Discussion: "Port scanning tools"
Use the Internet or the Strayer Library and research at least two commonly used port scanning tools. What is the greatest source of information that can be gained in the footprinting process? How are hackers able to obtain it? How can the gathered information assist when conducting a pentest? Compare and contrast footprinting and port scanning. Which do you believe is the more important step in the pentesting process? Share with your classmates and include links to any useful tutorials, websites, or videos you find.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
