission may be a crime in your jurisdiction, so please remember to “play it safe” and don’t do the hands-on component of this course if it is illegal in your jurisdiction. The Footprinting in Ethical Hacking training course teaches students the basics of footprinting and reconnaissance and the tools that are commonly used in this information gathering task.
