Network Scanning & NMAP: Master the Fundamentals of Reconnaissance


Listen Later

In this session, we break down essential concepts in offensive security that every ethical hacker must know. You’ll learn how TCP communication flags like SYN, ACK, FIN, and RST govern how systems talk to each other, and why the TCP Three-Way Handshake is the foundation of reliable connections. We then explore the true objective of network scanning — identifying live systems, open ports, and vulnerabilities. It’s a key phase of reconnaissance for both attackers and defenders.

Finally, we dive deep into NMAP, the go-to tool for network scanning. From simple commands to advanced options, you’ll learn how to map a network and uncover potential entry points with precision.

📘 What You’ll Learn:

➡️TCP flags and handshake basics

➡️The role of network scanning in ethical hacking

➡️How to discover hosts, ports, and vulnerabilities

➡️NMAP fundamentals and advanced techniques


🎧 Listen now to sharpen your scanning skills and strengthen your offensive security toolkit.
