Final Project
Conducting Active Information Gathering for Penetration Testing
This project involves conducting active information gathering to collect detailed information about a target system or network. Active information gathering is a critical step in the penetration testing process, as it helps identify potential vulnerabilities and weaknesses in the target. The project will require the use of various tools and techniques to actively probe and collect data from the target system.
