The authors discuss two tools in connection with reconnaissance cyberattacks. We will see both below.
Port Scan: It is the process of scanning the computer system that identifies which ports are open in a network host. It is sued by both security technicians and attackers to identify the vulnerability of the computers and target the victim respectively. The attackers check the network system to see which port is open and will hack the system. So, this tool helps by identifying which port is open to be attacked and other security concerns to take actions for further risks, threats and attacks of computer system (Kaur & Kaur, 2017).
Penetration Testing: also known as pen testing is a practice of testing in a computer system infrastructure how the system vulnerable is. The main objective is to see the security weakness of the organization. The authorized person does the test and will report vulnerability of the security system unlike the real hacker. What is more, the consultant will provide detail information about the possible attack that may occur by the attacker and that can help to protect the risk, threats and other concerns of the security system (Kaur& Kaur, 2017).
