This is the most basic scan. The attacker completes the full three-way handshake. ethical hacking: scanning networks [author] videos

Prevents target applications from logging the connection state table entry. 3. UDP Scanning ( -sU ) nmap -sC 192

In this phase, ethical hackers move from passive reconnaissance to active engagement to identify live hosts, open ports, and potential vulnerabilities within a target network. Core Concepts of Network Scanning The attacker sends a SYN packet

Further study from the series includes combining scanning with Metasploit and writing custom NSE scripts.

The attacker sends a SYN packet. If the target replies with SYN-ACK, the port is open. Instead of sending the final ACK, the attacker sends an RST (Reset) packet to drop the connection.
