Port scanning, service version & OS detection, tweaking the service enumeration intensity level… Just which version of Linux is running on the target anyway? SYN scan > TCP Full scan Taking a look at the Nmap scripting engine next time.

Liking the options so far, nice and simple, just learning the ropes.

Transport Layer today, nice bit of TCP & UDP. Now that’s complete it’s on to the host discovery techniques, starting with more Nmap.
