In Module 2, the first part of any security penetration test of a company is to do reconnaissance to gather information about a target/organization. This is the most time consuming phase since all your doing is gather data on a target using public record searches, email attacks, search engines searches and google hacking, social networking, website mirroring and other techniques to gather information using legal methods. The goal is to ultimately be able to trace a network infrastructure in order to perform a penetration test on a target. Command line tools like nslookup, ping, tracert, and OINST tools can be used to determine how a network is layed out in order to move to the next phase which is the scanning phase.
