Penetration testing – Discovery: The process of gathering as much information as possible about the target system, network, or application. This could include data about IP addresses, domain details, user inputs, network mapping, and more. The intention here is to identify potential vulnerabilities or weak spots that can be targeted during the test, often utilizing techniques like port scanning, vulnerability scanning, and network sniffing.
