Port Scanning

Submitted by Srikanth on Friday, 7 November 200813 Comments

Port Scanning is one of the most popular techniques used by hackers to discover services that can be compromised.

A potential target computer runs many ’services’ that listen at ‘well-known’ ‘ports’.
By scanning which ports are available on the victim, the hacker finds potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited.
Scan techniques can be differentiated broadly into Vanilla, Strobe, Stealth, FTP Bounce, Fragmented Packets, Sweep and UDP Scans.
