Reconnaissance Phase Definition: Reconnaissance Phase refers to the initial stage of an attack where the threat actor gathers information about the target system or network to identify vulnerabilities and plan their next steps.
Reconnaissance Phase refers to the initial stage of a cyber attack, where threat actors gather information about a target network, system, or organization. It involves passive techniques such as scanning publicly available information, probing network infrastructure, and identifying potential vulnerabilities to plan and execute further stages of the attack. The goal of reconnaissance is to gather intelligence and identify weak points that can be exploited during the later stages of an attack.
Reconnaissance Phase is one of the topics you'll master in the CEH Boot Camp.
