Footprinting is commonly known as information gathering. In the Footprinting in Ethical Hacking training course, students will learn the basics of footprinting, the first step in the ethical hacking methodology, and the tools that are commonly used in this information gathering task in Hindi.

Reconnaissance Or Footprinting can take up to 90% of the time during penetration testing or an actual attack. We'll show you how attackers are currently reconning your company, as well as discuss in detail the steps of reconnaissance. Finally, we'll look at some possible countermeasures to help discourage attackers.

Using this method, hackers can unravel information on open ports of the target system, services running, and remote access probabilities.

Since it is the initial phase of hacking it is really important to develop an accurate understanding of the entire process. The systematic footprinting of a target enables the attacker to get a blueprint of the target's security posture.

In these Lectures, we will get to know how malicious hackers perform footprinting on the organization or target's system, what all they can do, and how it will be harmful to businesses and individuals. On the other hand, white hat hackers who are well versed in footprinting will be able to improve the security of the organizations they work for. With systematic methodology, businesses can identify their vulnerabilities so they can patch and make changes in policy accordingly.

In this course, Mr. Gaurav introduces the concepts, tools, and techniques behind footprinting: finding related websites, determining OS and location information, identifying users through social media and financial services, tracking email, and more. Footprinting relies on tools as simple as a web search and dumpster diving, and as complex as DNS interrogation and traceroute analysis. Lisa shows how to put these nefarious sounding tools to work for good and mitigate any risks an organization has to these types of attacks.
