Auditing the security of a device or firewall by identifying the network connections which can be made to, or through it.
Identifying open ports on a target host in preparation for auditing.
Network inventory, network mapping, maintenance and asset management.
Auditing the security of a network by identifying new servers.
Generating traffic to hosts on a network, response analysis and response time measurement.
Finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in a network.
DNS queries and subdomain search
